Wasn't Bazunu's saves to shots ratio the worst in the Premier League last season? How is it in the Championship? It seems like we need at least 10 shots to score whereas the opposition only need 2. |  |

He’s last again and his kicking has become suspect lately. The 18 year old in goal for sheff we’d looked decent |  |

not that much wrong with the defence,the keeper is the problem constantly loading pressure on players with iffy passes even when the game is won at 2-0,if we had sensible keeper we would be walking this league,his decision making has been suspect all season |  | | |

Not sure you can lay the blame fully at Baz’s door, the defence kept passing the blo*dy ball back to him with this tippy tippy play it out from the back c*ap when a lot of the time they had the ability to play it long in behind their defence. I am afraid that when we were being put under pressure our illustrious manager RM did nothing to help. When we did get the ball up front quickly lo and behold we scored 2 well worked goals by someone who knows how to put the thing in the net. |  |

Rotherham's keeper would be worth a punt in the summer. |  |

He’s been instructed to play that way, not his fault. |  |

Don’t really agree with any of the above. RM.has tweaked the system in response to injuries and probably to get more goals. Most teams do not commit many forward as against us so we rarely need four at the back. He plays 3 CBs and pushes 1 high. That is usually Jack S who unfortunately is not John Stones. It means when we lose the ball nobody really knows where they should be. IMO we need to go back to a classic back four.
Like most possession based teams he also tells the FBs to tuck in securing the middle and inviting oppo to go wide. Most of the goals we concede are from players cutting in and shooting or cutbacks from wide to a player coming late to the box. To counter that defence and midfield need to close down much quicker. Baz is not perfect but his distribution is generally very good and I doubt any of the other keepers mentioned would do any better in our system | | | |

Kicking? He hardly ever kicks it more than 5 yards with our style of play   |  | | |

maybe so but he has to show common sense,his main job is not to concede goals | | | |

It is an average to good Championship defence at best. |  |
