Couldn’t have made that any easier for the keeper to save. We look terrible today.

Has the referee got money on Norwich? Six minutes gone and a blatant corner and penalty not given for Saints.

Probably Rasmus’ PA

Tomorrow would be a good opportunity to switch back to four at the back without Tom Fellows. A team struggling too. I think it’ll be closer than some think, torn between 1-1 and 2-1 to us. It has every potential to be a bit of a banana skin for us.

Height, fight, ability too would be nice 🤣

It’s just baffling how no Saints players have been selected. 😂 It is entirely logical, that’s the point, who puts these shortlists together 🤣

Go!

Is it behind a paywall? Copy and paste job anyone? 😂

What a spannerish response. For you simple folk, Wrexham were 1-0 up, Bazunu made a very good save - denying them a second, Saints then scored two goals and won the game 2-1. Three points.

This entirely. There is so much deadwood around the place still and those wages will still need bringing down. As I’ve mentioned above, I think we should get a GK, but I don’t think it’s seen as a priority. I reckon we’ll end up getting a wide player, someone in that David Brooks mould of two years ago. (A loan). The only other position possibly would be a full back dependant on another defender leaving or a loan being cancelled.

Listened on my way home to work, but he said that’s who “he would go after without fail”.

I’ll give you three points straight away for this season, Wrexham at home first game, denied their second goal with a good save, ten minutes later we scored twice. I think people are massively mistaking the point. I don’t think anyone is arguing he is shit. But Tuesday wasn’t the one to continue berating him about. 😂

Just to reiterate, I think WE SHOULD get a goalkeeper. But I don’t see George Long’s pointless loan being cancelled. Alex McCarthy isn’t leaving when he’s on stupid money and six months left. Neither will Gavin Bazunu. Plus you still have Aaron Ramsdale on the books.

But none of his players quite amusingly 🤣

I think everyone recognises he is very, very poor. But he wasn’t the problem on Tuesday night. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ross Stewart shouldn’t be offered a new contract. If he was unfit for work as much as me he’d have gone down the fitness to work route and been paid off. We’ve established it would be “nice” to have a new GK, but we aren’t going to cancel George Long’s loan, no one is picking up Alex McCarthy’s wages when he has six months left, and we won’t be selling our current first choice in Gavin Bazunu. So you may as well rule out the GK option until the summer. I think we’ll only bring in a wide player, someone who hopefully injects a bit of pace. I would like to see a CB leave for someone better but again realistically I don’t think it’ll happen. Equally I’d like to see a better left sided WB, but again I doubt this will change as long as Larios is on the books and we have Welington as back up.

Ok let me phrase it another way; go with this example: we could win 1-0 with one attempt at goal, take an absolute pounding and he saves ten-plus attempts at goal from the opposition. But there would still be many on here complaining about that one misplaced pass that went out for a throw in. He didn’t really do anything wrong on Tuesday. But if you look at the first, second and third comments after that game you’ll see how there was those few that said how shit he was, despite probably keeping us in it. Understand? —— As mentioned before, I am not a Bazunu fan, but bloody go after him after he’s made a mistake by all means. Tuesday there was no reason to.

Leicester weren’t deemed catchable two years ago, and yet for a short period everyone did. All teams will have their drop off.

We’ll get promoted. Coventry will start to falter over Christmas. Middlesbrough and Stoke will fall away in the new year too, they’ll be lucky to finish in the play offs. Ipswich will probably go up too.

We aren’t buying a goalkeeper, you may as well rule that out. I think we’ll get a wide player on loan, hopefully someone in the Scienza mould. I don’t see a lot of change. I’m very confident that Aribo and Edozie will be on their way out, maybe a couple of other fringe players out on loan too.

Was mentioned on Goin Home with Adam and Jo that the players wanted Tonda Eckhart very early on, due to his direct, straight-forward and simple approach. It’s certainly showing.

And as long as there are posters that blatantly have an agenda against him, even when he’s done nothing of note wrong in this particular game, those posters will never be taken seriously. 😂 I don’t think anyone sees Gavin Bazunu as an amazing keeper, I include myself in that. But he did more to help the team in last nights game than hinder them. Chances are we’d have conceded way sooner due to poor defending in our own penalty area. As I said higher up the thread, he wasn’t the issue last night, and to say that he was is pretty pathetic and laughable. Just have a week of slagging him off needlessly. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

I said a few months back what an excellent player he is in this division. Future Ballon d’Or winner.

The defenders, in fact the ten outfield players that were all in our penalty area failed on four successive occasions to clear the ball or win a header just prior to the second goal. Given that he saved the three previous attempts says more about the players in this instance than it does him.

I’d like to be a fly on the wall to understand how we can have game after game of amazing first half and monumental drop off in the second. Is that not a fair point? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m not saying he’s crap, I’ve not even said he’s crap. But as fans we can see that certain players aren’t performing or that as the game peters out you have to tweak tactics, and it just stays the same. An example is bringing on Joe Aribo who has been dogshit every time he has played, that is poor in-game management. It’s basic stuff. 😂
