Sorry as I attend games I do not look at the match threads and obviously I am totally wrong in everything I said before, as so many have pointed out. I now remember why I do not post much (been watching Saints for 65 years, season ticket holder but dont have a clue about football) when so many here find pleasure in attacking a fellow supporter they do not agree with.

Is he any good? The 2021/22 highlights video I watched only has one world class save and the rest are all pretty standard. The video only shows saves and doesn't show any crosses caught etc. Much like Baz, he doesn't look the biggest keeper.

He’s on approx 76k a week,that’s from a reliable source.

He won't at the moment. Saints players have circa 40% wage reductions after any PL relegation.

He's taller than Baz (6-3), but not Forster. 6-3 is perfectly fine for a keeper these days. Apparently average in PL is 6-2, Donnarumma though is 6-5, and Neuer is 6-4. It's not really Baz's height that is a problem, but what he does with it (i.e. can't jump).

A massive step ahead of Baz then.

Even if he wasn't, the fact he was likely on that at some point is rather frightening. But we do have form for it.

What's the wage drop for relegation to League One?

The new Boruc? I’d take that. 

[ErwinK1961]

He’s only played a handful of games in the last 2 and a half years. Also thrown in without properly training with the team.

Lets see how he goes over next few weeks.

Yep, looked rusty but still managed some cracking saves. 
 

Could go either way at this point

It’s still astonishing even with a 40% relegation reduction for a goalkeeper who can’t save shots, catch, claim his area, communicate or just fill the goal a little bit. His distribution isn’t particularly notable either. Astonishing, if LD’s source is correct, is an understatement. Someone was seriously alcohol dependent when they offered that contract up.

Considering his lack of game time you'd expect some rustiness, and will probably take him a few weeks to get up to speed.

Some erratic moments but also some good ones. The first goal looked bad but he was blocked off by the Donny player.

Thing I liked most was how vocal he was, shouting at the defenders. Seems a long time since we've seen that.

That was very noticeable in the first half. Even when we were up the other end of the pitch. 

Couldn't see much of the goals from where we were, but his save from the FK in the first half was decent without being outstanding, and it looked like he pulled off a great double save at the end but I'd like to see a replay of that.

Good

[Plumstead_Saint]

He was poor.
Should have saved the 2nd goal - near post right by him and he didn't even move, just watched it go in.
Made 4 saves , 2 of which were simples -  didn't have to move either foot, stretch or stoop.
The other 2 were punches which went to opposition players.
His kicking was poor, didn't manage a single successful pass from goal kicks.
Charged out of his area needlessly despite 2 Saints players having it covered, only to head it straight to a Doncaster player.
Obviously didn't communicate with either of them. He was bl**dy lucky they didn't score from an easy lob with him out of his area.
Couldn't keep a clean sheet against a team bottom of league 1.
No better than Baz, and possibly worse.

Ridiculously harsh. 
 

He’s not played in months and just been thrown in. Made a few good saves, enough to know that his shot stopping is better than bazunu already. 
 

The rest we’ll wait and see for now.

Beat me to it. Had all the hallmarks of a Bazunu family member/agent. 

[jasonbenali]

Thought he did OK to be honest. Some decent saves for someone who hasn't played in a long time and you could see he was trying to control his area and to be vocal. Yes, the rush goalie was a bit bonkers but nothing his mentor Manuel Neuer doesn't do which I suspect is where he got that from! I'll concede he could have done better for the second goal, but am hoping he will come good with games.

[Willo of Whiteley]

If he made one save he was already up on Bazunu. 
He didn’t have to do much today. Given that he made two saves in four seconds I’d say he is world class.

Full expect Sport Republic’s statisticians and recruitment team to be discussing and preparing a £40M bid now.

[Lighthouse]

I don't think we can really draw much of an opinion from that, given how little he has played and how poor the opposition were. Obviously that was the perfect fixture to get some combat experience with his new team mates, we'll have a better idea of what he's all about after the next two, against decent opponents, at SMS.

[LoyalSaintSO50]

Disappointed. Was hoping for a big upgrade and not convinced on first viewing.

Don’t see him as the commanding keeper we need to help with our massive defensive problems from crosses, corners etc. Was nowhere near the goal from their corner. Did try, and punched a couple first half and juggled a couple he came to claim second half so hopefully rusty and I’m being very harsh. Slightly concerned though that our recruitment gurus have done it again 

[Stud mark of doom]

From what I saw he seemed fairly ok, so clearly a massive upgrade on Baz.

He was blocked off by their player from the corner.. I think VAR may have disallowed it

[East Kent Saint]

Meanwhile Ramsdale saves 3 penalties in the shoot out to win the tie.

[St. Ciervo]

I like that he can make a good reactionary save(s) in a high-pressure moment. Regular game time will hopefully help some of those bizarre decisions and distributions. He has a cannon for an arm that will definitely cause problems for other teams.

That’s not illegal, it’s literally the reason everyone thought Baz was atrocious against West Brom.

[Harry_SFC]

Looked ok. As others have said - should've done better for their second but he needs some time to get up to speed (we don't really have time but it is what it is)

[Baird of the land]

He looks a work in progress.
I liked that he at least tried to come for some crosses unlike bazanu. Still wish we’d got someone who’d come for more. 
didn’t mind him coming out for the header. Hopefully communication with defence will  improve with games.

I’m sure our world class coaching team, our roster of crack match analysts and our visionary coaches led by Tonda and Ben can equip him with the tools he needs to be a success 

[Tom & Gerry]

Bazunu would have been slaughtered for those 2 goals, but then again Bazunu would have been slaughtered for any goal he let in.

[WinglessWonder]

I thought he did ok given that he was thrown in so soon after joining the club. The headed clearance was unexpected though and I've a feeling he might provide some entertainment for the remainder of the season!

................yes we do have time ,we are at least a couple or more seasons in this league or lower yet. We need players who are mentally tougher than they currently are,tactics that start to impose on other teams and certainly a manager not a friend, in the mindset of the players. They are spoon fed to nearly every whim they choose,but what about us loyal born and breed fans having to see such an anti climactic football season year on year?

He's amongst the worst shot tosave ratio in the division, and that's been the case every season he's been with us. It's not unwarranted.

seems an accurate description to me, but because he is new he gets a pass? if baz or mccarthy had let the first in, they would have been slaughtered for poor positioning/near post failings. None of the saves he made were anything Baz wouldn't make, so i am not sure why you are suggesting its obvious he is a better shot stopper from that performance alone. I am sure we hope its not the case, but there is a possibility that he's not a special keeper too.

Well there are certainly mitigating factors for him to be given a bit of leeway.

Bazunu and McCarthy ran out of those some time ago.

Agree to disagree. 
 

I don’t think baz saves the free kick, or the double save at the end. 
 

The guy probably doesn’t even know half the teams name, so he deserves a lot of slack for today and time to settle in.
