When did Baz ever win us points with his performance? I cant recall any instances of it. You need a keeper to pull off a save to keep you in a game when you're under the cosh, also that kind of action can change the teams belief or the momentum of a game. We've seen it with Peretz, Baz is a million miles off.

Wrexham at home, big save when 1-0 down.

Leicester at home, when 1-0 up

Millwall at home, kept it at 0-0

Brum away, I think we were 1-0 down when he pulled off a worldie

How come they had so many listed as starting, before "substitutes"? Preemptive strike, before several of them return to the bench? 🙂

Israel loves a preemptive strike.

He 'won us points' in this game, right?

The one where his positioning was so bad he managed to get lobbed by a wafty header from outside the six yard box?

Annexing some of the other team's spots to make a buffer zone.

I said already. We will be stuck with Baz for the next season. We will bring us to where he belongs.

Thats why I went with it, considering the amount of jaw droppingly idiotic things this club have done over the past 5 years.

Shit. I also read that Leicester's 6 point deduction has been reversed on appeal. It's been a really bad news day today!

Interview with Peretz:

Talks about playing with Neuer and Kane, and how him and his Mrs are apparently the Israeli Posh and Becks

[saintant]

Come on guys...this bloke was outstanding tonight. He was as cool as a cucumber and played a blinder. Praise where praise is due. Or are we just getting a bit blase about him 🙂

[St Chalet]

As a Saints fan of 40+ years we've been blessed with the likes of Shilton and Niemi. We've been dogged with the likes of a few other that I am classier to name.

 

Peretz has been a breath of fresh air, like Artur Boruc, right time - right keeper.

Nope. He is a very good goalkeeper. I think he's better than this level and if we don't go up he won't stay, which is fair enough.

Made a blinder of a save a minute or two before the winner. He’s made an immeasurable difference to this team.

[benjii]

He's absolutely huge part of this run we're on. Big personality and you can see the defenders trust him. He improves Manning, THB, Bree etc. by being there.

Absolutely - I said this before but it shows the value of a decent goalkeeper a) balling them out for mistakes/good play and being vocal and b) the confidence they have knowing they have a goalie more likely to make a save behind them.

Fkn paper hands offered neither of those things.

[Tamesaint]

I have seen the headlines from a parallel universe about last night's game. Baz was in goal and the headlines were how unlucky Saints were to lose 3 2. 

[ally_uk]

Think he is brilliant 👏 should make him a high priority signing in the summer.

[Lord Duckhunter]

It’s not just the back 4 he’s imposed himself on, it’s the whole team. The corner at the end summed it up for me, he was into their half shouting at us to keep it in the corner, as it genuinely looked like we were going to cross it into the middle. We actually might well have done as the attempt to hold the ball there lasted all of about 3 seconds 😂, but that’s beside the point. Baz would have stood there ghost like, whilst he’s involved with every aspect of the game. Class act…

Nah... Wouldn't have made any difference mate, innit...

''Never fall in love with a loan player''

Damn.

[pimpin4rizeal]

Think you could argue he’s been our player of the season even in such a short space of time. The difference it makes having him on goal over bazunu is just mental . All this good run we are having just wouldn’t happen without peretz

[EFL Saints]

Happy Easter and congratulations on the Arsenal victory! 

I've written an article about how recent goalkeeping changes have affected the teams that were significantly underperforming/overperforming their expected goals statistics in the first half of the Championship season. Dropping it in this thread as Daniel Peretz features heavily.

Hope you enjoy it and please subscribe to the blog if you do - I usually write about the Championship with a bit of extra EFL stuff thrown in. 

Enjoy the rest of the cup run and fingers crossed it will mean a bit of rotation when my team (Ipswich) come down to St Mary's in a few weeks 😉

Best keeper in the league imo. Feels surreal that he plays for Saints given what we've been used to.

[skintsaint]

Watching Neuer tonight, he won't get in front of him, so just stay here Daniel!

[Farmer Saint]

Gonna be depressing if we get promoted this season and we can't buy Peretz because Ramsdale is massively overrated and massively overpaid.

If by some miracle we did achieve an FA Cup win, would we be the first non-top tier English team to get European football? I think we would be in the PL era. 

Presumably, bearing in mind the extra predicted income, this would enable our PL war chest to be larger if we were promoted...

It's the hope that kills you as a Saints fan... Need to keep reminding myself that most likely we'll get a dodgy ref decision and suffer a crucial defeat somewhere in the playoffs.

Didn't Millwall achieve that after they played Manchester Utd, c 2004 ?

Yep both got relegated the same year as winning a cup.

Skates should have been in Europe in 10/11 too but couldn't afford it/ UEFA wouldn't let them 😂

Don't know about anyone else but a European campaign whilst being in the championship sounds incredible. Lazio and Lincoln away in the same week? Yes please.

We played in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup in 76/77 as a 2nd tier club. Remember the game against Anderlecht, before that Olympique Marseilles and Carrick Rangers.

Perhaps a bizarre and unlikely prospect, but if Forest win the Europa League,and are relegated they could be competing in both the Champions League and Champiosnhip next season.
