Completely disagree on the third goal. No competent keeper gets beaten at their near post by a shot like that. That aside, I agree with you the defence is non existent and that we would still have lost with a different keeper. That said, I have no confidence in Baz generally. To win promotion you need some performances from a keeper and I don't see Baz capable of keeping us in tight games.

He was awful. Worst Saints debut for a good while.

Right, so your argument is that it's the defence's job to make sure he doesn't ever have to make a save? Baz's clanger came at a key moment and made sure we went in 3-0 down. Of the saves he did make, it's good fortune that those didn't result in goals as he just patted it straight back to an oncoming attacker. Had the defence not been quick to the clearance it would have been 7-0 so it's really swings and roundabouts isn't it? Re "no glaring faults" if your view is that a competent keeper doesn't save number 3 then your standards for keepers must be seriously low. By the way, I'm not arguing the defence is any good but that doesn't excuse Baz's clear faults.

When Martin was appointed we were told that possession football was the way because the opposition can't score if they don't have the ball. Well, we had 70% today and the opposition still scored 5...
-
Classic. No engagement with Bazunu's glaring faults as usual.
-
Agreed. Crediting a goalkeeper that makes huge errors with any saves is ridiculous. Making saves is literally his job.
-
Comparing Bazunu to McCarthy doesn't make him good...
-
Anyone who thinks Baz is even vaguely competent is not watching the same game as me.
-
Because his clanger changed the game. At 2-0 down at half time it's not great but possibly salvageable but at 3-0 is game over. Is all when and good making some saves when the game is lost and the pressure is off. If we are 1-0 and holding on in a key game is anyone trusting Baz to put in a Kelvin v Leeds performance which you need to go up? I'm not.
-
I knew we'd struggle when I saw the team but a 5-0 hiding was unexpected. Mara shouldn't play again this season, send him to the kids until he regains his confidence. At the moment he is nowhere near. As for Holgate, fuck me.
-
It's the tactical set up. We've been spoiling for a hiding all season and we've just had it. Question is whether RM can change it. On current evidence, he won't.
-
He looks out of his depth.
-
Didn't think I would be saying this but I don't think Martin will be here at the end of the season.
-
What an insult or a performance. Questions to be asked here.
-
You mean when it just hits him? Yeah, same...
-
The sooner we get THB and Stephens back and bomb off Janny B and Holgate the better.
-
Honestly do we even practice defending?
-
Mara is also shite. Unbelievable he is still on.
-
Surely he cant be worse than Bazunu..
-
Still patted it straight back to the attacker. Some things never change.
-
Not a chance we will trouble the top 2 if we are liable to get hammered like this. Last time we went up we were basically in every game.
-
Conceding 4 twice in the first 5 games. Jesus wept.
-
Can we send Holgate back? Christ you can see why Everton don't want him. Utter toss.
-
God this is depressing. Getting hammered in the PL is one thing but the Championship is a new low. Mason Holgate can just do one. We knew he wasn't good enough
-
Yep. Patted it back right into the danger area just like Norwich. But, of course, third goal was his first mistake...
