    All the best keepers I ever played with were absolutely nuts…

    you can look at it either way I think. We should (and have generally so far) be giving up less chances per game, so do you go with the keeper who saves more (McCarthy) but will give away better chances because of his distribution, and these likely lead to goals most of the time no matter who is in goal.

    Or go with the guy who will give up less stupid distribution mistakes and hopefully aid in attacking to a degree as well with faster/better distribution, but will let in more of the limited shots he faces?

    I’m more in the Bazunu camp due to his age and potential improvement but am not overly fussed either way

    It is a fine balancing act. I also think we seem to concede so many ‘perfect’ shots it is unreal. No keeper would save the one yesterday, and I don’t see many keepers saving any of the ones Bazunu has let in. But right now McCarthy gets it for leadership, though I prefer what Bazunu offers over all.

    I was all for Bazunu too as he hasn't really done anything wrong in games to be dropped but we only see a couple of hours of the week so if WS felt the change was needed then it's needed and then it's down to McCarthy to keep hold of the spot (and he's not done a bad job so far has he?)

    Two good seasons in thirty-odd years.

    Won the Salisbury Sunday League Division Two title - and two teams were better than us on paper. So that was good.

    Won the Commerical Houses Minnows Cup Final, we knocked out the team that won our division without losing a game all season and I got man of the match in the final and I have it on video too.

    So better than Saints really? :emoticon-0102-bigsm
