Weird isn’t it. You can say Aribo has been shite, DD is not up to it, but get criticised for saying our shit keeper is shite.

For you simple folk. Had Baz let it in, they would have scored 2, making the final result 2-2 (as opposed to 2-1) You claimed Baz’s save got us 3 points, but because we scored 2 goals we would have got 1 anyway Therefore the most Baz’s save could have given us was 2 extra points. Unless of course Baz’s save was so miraculous the EPL gave us an extra bonus point.

Do you get 0 points for a 2-2 then?

What, the Zack bit? Anyway, I couldn’t give a shite what anybody calls themselves, none of my business. I’m not the one constantly banging on about people who do. Sorry, that should read, I’m not the one banging on about “far right” people who do.

Fucking hell he’s off again. What’s this obsession with names, although I notice he doesn’t include the boob whisperer David Paulden when questioning someone’s name change.

The second goal was completely down to him, he rose like an anorexic Warwick Davies, I’ve seen 16 year olds with more physical presence in the 6 yard box. AM would have come & punched that away, no fucking bother. If you don’t think a keeper should be doing better with that, you’re off your friggin head. The thing is, it wouldn’t be so bad if that was all he was bad at, if he was a good shot stopper, who struggled to manage the 6 yard box from corners. But it’s not, he’s shit at pretty much every aspect of goalkeeping except passing it. That’s about as useful as a cricketer who can’t bowl, can’t bat, can’t catch, but can throw the ball back to the wicket keeper well.

To be fair to Lego head, this was probably one area he was excellent in. Keeping the ball, sucking the life out of the game and seeing out the victory. It’s a difficult league we it’s games coming up quickly, handling it is something he has to learn quickly. He seems to understand the need to protect players & ease through when games are won, but the implementation isn’t quite there. Had he left Leo on & he’d got injured in the 85th minute , he’d be getting pelters. This is the first time Leo will have played a season like this, so it’s understandable we need to protect him a bit. Everytime he comes off they’ll be a drop off, same with Fellowes. Whilst I understand the rationale, the execution isn’t quite right imo. For me we’re still set up to be open and outplay sides, but with the mentality of seeing out the game, we’ve just swapped top players for slightly worse ones. Add to that the mentality of “hold what we have” and we’re caught between 2 stools. Personally, I’d rather he adapted tactically to see the game out rather than just swap inferior players in. . As the half went on, id rather he had Jack or Edwards on the right instead of bringing in Frazier, sat Jander in front of them . Leaving OR & Downes centrally. You could even have done the same the other side with Wellington or Manning in front of other. There’s no way WBA were scoring 3 if we set up to see it through & had that mindset. im sure there will be lessons learnt. Had we needed 5, we’d have come out with that mindset and got them. Nothing I’ve seen indicates this guy won’t adapt and work out how to see games out his way with minimum fuss.

If you don’t think the second goal was down to him, then there’s no hope for you. That second goal meant an incredible nervy last few minutes, and that was 100% down to his weak and pathetic “effort” to defend that corner.
-
I’m looking forward to the photo of his position when the guy heads it in. One thing for sure, other sides will notice his lack of presence and ownership of his 6 yard box. Peter Schmeichel used to spread himself and look massive, he changed goal keeping with his revolutionary star fish approach. Baz takes the opposite approach,he’s perfected the jelly fish technique….
-
Good first half. Tried to see the second half out and maybe got a bit complacent. Poor keeper and defence are going to cost us, but our forward play is different level…
-
Fucking hell, Warwick Davies would have jumped higher than Baz for that second goal. Weak as piss, AM would have come and punched that, no bother. I can’t believe anyone thinks he’s not put us under more pressure than was necessary tonight. It’s every fucking week, first one, debatable, second one 100% on that fucking useless clown…

That’s the correct approach. It’s indisputable that they’re the biggest & most influential group regardless of whether you personally like the music. It wasn’t always the case, in the 70’s The Stones, Who & Kinks were in the same bag. If you said “I think The Who are the greatest ever band”, it was a legitimate debate. Now, you can say “the who are my favourite band”, but you can’t say anyone other than The Beatles are the number one. Their music has aged so much better than other great acts and so many of the songs are still part of the culture. My grandson’s school choir sing “come together “ FFS. That’s the difference imo. The Stones had some great singles, Gimmie Shelter & Jumping jack flash areas good as anything Lennon & McCartney wrote, personally I think John Sebastian & Robbie Robertson wrote a couple up with them, McCartney himself has said “God only knows” is as good as anything he wrote. But it’s the number of tunes pretty much everybody knows that’s the difference, and the fact so many were just album tracks. I doubt many people can name non singles the who or Stones wrote, but that’s not the case with The Beatles. The aforementioned “Come together “ was just an album track, as was Yesterday, I saw her standing there, Back in the USSR, In my life, here comes the sun, there’s dozens of them. There’s also so many covers and young musicians are still covering them in bars and clubs now, 55 years after they split. The most remarkable thing is the timescale & age they were. 8 years was all the recording time was. The oldest, Ringo, was 29 & George was 26 when they split. It’s remarkable that so many years have passed and they’re still as popular as they are. People like what they like, but must acknowledge their achievements are way ahead of everyone else’s, by any measure other than personal preference. -

Late on parade again Soggy, jokes been done. -
The blokes travelled a couple of yards inside as well. I’m also sure there must be scouting reports stating that when he comes inside he has a pop (we’ve seen Leo do it 3 or 4 times now, you can’t tell me keepers aren’t expecting it). If the blokes gives him the eyes, twists his foot at point of impact and it flies into the other corner (although looking at it an effort like that will hit a defender), then fair play. But that takes a great ability, not many can manage. From that still pic, I’d want my keeper a couple of yards over, and his body weight moving to lift off his left foot. He doesn’t look set to me.

It’s hardly “hype”. -
Fucking hell, I did wonder what sort of halfwit watches this complete & utter pony. Hearing the results on Virgin this morning I do think the word celebrity is doing a lot of heavy lifting .
-
Correct. And he showed absolutely zero anticipation. Once the bloke cut in on his right foot it was blindingly obvious what he was going to do. Whip it into the right hand corner, his whole body shape indicated it, and I’m sure he’s done it before (as Leo keeps doing). Baz should have anticipated that, and if the guys then good enough to whip it into the other corner, then fair play, but not many at this level can. I’d expect my keeper to shift to the left slightly and set himself to dive that way as soon as the striker checks onto his right foot. Not after he’s hit it, only reacting once he’s taken the shot.

I don’t think Sir Geoffrey is a fan “England are irresponsible, rubbish and too far up their backsides to care.” Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum think they, and only they, know the secret to modern Test cricket, but we should stop listening to them.”
-
Fair play to the bloke, he’s done better than any of us thought he would. It also shows how completely out of his depth Still was, forget Lego, Jones or even Seles in hindsight his appointment was SR’s biggest fuck up, and with their record that’s saying something. The transfer window is looking better and better now the new signings are being managed properly, and we’re building some momentum. Clearly we don’t know if he’ll be decent long term, but it’s a short term business and we’re now looking at the right end of the table.

Enjoy him this season, because I’ll be amazed if he’s with us next one…
-
Correct. We’re looking well capable of climbing up the league and making the play offs, but he will absolutely let us down in a big moment this season and cost us. Pointing that out isn’t being negative or “hating” him. It’s a fact that to go up this season we’ll need AM back in or a new keeper. People need to wake up and smell the coffee….
