Saint_clark Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 20 minutes ago, Harry_SFC said: His long range passing is very accurate as well to be fair. I would say his all round passing ability is quite out of the ordinary for a keeper. Everything else not quite so much.. Very fair point, and his accuracy for passes over 40 yards is the highest in the league - still only 45% so every other pass doesn't hit it's target but proof that his long range passing is more accurate.

Sadly when this applies to a goalkeeper it is more costly. On Tuesday the whole team was "Off".....it was a bad team performance. Our problem today was nothing to do with Bazunu. It was due to the fact that we played everything too wide and our balls into the box always went to Milwall players.....we had no cutting edge up front. It improved once AA came on but there wasn't enough urgency when we were 2-1 down. Maybe he should have done better with the first goal, but there are others that I can point the finger at for todays, and Tuesday's defeats.

Tuesday, he pushed it back out into the penalty area, having made the save it needed to be pushed wider, didn't even think it was a particularly hard hit shot. Today, if he was coming for the ball, he should have made sure he got there. Not sure if he was trying to punch it or catch it. He obviously got put off by their player, who was more decisive and wanted it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galway saint Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 If you look at the huddersfield, hull and milwall games he was materially responsible for the first goal in each. ok we are not playing well as a team so it’s not all down to him at all and far from it, but you’re just making things a lot harder when your keeper isn’t doing his job and as somebody said above he is a very ordinary keeper. next year if we don’t go up we may be an ordinary team in this division so he will be a good fit for us but last year and this year we need/needed something better 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was Pompeys player of the season after they finished midtable. The money we spent means he should be the best keeper in this league, he isn't.

Whitey Grandad Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I’ve just seen the ‘highlights’. He comes and tries to catch the ball instead of punching it clear.

He's doing his best but he's constantly playing at a level that is above him. For every decent save he makes there's 2 of 3 howlers/shots that he really should be doing better with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Super Saint Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 We must be the unluckiest team in the world. The amount of goals we've conceded this season that 'no keeper is ever going to save is huge', especially from Championship level players. Maybe there is something we do that turns the opposition into world class players for a short while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) It’s very easy to see all our goals scored this season, but I would be fascinated to see those conceded and how many Bazunu is culpable for; and that includes defensive fuck ups that have put him under pressure.
