Baxter is the better keeper. The difference between the two lads isn't as wide as some would think. For me, the difference is that NB will get better. He's still a young lad and MI is probably as good as he'll ever be. We have to look to the future even if it means we are just developing him for someone else.
 
Don’t think Baxter was much at fault for the second goal (or any of the goals). What’s he supposed to do when he’s got a ****ing idiot like Figueiredo in front of him who can’t clear his lines properly?

That being said, Ingram or Baxter aren’t the issue and both of them have saved us from rugby scores. Yesterday could’ve easily been 6 or 7 to Swansea and Ingram’s saves have won us points. The issue is clearly a leaky defence and repeat individual school boy errors by Figueiredo as well as a weak midfield that doesn’t do any work off the ball. It’s going to be a long and frustrating season.

TF turned away from Baxter (who we are assuming gave a shout for the ball). Nothing that Baxter could do about that. World class save in first half which frankly very few keepers would have made. Some wouldn't even have seen the strike he touched on to the bar.

Baxter as far as I could see did nothing wrong, he seemed to call which seemed to have put Figgy in 2 minds what to do, and in the end, made a hash of it. The way he went down seemed to be an act to say I was caught on the foot but he made a real mess of it. It reminded me of a keeper we had on loan I think it was against Sheff Wed who made a hash of a save then tried to fane injury to give a reason for his mistake.

Plus both have probably lost total confidence in their defence. If Baxter was at fault in any way for the second goal, it was that he rushed out too quickly? If so, probably desperately trying to cover a defender hopelessly out of form and so uncertain in decision making.

Myth. He really didn't.

That's a good point. The look on his face said it all, after the second one. Felt sorry for the lad because it was inevitable that he'd get the blame from certain quarters.

He did... I remember it clearly. Truth be told I never warmed up to the Jak like others did after that game. Just couldn't bring myself to like him on that level after seeing that performance.

I was sat right in line with it - his antics after he dropped the ball were truly embarrassing, he made a genuine mistake and should have just got on with it.

That was my recollection of it. A Wednesday fan who goes in my local had a field day with it.
