Gavin Bazunu

He looks low on confidence, as does everyone else. I think we've probably persisted enough and we all realise that he's not going to be the keeper we'd have hoped at this stage of his career. I suspect when he's in his 30s and he's more experienced he'll be a top keeper but right now he looks too Shakey. However, will continue to support him until we have an alternative in.

I hope with Ramsdale not getting any games at Newcastle, that his Loan can be cancelled and we can tempt him back in January

Can I ask what current attributes/ potential he’s currently showing that makes you suspect he’s going to a top keeper in his 30s? Because I see nothing other than he’s ok with his feet, which means he’d probably be better playing outfield. With his hands however, he’s shit, with no signs of improvement to date since we signed him. And let’s not even start on his positioning and awareness.

Anyone know when Man City will be activating their buy back agreement?

when he’s in his thirties as apparently that’s when he will come good ( according to some)

A terrible judgement error picking him. A real conundrum for the manager as he cant go ack to the less flappable Macca.

I nearly smashed the TV up when he held onto the ball for more than 8 secs. I was shouting kick it !!!

Let alone letting go of the weak shot my Chair than was simple. Yes he did save the header but the defence nervy enough let alone with him behind them. He also kicked into touch somethng gets pointed at Macca.

It's hard to blame him for forgetting that rule, it's not been enforced since the first week of the season 😂

Well when the ref has his hand in the air counting it down from 5, thats a bit of a clue. No excuse for not knowing the rules, and the reason its not happening is that all the other keepers release the ball

Both GKs (can extend to all 3 if you include Long) are shite. Eckert is more keen to build from the back though which Bazunu is better at so I suspect he'll stick with him. 

Either way, it has to be addressed in January as well as getting in a striker.

Maybe we can turn him into a striker. He is good with his feet, can dive late well enough to get free kicks and penalties, doesn't have a stupid haircut and finds space in the box that no-one else does. What's not to like?

[Smirking_Saint]

Both GKs are shite, I was wrong that we can carry them into next season, but a lot of that is because of how frail defensively we are which means both of our naff GKs have to face too many shots 

Baz is getting hammered for last night, and he did flap at it, but lets not let Stephens and THb off the hook, that run should be tracked, we shouldn’t be asking a keeper to come out for that really

Its just indicative of how bad we are this year, nobody takes responsibility anywhere

Course we fucking should, I’d expect a keeper to have a better starting position, and read  the game better. Even if those 2 things failed him, he should have made more of an effort. Absolutely no blame attached anywhere else, “track the run” my arse, the line was high enough for the keeper to just collect the ball.

The defence were pushing up a little, as they should ,and in a a good line. Sometimes a good run is a good run. 

Baz is a clown.
