No idea what happened with the 3rd goal...from where I was standing Guzan seemed to fly through the air like some kind of demented lemming, a Leicester player got smashed and the ball rolled into the net.


I have since discovered from these pages that Guzan fu**ed up big time, Diddyman Dyer beat Guzan and two 6 feet plus CBs to the ball and that we need a new goalkeeper - desperately!!!
(I thought the last bit anyway)

Can Bunn be any worse?

Bunn was average against Notts County.

We would have scraped 1 point instead of losing all 3 today had Guzan been quicker and more committed in his challenge...or he could have stayed on his line and made a save. Instead he made a colossal fuck up of epic proportions that completed the capitulation.

Guzan has reverted to the keeper he was in the FA Cup tie against Blackburn a few seasons ago.  He was all over the place.   Even when he was doing well I never thought he was any more than ok, there were an awful lot of shots that I thought were stoppable that went past him. I've been advocating a new keeper fro at least a year, as he's become a full on liability in too many games.

We shouldn't have sold Given for this reason.  He would have been ready and willing to come in for a few games, and would have done a solid job.  Bunn is very unproven, and if you put him in and them drop him a few games later it will not help his confiderence.  If we still had Given then I would consider putting him in for awhile, but since we don't then Guzan is still our best goal keeper and deserves to be backed.

Clearly his growing list of cock ups are playing on his mind.  Fatal if your a keeper.  If I was an opposition manager, I'd be telling my players to put plenty of pressure on him.

Hard to judge Bunn on one game. One deflection, one penalty (his fault) and one fantastic strike.

I'm so annoyed with Guzan I'd chuck Bunn in, although what good that does in the long-term I'm not sure.

I guess we can only see if Bunn is up to it if we give him an extended go.

If Bunn is not up to it, then what is he doing here?

Guzan is not under anywhere near enough pressure for his place and his performances have declined.

I am coming to the conclusion that Guzan's two very good years were the exception, rather than the rule.  He was very shaky when he first came on the scene and seems to have reverted to type.

I started to go off him when he wanted to try and control the game from the back with the ball in hand or at his feet but failing to do so.  The last 12 months have seen the errors become more frequent.

I do not believe goalkeepers need pressure from the No. 2, as it is the one position where the player is very focused and self-disciplined, as can be seen by the number of keepers that play week in, week out.

The time has come to give Bunn a prolonged run in the team.  This is another position where the manager should be looking between now and the next window for a good experienced keeper.

I've always tried to give Guzan the benefit of doubt. I was a big fan of his. I felt he should get one more go here, as opposed to forking out a lot of money on a new keeper when we needed another forward and right back more urgently.
However he's been nightmarish this season. His mind isn't right and I'm not sure there's a way back for him now. We've got to be looking for a replacement in January.

Until then? Tough. I'd worry about throwing Bunn in for a long spell.

Steer's just gone out on loan.

Can Senderos take his spot in the 25 now?
