It has been a frustrating season so far from Seb. He was always going to be a 'stand-in' centre half for us this term which is principally how he was used last season - and to very good effect I might add. But after the injury to Michael Dawson while on England duty and the continued absence of King he would have been well within his rights to expect an extended run in the side. This has not been the case. I felt he had a bit of a shaky start to the season and this may have been the reason Harry was reluctant to hand him more starts, but of late he has been excellent when deputising, either when starting or once introduced as a sub to cover the inevitable injury/sending off at centre back.
Quick, strong and good in the air, Harry still prefers to start with two of Dawson, Kaboul and Gallas of late and once King and Woodgate return there is a danger Seb could be 6th choice, which for me would be incredibly harsh. Strangely Redknapp always sings his praises in any post match interview so it must be a case of Bassong needing to knuckle down, stick at it and grab any opportunities that come his way.
Keep up the good work - we don't want to see you off in the summer as a result of limited opportunities in the starting XI.
