Bad Wolf

He was awful.

No. I agree, a couple of years in League One would do him the world of good. As stated, he quite clearly is crap right now.

Again, pulling back to his age, how many do at that age? Obviously with the exception of those who go onto be world class keepers. I don't think anyone thinks Bazunu is good enough right now...I just think that by the time he's retired, he'll be remembered as a good keeper. Not great but good. That's all.

Okay lol.

Not sure anyone's actually disputing that tbf

So what you're saying is that there isn't a single good save in there?

Have you ever seen a striker highlight reel? They always include tap ins and penalties!

You're honestly going to say that the defenders shouldn't have stopped that shot coming in?

And before anyone points out how some of the rebounds were put in, I remember Niemi doing that a lot but used to get credited with making the save anyway.

All "basic saves any keeper should be making" no doubt.

I was hoping someone would use this one as a go to. Of course it's COMPLETELY the keeper's fault and not at all down to the appalling defending in front of him. Obviously he should do better but you're seriously saying that's 100% Bazunu's fault and no one elses?

Yes if you ignore the saves he made as "Saves he should be expected to make" and include goals that literally no keeper in the world have stopped.

It'll be you moaning when he has his first good season and ditches us for a slightly bigger club. He was playing professional football for his country and was the best keeper in League One when he was 18-19. It isn't his fault he was thrown in at the deep end when he was clearly not ready. But there's very clearly huge talent there.

Nothing to suggest that about Bazunu. Do you know what age goalkeepers usually mature at?

Yeah maybe just a bit...

Play like that all season, we'll be alright.

Half a game into the season and we're turning on the manager who got us promoted? That's impressive even by our fans Karenish standards.

Absolute joke isn't it?

I don't condone it but he DOES go in to his head with his own head. That's a red card. Okay BBD made an absolute meal of it but if he hadn't the Newcastle player would have got away with it. Technically the correct decision.

Taters up Newcastle's arses but of course they are.

"Russell Martin was lucky to keep his job after 7 games last season" - If that's where we're at then the game has gone.

Bit stoppy starty for me. Anyone else?

Wood? Maybe. Edwards? Absolutely not. Trust me, as someone who's followed him a fair bit in the last few years (purely because he was great on FM) the boy has the potential to go to the top. We will not have him more than 2 years.

I can absolutely see the Defoe comparisons that people have been making.
