Kind of a key point is that Trafford didnt snap his achilleas tendon in fairness!Originally Posted by Eirambler
Its really not that complicated!!!
To be fair to Trafford he was appalling in the Premier league absolutely horrific but he got himself together and had an excellent season last season in the championship. Last summer burnley fans absolutely wanted rid of him just like Southampton fans want Gav gone now. Gave basically needs to do the same this season and show the fans he is the man for the job
Ramsdale leaves Southampton for Newcastle to potentially free up the starting jersey for Bazunu, but only on loan. So, if Bazunu has a good season and Southampton gets promoted, there's still a chance Ramsdale could come back in for a fifth career relegation the following season.
Like losing, 4 husbands or 4 wives, getting relegated five times would start to look down-right careless !
Newcastle do have an option to buy, so he’d need to do badly enough that Newcastle don’t want to keep him, and well enough that he keeps Bazunu out.
Sadly it’s not as unlikely as it sounds
Let's not forget Bazunu has already been relegated three times and is four years younger...
He's unlikely to add to that total this year anyway. I don't see much point in worrying about future seasons now. He needs to have a good steady season to quiet any doubts over lingering effects of his injury. We'll know a lot more after three or four rounds of matches, and that division kicks off next week.
You can't spell failure without FAI
It's only two isn't it? Rochdale and Southampton. The second Southampton one he had no involvement in, was injured for the first half of the season and out on loan for the remainder.
Bazunu has had a very good pre-season and has made quite a few cracking good saves. There is also a bit of a vibe off him around him being more vocal and commanding in the area.
Fantastic one on one full.lenght save now stayed on his feet didn't rush out excellent
Outrageous free kick from.ryan Manning to equalise been very good since he came on
Manning Does excellently to set up.the winner now
It was a great save alright, one on one from close range and down low to his left, a save that he had no right to save really.
Super save in its own right and even more important was the context. 0-2 was game over but instead he made a key contribution to a home win. I feel he really needed a good start to the season with a new manager and some sceptical fans and it really couldn't have gone better for him. I hope it continues from here as there's pressure on him now to develop from "great keeper for his age" to established high level keeper.
Beaten by a free kick from at least 25 yards just there against Watford, and in truth he didn't even get close to it. Not like it was right in the corner either, his starting position was very poor.
I think the first was saveable too. Did the ball go over his hands rather than beyond them?
Think both Watford goals are great strikes more than what ifs for Bazunu. Of the two, the first is the more questionable given the angle the striker shoots from. And the free kick is curled into the top corner, no? The Liverpool goal from last night is more savable imo and don’t think there's an opinion that’s an error on Raya’s part.

I think rather than saying he was at fault, it's more a case of missed opportunities for making great saves. But his starting position did seem to invite the shot that resulted.
