Match Day Thread Saints Vs Tom Brady’s Birrr-Ming-Ham (Formerly Wayne Rooney’s) Saturday 6th December 15:00

[Dell Boy]

Wrong keeper

Better than the alternative.

 

[Lovelocum]

Wrong keeper

Least worst option.

 

[tomw24]

Least worst option.

Not when we play it out from the back.

The benefits of bazs kicking don’t outweigh the goals conceded. Over a season Baz will concede more than McCarthy

Not enough to justify playing McCarthy with the style of football we play. It just wouldn't work. And lumping it forwards isn't the answer either. So I'd rather stick with Baz.

 

[TIL I Die]

From the Gor Blimey shop. Great big hobnail boots are also available.

Daisy Roots?

 

[StJabbo1]

Daisy Roots?

That's them, it's such a job to pull 'em up.

 

[Libby]

Presser today?

Presser today?

Tomorrow presumably.

 

[tomw24]

Good, Leo has clearly recovered.

I agree. Gavin Bazunu is a young keeper who is slowly getting better. With the best will in the world, Alex McCarthy isn’t.

Pretty sure someone posted stats for this season that show Bazunu has actually been better than McCarthy too.

The not606 unofficial rulebook states that we must debate who should play in goal, McCarthy or Bazunu, roughly every 2 weeks or until one of them makes a mistake, whichever comes sooner.

Have either of them ever gone 2 weeks without making a mistake? International break the only time

They were both faultless during June and July. Apart from summer tour matches

So until one of them makes a mistake then.

If Alex wasn't out of contract I'd be convinced that we'd still be having the discussion next season.

This is SR we're talking about. New contract and bumper pay rise incoming

It’s weird how about 3.5 weeks ago most were in agreement that McCarthy deserved the number 1 spot. 3 ok performances and suddenly Baz is our best keeper.

3.5 weeks ago we were playing ****. Now we're playing it out from the back with decent success playing McCarthy would be a complete disaster.

Even allowing for SR madness I can't see Alex getting a new deal tbh.

I do worry they'll give Baz one though.
