There's no margin for error, and any error that he makes is scrutinized in forensic detail from 20 different angles. He can get away with making mistakes for us this week, because there's nobody to challenge him and apart from us, nobody cares what errors he costs us.   I don't think he's had a clean sheet yet, despite enjoying the benefits of playing week in week out. Honestly can't see him keeping his place much longer if that continues. As Travers has already found out.

Seems to be getting off lightly here in regards to what happened last night. He has a tendency to use his athleticism in his shot stopping rather than good positioning. It looks spectacular when it comes off but can lead to errors like yesterday. Instead of taking a step forward to face the shot, he’s on his heels again and is falling backwards trying to stop it.

Wasn't brilliant for the first and certainly should have saved the 2nd. He's young, I wouldn't worry overly.

Looking back today I actually think people are being a bit harsh on the 2nd he made a good stop initially and the defence didn't clear their lines and the second shot came in before he had a chance to set himself and react (should he have set himself quicker perhaps but I'm not a goalkeeper so I don't know, I'd imagine he'll review it with Kiely and probably back at his club too)

And the second was no where near the corner should have saved you can see from his reaction he is disgusted with the second.

I'd be critical enough of him for the first goal - there wasn't a huge amount of power on the initial shot he turned onto the post and he perhaps should have got a better hand to it (he could couldn't do anything about the follow up though).

Definitely at fault for the second goal.....he let a weak strike get underneath him, perhaps his worst moment in an Irish shirt.

Kelleher’s footwork when facing shots is much better. This makes his saves look more mundane but they’re more effective. Bazunu shouldn’t have been at full stretch for a shot that’s not heading into the corner of the net. Obviously, Bazunu is very young and will only get better but I don’t think we have once in a generation talent here unless he starts working on his positioning and footwork.
