Sheaf Saint

True, but it will be fresh in his mind and he'll be a lot more 'safety first' with his distribution today.

So after three years and 7 different managers, one of them has finally clocked on to how shit Bazunu is and dropped him. The fact that I even had to type such a sentence is a criminal indictment of how badly the club has been run in that time.

Yes, all too familiar...

This is the crux. Macca's flaws can be coached out of his performances. Bazunu's can't.

I thought he looked decent in the couple of games he played in August, but I've not seen anything of him playing in a CB pair rather than a 3. We all wanted to see the back of that back 3 formation, and since we reverted to to a 4 we've looked even worse. But I think that's down to the form/quality of the 2 CBs. No idea what's going on with THB because he's way off the required standard right now, and Stephens is and always has been a liability. Could we do any worse than start Wood and Quarshie at the back against Boro on Saturday? It's got to be worth a try.

Maybe that's another issue though. If the recent rumours about him having a long-term illness is correct then starting him on Saturday after putting in such a shift last night may not be feasible.

Well, the main takeaway from tonight for me is that, despite the result, that's the first time I've actually enjoyed watching Saints so far this season.

Exactly. Not a chance Baz would have had the reactions to make that first save and we'd have been 1-0 in the first minute. Totally different game from there on.

Seven Million Pounds

I'm struggling to think what league he does belong in.

How the fuck is that a goal kick?

My god he really can't control a ball at all can he.

I think they're all referring to the previous ball.

Would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Only if Liverpool score again.

Sheeeeaaaaaaaa!!!

He makes Ali Dia look good.

Again he didn't even try and jump for that.

And another hopeless attempt to play the ball from Downs.

It's quite pathetic watching him jogging about. He has zero presence about him.

Seriously - how the actual fuck did Scienza not get that header on target? That's absolutely shocking.

He was captain as well wasn't he?

Agreed. He's a big upgrade on Shoehorn Leghorn.

That's an outstanding block by Wood.

Chelsea losing at Lincoln!
