If Forster had conceded that, the notion of it being totally the keeper's fault would be laughed off.

Expand  

Forster isn't playing. Bazunu is, and that was f**king woeful. Stop being silly.

[sydney_saint]

Let's be honest. It may not be a 'howler' but most keepers in the league are saving it. Bazunu has incredibly weak wrists, which he has shown all season. It's not good enough to be a decent keeper in this league, you need to be an exceptional level.

Honestly, I know it's the done thing to slate Bazunu on here but he had no chance with Janny fucking B standing right on front of him and making no effort whatsoever to step out and block the shot.

Expand  

No chance? the ball literally went through his hand...it was right at him...goalies are supposed to save those, you know

Nonsense. The CB has to be in position to defend what's in front of him. The keepers job is to position himself behind the CB. That goal was not on Bednarek.

🤣🤣 So Bednerak's job is to just stand there???

Awful by everyone involved but a special mention to Diallo for being a complete waste of space during their goal. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Bednarek should make more of an effort to defend the ball. Bazunu should still save it.

They're both shit, it's not that difficult.

[Archers Road Stand]

Mara was such a waste of money. £13m wasn't it? Awful footballer.

spot on. He doesn't have the reflexes to stop a trickled back pass. Well said.

And we had Martin Semmens PR spin saying Selles was world class. 😂

 

Fluke win vs Chelsea gets him a full time gig. We were shite vs Sheff Wednesday under him and we've been absolutely abysmal today.

In a nutshell!

At least Selles is a bit more presentable in press conferences. Even if the results and performances are the same.

It would have been nice to see us even try to get back into this. Not a thing. >sigh<

[Saint NL]

Leeds are shit, but somehow still a much better team than Saints.

 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Looks like its all about who comes down with us now. 

[LGTL]

People defending Bazunu 😂 PL goalkeepers are meant to stop that you know, you don’t have to be conditioned into thinking it’s the norm just because our goalkeepers have been shite for 5 years.

[Convict Colony]

Whilst we are all arguing whose at fault for the goal, I would actually say its Mara and AMN for letting the player get the ball through from the corner flag

[OttawaSaint]

God our players are thick. Tempt a foul there and let JWP do his thing. 

[Southner]

Ruben, Selles to the Championship. 

[Saint_clark]

Why are our centrebacks so completely useless at attacking set pieces?

[Archers Road Stand]

ABK. Another overrated signing we made. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

actually, decent corner...

Apart from the fact he let it roll across his feet without attempting to kick the fucking ball whilst totally blocking his keepers view. Definitely not his fault!!

Expand  

Bazunu overshoots the ball almost predicting a tip from Bednarek trying for the ball.  Only, Bednarek dodges the ball skillfully.

[RedArmy]

I haven’t got a problem with Selles but I’ve got a massive problem with the players that looked like they were all playing for him last week and left it all on the pitch. 
 

You are a disgrace to the shirt. 

[obelisk]

Free header six yards out. Missed.

Expand  

Wtf are you on about? Your point was that Baz wasn't at fault cos Bednarek positioned in front of him. Whether Bednarek could have closed the man down is a different issue to Baz standing unsighted - if he can't see, it's his job to move - not complicated mate. 

[Crab Lungs]

I’ve watched it back. Bazunu should save that but my word, Bednarek, what a trash footballer.

just stood there, turning his back and blocking the goalkeepers view. Utter utter tripe. Amateurish.

Corrected it for you.

Should say why is this team completely fucking useless 

[OttawaSaint]

Has Messlier actually had to save anything? 

Woeful we can't even lay a glove on a team that's won 2 in 20. Pathetic losers.

[Edmonton Saint]

It’s ok Bednarek is up front now , whilst our 6ft 7 target man is in the bath. Madness.

Correct. We have too many shite players in our team to expect to stay up.

5 years?! I'm not sure we've had a keeper who's anything more than average since promotion.

It isn't Bazunu's fault that he shouldn't be playing. He is not good enough, currently, for the PL, but still gets selected, and isn't helped by playing behind our defence.

[Saint NL]

This has been a complete disaster.

No positives at all. Even Selles has been poor.

 

A front three of Walcott, Mara and Armstrong to chase the game. Awful.

That's the Bednarek turn. Much more effective than the Cruyff turn, results in a goal every time...

[obelisk]

Imagine this lot having to win on the last day to stay up. We'll likely be down long before that at this rate.

[Archers Road Stand]

Oh look, another team having such an easy time keeping the lead inside stoppage time against us. We'd be all over the place if we were winning. 

Really hope the atmosphere turns toxic towards these players when they give us another home defeat next weekend.

[Tauro]

I think we have certainly got a couple of things wrong. We were in control of the game until the subs. JWP moving up the pitch has moved him out of the game and the big laf up top should have stayed on. 

 

Elyounoussi is still fucking crap. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Wow! Leeds can;t even play it into the corner. We force tehm into the box to create something. That's an interesting tactic to regain possession. 🙂
