Basham’s Passing Range

[Rodley]

Has Bash been doing extra training with Ollie Norwood? Don’t know whether anyone else has noticed but all of a sudden seems to have gained the ability to ping some outstanding cross field passes. One of my favourites of the current crop.

I have noticed, Bash has been one of our best players this season, he’s been very good in most games. His passing and surges forward with the ball have been a joy to watch.

I’m glad you’ve lightened my mood.

That said you do get the odd 10 yard pass going askew!

Not bothered about them, they all do them, even Olly.

The pass for the late goal against Norwich to McG was sublime.

Norwood would have put that on his highlight reel.

I like his pirouettes

 

[BigBed]

The ones in Broomhill after dark??

I like his pirouettes

I like the way he runs as if his legs are stuck together from the knees up. Gwaan Bash the Anti Footballer who does it all (Well)

 

[Bladesman]

Credit to Bash he has very much upped his game since we returned to the Championship. I thought he would eventually be let go as we went about improving the squad.

 

[Rodley]

213 starts for Dem Blades

He’s given everything for the red & white, even through the bad times.

Yes he runs like a pissed giraffe on ice

It has a certain raw and animalistic beauty about it.

Just like the glorious sight of Billy Sharp using the strength of his arse to hold defenders off who are twice his size.

Magnificent

That is the pass of the season so far.

This is what I said on another thread.

The Bambi thing, think that what fools most people including the opposition. Everyone thinks he's losing control when on the run but watch close and his control is fantastic. His decision making is the best of all our squad.

Also Danny04 pointed out the fine site of him marauding forward.
He is not one for that self proclaimed football purist who tries to preach and put down all other views but Bashams self development and/or the influence of CW/AK is something rare and special in the footballing world.
For a player that non of us knew and we probably all said "who, lets see if he can do a job for us?" To the Diamond we have got now is quite remarkable and something to continue to enjoy and celebrate.

Massive respect to anyone who grafts their proverbials off to get as good as they possibly can be. He’s a credit to himself.

We’re fortunate to have more than a few who will run until they drop for the cause. Bash is one of them.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Who is this Basham you speak of?

I know only of Bashiesta.

He's been able to do that since birth.

All praise Basham.

If he's started taking lessons off Norwood most of them will end up out of play or with the opposition.

Pressure creates diamonds.

Adkins in!

In my top 3, but Norwood’s pass against Reading that McG just had to lob the keeper for was also a belter.

I'd like to thank Chris Basham for proving me wrong. I honestly thought he'd fall down the pecking order over the last 2 seasons but full credit to him.

There's no doubt he's adapted his game to play at this level. Always thought he had a bit of a clanger in him at League One level but as others have said his range of passing and his control of the ball is ourstanding for a centre half. Hes improved year on year and has made that CB spot his own and I'm glad he has. The strenghtening of the midfield has also helped in that regard as he doesn't now need to fill in there as much which means he can just concentrate on his role in that position.

Above all else he is a consumate professional who lives and breathes Sheffield United. A real unsung hero of the Wilder era.
