Sunderland's 3rd is about it.

And absolutely. The way he's been treated by our fans is nothing short of disgusting. That's not people who simply don't rate him - I mean the people who have made personal comments that if read, would possibly have a negative affect on someone's mental health. You just know it's the same people who were whinging about Tino "owing the club loyalty" or some shit.

He's been shown incredible support from fans at the games considering the level of his performances.

At games, maybe. But you don't think players read social media comments about themselves? And again, I'm not talking about simply "I don't think he's very good" I mean stuff like "That **** keeper starts again. Hope he gets injured so he doesn't play again"

I don't think Perraud was very good but I didn't go on social media wishing injuries etc on him.

Do you think Hull supporters would want to swap keepers? 

Expand  

I don't know any so can't ask but they probably would happily swap. Both keepers made decent saves yesterday but Gavin was a better sweeper than their goalie. Both teams played passing football but their keeper seemed rooted to his line and  didn't  make himself as available for the pass back.

They don’t play passing back like we do.

Let’s be honest he hasn’t done much wrong this season.

Last year there were big errors all round, including several from Baz.
Most of the them this season have come from in front the defence/tika taka screw ups leaving him exposed.

The first goal he had ready dived for it, it went through a crowd of legs and got a deflection, I think off Charles. The second was an unchallenged shot from six yards, which came from our own attack.

Anyone blaming Baz for those two goals is insane. It’s the team in front of him collapsing time after time.

You’re just deluded at this point mate, that or you just love arguing against the (obvious) consensus

Forster would have saved the second one, every day of the week. 
 

The bird commentating said “could Baz have done better for the first ”. How many times is that question asked?

Yes, that’s how you score a goal from an angle at close range. If he keeps his legs together there’s just loads of space either side of the, to tuck it past. He can’t grow an extra couple of legs, there is always going to be a space, which any decent striker will find. I know that sounds like witchcraft when you’ve been watching Che Adams for this long but trust me, it’s true.

Yep, the mark of a truly great keeper is whether or not he can nearly get his head on a last minute corner that then goes in via own goal. Consider me proven wrong.

His head is very similar to his hands, the ball skimmed off it. 
 

He caused confusion, which resulted in an OG. It was hardly Ron Davies territory and certainly not worthy of a blow job for lighthouse. God knows what he’ll want if Baz saves a penalty.

Yet he caused more panic in their defence when he got into their penalty area than our timid so called strikers. 

Sums up a lot wrong at SFC at both ends of the pitch.

He went up for a set piece and got his head on it, which clearly deflected it in off Evans. Christ, if a Saints fan can’t just enjoy a moment like that in the last minute of injury time, I can’t help you. I’ll take that over our outfield players spooning it into the car park any night.

If it deflected in, it’s Baz’s goal. It clearly wasn’t, but if it makes you feel vindicated that he’s a good keeper,  go ahead and enjoy the moment.

It won’t be too long before we’ll be discussing whether he should have done better with another goal at our end.

He made a good save ( perhaps his best for us?) but again he should be doing better with the first goal. He struggles with shots from outside the box at pace where he needs to get down to his left. See Sunderland and Middlesbrough. The second was more marginal but if you were being critical he should have been more advanced and narrowed the angle. Not sure why he turned away from the shot either.

Again he doesn’t make howlers and neither was but he doesn’t make enough saves for me. 

Did well at the end though but with a decent keeper tonight we steal three undeserved points.

They said at the beginning on the commentary he’s only had 5 or 6 clean sheets in 50 or so games ! The way we defend under Martin by the end of the season it will be nearer 5 or 6 in 80 or so games.

I enjoyed it, and was disappointed to see that it actually went in off Evans with little or no touch from Bazunu because how often is he going to get the chance to experience that.

He did seem slow in getting down for the first when viewed from behind the goal and the second goal was poor.

Watching it back and the first really is peak Bazunu

Not quite enough to be considered a howler but the majority of keepers probably just save it, nowhere near good enough and I’m truly fed up of him at this point

On pace to concede 85 goals this season.  

Expand  

Whereas 5 games ago we were "on pace" to concede 109, so a marked improvement. We had 3 bad games where we conceded far too many goals (including Norwich), but take those games out and we are basically conceding a little more than 1 per game. Last 5 games, 5 goals conceded, and even the 2 last night were with a scratch defence, when we have had a settled (competent) defence we have not been the sieve that everyone thinks we are (Bednarek/THB). I must admit last night I thought PNE were likely to go on and get 3 or 4 once they got back in it but it didn't happen.

Take out our 3 good games with our solitary clean sheet and 2 where we only conceded once and we are 'on pace' to concede 97.

The best angle to judge the first was from behind the goal.  As the ball is dropping, he takes a step to his right to get sight of the ball, leaving too much of the goal to his left, had he taken a step to his left and therefore being more central I think he saves it - deflection or not.

The 2nd was a good finish, sometimes they hit you sometimes they don't, could he have been more off his line to shut the angle?  Probably.

Exactly right & what is pointed out to his supporters over & over again. Even the bird on sky questioned whether he could have done better with the first. There’s a question mark on so many goals we concede but people hide behind the fact he doesn’t make many howlers. He’s played 50 times for us and I doubt there’s one opposing supporter in those 50 games who thought he had a really good game or wishes he was in nets for them. 
 

Even the one decent save he made yesterday came after his flappy superman impression from the preceding corner. Had he punched it properly, he wouldn’t have need to block it on the line.

Statistically he was the worst shot stopper in the PL last season, and he is currently managing to match that achievement in the Championship - once again he is statistically the worst in the league.

We have no hope of getting promoted if he is in goal. From the last few seasons, the highest number of goals any of the promoted teams conceded was in the low 40s. We're currently on 24 already. That's partly down to the style of play and giving the ball away in bad areas, allowing teams to counter on us with a numerical advantage due to so many players being in front of the ball, but it's also because the goalkeeper is a complete liability when it comes to keeping the ball out of his net. It can't carry on, but at this stage I have lost all faith in either the manager or the club to do anything about it
