We must not get too carried away with our recent upturn in form, but. For the first time I've started to see how much of a confidence keeper Baz is. I just assumed his deficiencies were a continuum. But there's more to it. He actually looks better, he's made saves that six weeks ago would have been us conceding. There is a glimmer of hope. But we cannot be allowed to be whimsical or sentimental. If his ceiling is where we have already seen, and the peaks are the anomaly, then we need to recruit a keeper in January, no doubt about it.
But, what if, like every other player we have seen over the last 18 months, its the system/coach. What if he's actually got better but we have failed to notice until the recent change of manager?
All sounds a bit wishful thinking, until you ask yourself, who do you want in goal tomorrow.
If the other ten can pull him up to a seven, it will have a huge impact on the festive period. Huge.
That midweek clean sheet could well be ultra critical for the next eight games.
