Why don't you read what I wrote instead of what you think I wrote? I never said Bavs was better or worse than anyone else, and I certainly couldn't compare him with Wilson because I have never seen Wilson play. Yes, Bavs has made silly mistakes - tell me a goalkeeper who hasn't. Joe Hart, David Seaman, Iker Casillas, even Lev Yashin. Sadly goalkeepers are too often judged on silly mistakes as Gary Sprake can testify. Forget this stuff about the goalkeeper dominating his box and such like. The goalkeeper's first priority is to prevent that ball going into the net. Before his injury last season, Bavs did exactly that superbly. I suggest you read those match reports once again. I'll say it again - simply and without suggesting any comparisons. Bavs does not deserve the bashing.
