Just saw this stat, we've conceded 6 goals from last 7 shots on target.
2 points here, firstly we have to learn to defend better (its not always just BPF's fault), but also we have to look at our conversion rate up top, for we could have double that amount of chances on goal and not score.
Tweak at both ends and we'll walk this league.
Interesting stat

For the life of me I cannot understand anyone having a go at Alioski. He is easily one of our best players. If his shot hits the bar that's an excellent opportunity for someone else. BPF is average and has been lucky to have such a solid defense in front of him but he does have that and I'm not sure that a new keeper is the number one priority. We need somebody to make things happen at the other end.

The keeper isn’t good enough, if anyone has seen a majority of our games this season I’d be amazed with a different opinion.
Not good on crosses and not a good shot stopper.
Let’s not forget that Bielsa himself said he would have been dropped if we had another option.
Imperative we sign someone in January.

Bielsa did t exactly say that, I felt he was saying it because impressed by Blackman in

People can spout this and that stat.
I go with my eyes
He’s a below average keeper who’s good on the ball.

A number one who’s performances please his manager doesn’t get dropped. Bielsa wanted to play a different keeper, we didn’t have one.
He will cost us points if he stays first choice.

What points has he cost us in last 8 games?

Zero!
Just watched the goals conceded yesterday again:
First goal scored by Hull - most fans player of the season, Kelvin Phillips, passes the ball from the edge of 6 yard area and it is intercepted by Bowen who smashes it past defenders in front of goal from 8 yards out.
How many here think Phillips should just blasted it out of the penalty area?
How many think any goalkeeper in the world could have saved that?
Second goal scored by Hull - Douglas left standing by Grosicky. Alioski instead of running behind Douglas to cover him, runs towards Grosicky and is a non factor.
BPF makes a save from point blank range (any credit there), anybody disputing that?
How many think any goalkeeper in the world could have saved the rebound?

Very naive and arrogant to ignore glaring issues, just because we’ve had an excellent run recently.
He could very easily have cost us the Blackburn game.
If we do not sign anyone in January, I have concerns over automatic promotion.

Non one is ignoring issues, but you say he'll cost us points yet he's cost us no points at all in last 8 games, so that claim does not really stand up.

“Naive and arrogant” to have a different opinion to yours?
Really?!?!
