The bloke shot straight in the middle of the goal. AM saves that every day of the week. Had he been playing behind the exact same players it wouldn’t have been 4, I’m convinced of that. The first one he had his legs so far open I thought Bonnie Blue was in the nets, the second one was easily saveable and the 4th was down to him and his weak parry. Even the third one he dived in completely the wrong direction…He’s a clown…

I’m fed up with bashing Gavin, if he fucked off I wouldn’t need to. Why do we have to put up with this chump when it’s the easiest position to improve. He is far and away the worst player in a horrendously bad set up., the worst player in the whole fucking league in his position , as bad as some of the others are, you can’t say that about any of the others.

Fucking Steve Miller would be better than “The Joker”

I watch a lot of Wessex league games, and although I’d love to say there’s better keepers, there actually isn’t . It’s probably a bigger gap in standard than any other position . So it would be an exaggeration to say Baz is that level. However, I’ve watch my son in law in National league games and I have absolutely seen better keepers than Baz at that level. He’s probably League two level at best. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s playing in England in 5 years time it’ll be at step 1 or 2 level.

Im starting to feel similar. Played exceptionally for the first half a dozen Tonda games, but has done fuck all lately. Becoming a bit of a show pony. Opposition seem to have sussed out how to stop him. It happens to every player of this type, and the best ones find a way of overcoming it. The ones that don’t disappear back to a softer league. I’m leaning towards the second outcome at the moment.

A new low for The Ghost today.

These cunts got Will Still the sack & they’re getting this bloke the sack as well. I know it’s the norm to blame SR, The manager, the formation & Spors but that lets the rest of them off the hook. This has to be the most unlikeable bunch of wankers I can remember. To capitulate like that, I’d quite frankly disgraceful and is taking the piss out of all of us who love the club. It wouldn’t bother me if there wasn’t a single one of them at the club next season. Even Leo, we keep being told how good he is, but he’s been bang average since other clubs have sussed him out. We had fucking easy chances but Downes, Armstrong & Fellowes fucked it up. Armstrong is supposed to be captain and this great goal scorer at this level, but he’s shows zero fucking leadership and misses far too many chances. As for the goals, Downes gives the ball away, yet again he fails to make an easy pass. We then go to sleep and the Baz opens his legs as wide as Bonnie Blue’s,which makes it an easy finish. Second one, pathetic from Manning & then another “should Baz of done better” moment, the bloke didn’t exactly smash it in, it looked like Barnes Wallace had designed the ball as it went past The Ghost. Third one, awful from Downes & Manning, good dive from Baz, unfortunately it was in the opposite direction to the ball. Fourth one Baz again. Pathetic display second half, flat track bullies that have no heart, no backbone and no shame.

2 horrendous performances, but they’ll be some excuse for that I’m sure. It can’t be 4 at the back because that’s the answer to all our problems. With our full backs, playing 4 at the back would be suicidal and our attacking performance won’t better Charlton, Leicester, Birmingham or WBA either….

Thanks for highlighting why some people don’t use the forum anymore.

Was it even his goal. If the championship had the same process as the premier league and opta was involved, I’m pretty sure it would have been taken off him and given as an OG. The championship just relays on the referee and club agreeing, without the ref even reviewing the footage.

Because he’s shite, was always over rated on here….

Baez is fine for that league, maybe a swap deal?

So JWP was to blame for that then, he was captain when Walcott played that season. Or is it only when Jack Stephen’s is captain, that it “starts with the captain”?

This bloke is absolutely pony. Horrendous. Why have a pony version of AA, I’d rather have kept Brenton Diaz, because although he was also pony, he’s bigger (as in physical), than this fucking bloke. If we’re going to have someone running round doing fuck all, surely a bigger bloke doing fuck all would be better than a midget doing fuck all.

What’s he like in nets…

That save will be remembered all around the world..

If that’s true, why did he bother with Still? Why not just appoint his “lover” from day one. Unless of course it was all a cunning plan, get someone in he thought would fail, putting promotion and his position in doubt, for his “lover” to come along and rescue us. For this cunning plan to work, the players needed to put in 4 or 5 brilliant performances until The Lover got the job. Of course the alternative take, is he got Tonda in because he thinks eventually he’ll be a top coach, who could run the youngsters before eventually stepping up to replace Still. a combination of Still’s shitty spell & Tonda’s first few results as an interim changed that and he thought results deserved him a shot.

Agreed. There’s a lot of rewriting history going on lately. I’d have preferred someone else but once results, and more importantly performance ,were dso good h, he deserved the job. Overall the points total is probably about par, and I’m not sure anyone else would have more from those games, but the issue is the downward trajectory. Spells like this are when experience is vital ,so not having any is defo a worry,. I’m a bit on the fence at the moment, we probably could have done better, but we could have done a lot worse and still be grubbing around the bottom of the league. Once results were so good the club were in a difficult situation, his results pretty much made it inevitable he’d get the gig, One thing for sure, is there’s a lot more saying they never wanted him now, than there was after those victories

The fact a good save is credited as “world class” & people are waxing lyrically about the save, tells you everything you need to know about Baz. Expectations are so low, it’s probably the first time Baz has made a save you didn’t think he should. It was very unlike Baz , he actually made it harder for the bloke to score by abandoning his ghost alter ego and made himself bigger. It’s one of those where you spread yourself and hope the ball hits you, thatd nit a criticism as it’s an important part of being in nets. Poor miss from the guy, he probably thought 1-0 and must be worried he’ll end up with the unenviable record of being the only bloke denied a goal by a good Baz save. He’s still shite though. A couple of times he could easily have collected crosses but didn’t, the only which went for a corner was embarrassing, if that was an under 15 keeper I’d be bollocking him for not giving the defender a call and collecting the ball.

What’s Jander’s best position? Id say centre midfield, where he’s played pretty much every game.

Ramsdale was a number 2, so that is why he doesn’t count. It also kind of blows your complaint about not buying a number 1 out of the water. Best keeper we’ve had for years, and god forbid, he wasn’t playing for his current side when bought.

So slow, he ended up slumming it at Barcelona

We’ve played 4 at the back a couple of times this season (games conveniently over looked) , and they’ve been 2 of our worst performances. In fact the goal threat 4 at the back brings was non existent against Pompey. So people saying “we can’t do any worse” are wrong, it could, because it was…

I think a lot of modern coaches don’t like coaching the ugly part of the game. I don’t think they want to put the hours and hours of drilling needed to perfect the art. There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that had Tony Pullis come in after Still, THB, Wood, Stephens, all of them would be getting their head on the ball, making blocks & last ditch tackles. AM would be in bloody nets as well. Players don’t like being drilled defensively, remember Lego said he played the way he did because he didn’t enjoy just heading it and kicking it when he was a player. They all think they’re Pep nowadays…

I’m still a big believer in senior pros setting an example and he has the attributes & attitude missing from our bunch of fairies. Lawrie could point at Bally when it’s pissing down or snowing at training and say “he’s won the World Cup & he’s putting it in”. This bloke went to Barca when seemingly on his way down, that has to resonate with the squad. I know it didn’t seem to work with Lallana & Walcott, but they appear to be different characters and we were in a higher league. Had he signed for Sheffield Utd or Coventry I’m sure the people moaning about him, would be slagging the club off for not bringing him back.
