No, he's not as good as Bazunu and whether he is better or worse than Bass is actually irrelevant, but I'd say Bass was about level at shot-stopping, but worse at gathering crosses and worse with his feet. And more importantly Bass did not want to be here.
Just judging him on performances so far I would say Griffiths has not been directly and solely at fault for any goals but has had several when you think maybe he could have done a bit better. But those are more than outnumbered by good saves he has made. A seven out of ten season so far, not brilliant but not deserving of the stick he is getting.
How he can get more stick than Morrison & Koroma for the first two Charlton goals is beyond me. I think he is an easy and lazy target for the knockers. And the unfair criticism is counter-productive - he is a young player who needs his confidence boosted not destroyed.
Bass did want to be here ffs, you still can’t get your head round this?!
Christ alive.
He didn't want to be here enough to fight for his place against a keeper he had every chance of ousting on form because unlike last season there was not much between the two contenders. I wouldn't go so far as to say he threw the toys out of the pram for not being made first choice because that was not his character, but it did look like he felt he ought to have been and was only prepared to stay if he was.
The extra money from Sunderland must have been a big draw so who can blame him for going, but he could have stayed - it was his choice to go. I was a bit disappointed in him for making that decision rather than deciding to prove DC wrong. And it looks like lots on here were wishing he hadn't gone too and that is unfairly being used as a stick to beat Griffiths with.
There was no fight available, he wasn’t going to get played no matter what. He was 4th choice, totally unwanted. He would not of got a game.
Not in cowleys plans.
