One cost us a goal and the other him a yellow card, poor judgement on both. Sure he saved a penalty but not impressed with him but would still take him over Guzan. Cost us a goal? Where did you expect him to be...rooted to his goal line? Fantastic save and almost kept the second shot out. Penalty save. Second half when vardy was through he came out and forced vardy wide. I had visions of vardy being brought down, penalty being given and a red card...then i realised it wasn't guzan. Utterly utterly stupid???....behave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy is running away from goal at an angle with a defender in pursuit and nothing much to aim at in the box, the only option open to him was the lob which Bunn invited. It was poor and needless positioning from him, I can't see how anyone can disagree with that.

I don't agree. When Vardy takes the shot Bunn is on the edge of his 6 yard box, albeit he's back pedalling slightly. Nothing wrong with that positioning, I'd go as far as to say it's textbook. I'd be angry if he was stucl on his line in that situation. It was just a very good lob. Edited January 17, 2016 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 As annoyed as I am with the defending/goalkeeping for that goal credit has to go to Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted January 17, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yep credit to Vardy , Bunn made the right decision for their goal. 90% of the time the lob wouldn't have happened. As for his yellow card , he made a decisive decision, it was wrong in hindsight bit at least he made a decision rather than be indecisive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I doubt there's much difference in ability between him and Guzan but Brad's complete lack of confidence is almost giving the oppo a goal head start. It's right that Bunn has got his chance and should be the man in possession from now on. I suspect a few errors will creep in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key will be whether he learns from them so that the same things don't happen again. He will have got some invaluable experience last night. Sure, one led to a goal but we hope his positioning improves the next time he's in that situation. A clean sheet the week before, a penalty save and so-far unbeaten in his 3 games must do wonders for his confidence too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Leicester goal - he was in the wrong place... Gave Vardy the chance to shoot, decent save. Lescott at fault for the rebound. Dwelled too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Having seen the goal again, I'm not sure why he was so far off his line, I don't think it was necessary, however for me, Lescott's 'reaction' more than overshadows Bunn's role. Although I think Bunn's positioning was poor, he at least made a very good recovery, whilst Lescott was standing still hands on hips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think Bunn's positioning was poor, he at least made a very good recovery, whilst Lescott was standing still hands on hips. It was poor positioning but a good recovery and a world class save. That would be the narrative if Lescott had kept his end of the bargain. I've been very happy with Bunn so far. He had nothing to do against Palace, but was heavily involved yesterday and certainly played his part in the result even if he was a little over-eager to come off his line at times. That foul on Vardy was mental and he could have walked for it, but he committed and saw it through at least. Couple of fantastic stops, commanded his area well, saved a penalty. Somebody mentioned the Vardy chance where he shepherded him out wide, that was a good piece of instinctual goalkeeping. He has a touch of the sweeper keepers about him. Guzan was so bad, I imagine Bunn is going to get a fairly easy ride for a while. I've no hard feelings toward Goose, but I hope never to see him in a Villa shirt again. I wonder what he's like at organising the defence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remains to be seen, but it's clear to me that Bunn is a much more confident presence at the back and it's rubbing off (somewhat) across the backline. I think our defenders lost complete confidence in Guzan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 17, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2016 It wasn't poor positioning. Edge of the 6 yard box in that situation is pretty much text book. It was a very good lob. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah I'm not really seeing his poor positioning. It was a great save from a brilliant effort. Full credit. He then followed it up with a pen save a few minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Do people really think that he should be on his goal line when the opposition are taking a goal kick? Every keeper comes out a bit more than normal when the other team have a goal kick incase they have a chance of sweeping up an over hit ball, the defenders are totally at fault for getting done straight from a goal kick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 So of we sign a new keeper in the transfer window, does he get the bench above Guzan? I think he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomaspg Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 any keeper, Bunn, Guzan or a new signing should be fighting for the spots. I wouldn't write off Guzan yet, there is a good keeper in there and he has shown that. But I can imagine that the last year or four has chipped away at his confidence, a bit of time to recover and he might find him self as good as he was before and then he should be able to compete for the spot. But so far Bunn has shown no reasons for us to let Guzan play, hopefully he keeps it up and we have a solid player for the rest of the year.

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 To be honest he hasn't really has much to do the last 2 games but has been fairly competent when called upon. I think the main problem with Guzan was that for every good save he made he would also let in a goal which was should be bread and butter for a keeper at this level. The first goal against Norwich and second against Sunderland are two that spring to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrim Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Overall I thought he was decent. Made a good initial save from the goal and one or two others too. But was very rash when he picked up the yellow and in the first half Vardy had a header that went just wide and Bunn was nowhere near it when he should have easily had his post covered.
