Bazunu got a bit of stick for his performance last week against Hull, especially the opener, when he parried a header straight into an incoming attacker. Down at the bottom of the goalkeeper stats again already too.
McCarthy isn't a medium-term option of course - he's nearly 36 and has his own dodgy moments. Be interesting to see what Southampton do in terms of keeper. Their forum wasn't one bit upset with the change.
I don't see it working out for Bazunu at Southampton at this point. If he does come good, and there's no guarantee that he will, it will likely be at another club. Looks to be no more than a below average Championship keeper at this point in time, but it would be an awful step backwards for him if he has to drop down to League 1 again. He's already tried the continent and that didn't really work out either.
McCarthy had that awful error during the week for the liverpool goal so disappointing to see him replace gavin.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Another new manager at Southampton - the eighth since Bazunu joined, including caretaker managers. Bazunu restored to the starting line-up, but that may not last too long after another howler cost Southampton a goal. Seems he nearly blundered an equaliser too, and then conceded a corner for holding onto the ball too long. Southampton forum not remotely impressed, and if that's any way indicative of the general fan view, then he really needs a new break (as Eirambler suggested above)
Azaz came off the bench and got an assist, while Manning (who's been in and out of the starting line-up) started and nearly scored, so all very iffy for us there.
Stick Bazunu up front maybe. He looks good in the air from a corner
