Is Farke off?

Why does he continually appear low down or bottom of the goalkeeping stats against his peers? It can't be because he is a competent keeper. Yes, he might have bits of misfortune but why are his overall stats always so poor?

It's pretty damning and hard to argue when he keeps getting these poor stats.

You mean Tonda will be confirmed?

I wonder what is being discussed at the club regarding the manager situation. Discussions will obviously be going on and, at some stage, a decision has to be made. 4 wins on the bounce by Eckert has bought some time but today was a step backwards in terms of set up, tactics and in game management. We can't let this drag on too long - either appoint Eckert or bring in someone else but don't dither.

Just watched the first goal on highlights and for me it is a positional error that means he struggles to cut down the angles and gives the guy too much of a space to shoot into. I think Bazunu should be at least a yard further off his line and his starting position could be half a step to his right and that gives him a far better chance to make the save and also makes less of a target for the scorer. It's a common mistake he keeps making but others will have their own opinions.

Not sure which game you watched but there was no header through Manning's legs for their third goal.

Just saying how I saw it. I'm not sure his positioning in general is all that it should be and I think this major fault makes it very difficult for him to save shots - he just seems to leave large inviting gaps because he fails to get his angles right.

Source?

Agree - Aribo has done nothing each time he's been brought on.

Disagree. I think most competent keepers save that first one.

Stick him on gardening leave.

Just watched the highlights and the defending for their winning goal was horrific. Bodies have to be put on the line at that stage of a game but Manning was half hearted at best. Bazunu should do better with Millwall's first goal for me - a quality keeper does not let that in. The worldy from their centre back was just one of those things. Learn lessons, draw a line and move on to the next game.

Who'd buy him? I think if we want to sell him we're better off taking him out of the shop window.

We can't have nice things can we 🙂
