If Bass had been in goal recently and committed the series of howlers that Bazunu has in recent games, I suspect he would have been roasted alive on this Board in the same way as Burgess was on previous incarnations of this Board.
Burgess was a solid if unspectacular performer but every mistake he made (and there weren’t that many) was micro-analysed and he was usually found to be the weakest link.
Despite a number of serious gaffs, Bazunu seems to have achieved near mythical status in a short period, probably being a Man City player has helped but he’s gone at the end of the season so Bass has to be very patient, he can use the time to develop a thick skin, he may well need it.
