For me, our top 8 GK of my lifetime would be:

1. Niemi

2. Shilton

3. Flowers

4. Maik Taylor

5. Boruc

6. Baz

7. Forster

8. Jones

The rest have all been much of a much. Baz only makes top 8 because of his exceptional distribution and is the best of the modern style of keepers.

Taylor above Boruc and Baz above Jonah is hilarious.

What on earth is that?

Where is McCarthy, Ramsdale, Kelvin Davis? Why is Bazunu even in the list?

Is this one of the worst takes in forum history? 😂

[Lord Duckhunter]

To be fair to Pingpong, he has got a point. Jones is 58, so it is debatable whether he’s better than Baz. Personally, I think he is, but can understand people who think Baz’s distribution may just give him the edge.

May I know which team you are supporting, ping pong?

[West Dean FC Legend]

I used to like Peter Wells. I remember posting this on a Saints Forum years ago - so long ago I can't even remember which one it was - and a chap replied really, really angrily saying he was the worst goalie Saints had ever had and I was an idiot.

He wasn't world-class but he wasn't that bad either.

[sledger]

the wrongly disallowed millwall goal on saturday was a repeat of the qpr goal.Bazuna is to small,lacks bravery,his footwork is terrible and mainly is a poor keeper.If we hadnt paid a fortune for him he would have been binned off long ago,stealing a living at this level.

So Bruce Grobbelaar and John Burridge dont make that list? Both after Shilton.

All the Championship games Bazunu and McCarthy have played for Saints. The facts are freely avaliable on transfermarkt. You can check them yourself if you want. 

Whether you think someone is superb or terrible has no bearing on the facts, I'm afraid.

 

Bazunu = 1.9 points per game/ 87 points over a season

McCarthy = 1.0 points per game/ 46 points over a season

Obviously, even though McCarthy has been here all the time Bazunu has, he hasn't played as many games because managers want to win.

Bazunu W29 D12 L11 

McCarthy W3 D3 L6

That data is skewed by a much smaller dataset of games and the 5-0 at Leicester skews that proportionally. So not just my opinion I’m afraid. Alex played more games under Still than Bazunu after Gavin got canned post-Hull debacle.

By the way, they’re both crap and we are debating whether a cow pat or dog shit is worse. WTF Martin and Rasmus were doing offering McCarthy a 2-year contract after Wembley I have no idea. Rasmus has the double distinction of signing of Bazunu for £10m plus even if it was Shields’s bonkers idea. We’ve had some right twats running the club.

Burridge ought to be - old but good, if mad as a box of frogs. 

Brucie had some brilliant nights - Newcastle home he kept us in it until the late assault on their goal at the Archers End. But there’s always that ‘did he let one in at Coventry?’. Dave Merrington had a view I would say and Beasant didn’t let him down, huge role in keeping us up.

Grobbelaar shouldnt be on any list,proven bent as f+ck,an insult to the profession.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Another Baz special. Should he have done better, all I know is their keeper saved 2 pretty much identical efforts. No doubt they were stoppable & Baz was unlucky again.

Personally I wouldn't expect my keeper to save that.

Their keeper also let in two goals which were basic saves. 

[saintant]

Still has major problem with positioning. Again he's left a big gap to his left and can't reach the shot. He'd save far more if he understood angles.

[bugenhagen]

At half time, I thought their keeper was poor, and maybe I'd rather have Baz, but he already saved two similar shots from Leo to the one Baz let in. I should have known better...

I just can't stand seeing him being slightly out of position before a shot comes, the slow reaction even on shots that hits the post, or goes outside.

WHat an absolute bloody wally.  No keeper is saving that Gray effort.

Bazunu played very well today.

Neither would I, when my keeper is Baz...
