Bazunu classic

Oh Bazunu, no excuse.

Oh dear. It's all gone a bit Angus Gunn

So shit. So going down.

Let it go ffs

[OttawaSaint]

Wow. Soft soft header, catchable...goal...

[Chez]

Brighton look miles better than us. Miles

Oh dear Bazunu. 

[Archers Road Stand]

Always bottles it here according to the forum experts. 

Sports Republic out. 

[AlexLaw76]

He needs to be dropped ASAP.  

Angus Gunn Mk2, been obvious for a long time

[adrian lord]

Brighton have been a far classier outfit so far and I am not surprised that they have gone ahead. Terrible howler by Bazunu though. 

[Saint NL]

Awful keeping.

To stand any chance of staying up you can't be giving those away

[saintant]

Could get messy - giving them all the room in the world to pick their passes.

[OttawaSaint]

His heading if deft...his heading is light...Adam Lallana...makes Gavin look shite...

Incredibly, there are people here who think Bazunu has been fine.

We had the worst number one in the league over the last few seasons.

We still have. 

[StrangelyBrown]

Dogshit goalkeeping and dogshit defending from lyanco. Lyanco and Diallo having poor games so far.

[Bad Wolf]

Ralph really should have saved that

[Saint NL]

22% possession and a goalkeeper that can't save...  We are in deep shit let's be honest

[DT]

How do we turn decent keepers into white so regularly? It’s like we have a goalie shitemaker guru

[St Chalet]

That’s piss poor keeping. No excuse. 

[GDog07]

Oh, how I miss Fraser Forster.

Why we let him go to sit on a bench elsewhere rather than be our number one, well, looks like it’s going to be a contributing factor in our demise and seemingly incoming relegation with this garbage between the sticks.

One of our run of winnable games, at home, already looking like zero points.

[Chez]

Lyanco dives in, again, but got away with it again. He's a liability.

[SNSUN]

McCarthy has his flaws but surely we can't persist with Bazunu much longer...

[Bad Wolf]

Our "passionate and patient" fans showing their worth again...

[hypochondriac]

I know this is really early days but performances like this after having so long to work with the players is really worrying. I said with this manager it would either be an inspired appointment or a disaster. Concerning stuff.

It isn't "makes", he just "is".

[adrian lord]

This is appalling

He didn’t sit on the bench today, but I’m with you. How anyone thought McCarthy was anywhere near him is beyond me

[Sheaf Saint]

This is dreadful all round. A very typical Saints boxing day performance.

Brighton fully deserve their lead but dear God you can't be letting those in FFS.

Bazuna needs taking out of the firing line for a while.

His performances can't be doing anything for his, or team confidence.

[warwicksaint]

First time I’ve properly had a chance to watch us under Jones. Just glorified hoofball this is

[Maggie May]

We’ve actually gone backwards.

[hypochondriac]

With ABK fit Lyanco should be nowhere near the team. Frankly bizarre choice. 

[saintant]

This is dire. 

[Saint_clark]

F*ck off Bazunu. At what point does he get dropped? McCarthy was sh*t too but would actually make saves from time to time, Bazunu is punching the ball into his own net now. 

[DT]

Window now becomes players who might get us out of the Championship

[sydney_saint]

At this point it would be kinder for Bazanu if he was taken out of the team. He shouldn't even be in this position. No team should have been stupid enough to spend that much money on him and stick him straight into an EPL side. He's not good enough, but that isn't his fault. The club decided to go too cute. We should have signed an experienced keeper from Europe to guide our young team. 

 

[HKsaint]

Replace him with McCathy half time

[OttawaSaint]

Just as well Jones spent 40 days playing loads of friendly games to really guage his best XI, formationm tactics etc.

This.

Really worrying. It's not looking good.

Damn I need to walk a dog.........

Any chance of walking it down to St Mary,s ? It could probably get a game.

[adrian lord]

So far so bad from the new bloke.

[AlexLaw76]

If this is it, be amazed if Jones is our manager next season.

Fucking awful hoofball....

[badgerx16]

Do we even do marking and tracking any more ?

[LGTL]

Lyanco is a fucking idiot. No surprise Jones likes him though, he strikes as me one who loves ‘passion’. Don’t get me started on that skate Bazunu. 

This is awful. Heading one way and at this rate it’ll be in 20th.

He played earlier funnily enough and had a shocker!! Not disagreeing though, his form when he came back into the side was decent, not spectacular but far better than we’ve seen from Bazunu.

We’d be better off playing Caballero

 

 

[saintant]

Winning nothing all over the pitch.

[Saint Fan CaM]

On this showing so far we’re going down. We can’t match Brighton in any part of the pitch. Bazunu is a liability but will not be dropped because the club needs to sell him at a profit (lol - some hope of that!). I don’t even think a decent couple of players in January will save us. Looking like a poor Championship team. It’s so disappointing.
