Fair play to Wilder for calling out Lumley

I can't agree with your last comment. Why do the basic rules of decency change for a footballer? Because they play in front of a crowd or because they get paid a lot.
I'll say it again, those who think it's OK to publucly critisize a man doing his job want their anger and frustration addressed. They want someone to blame for making them angry. It has nothing to do with how you improve a player. Perhaps these are the people who need to get a grip.

Apples and oranges. Surely you appreciate the variation of dynamics and expectations on people in the variety of professions that exist?

Let's just get rid of criticism and reactionary fans ey, just sanitise the game. Don't be narked and express it if someone is poor at key aspects of their role, don't apply compliments if they're great. Or only do one but not the other?

It's professional football, not accountancy. What do you think goes on in high level sport? (driven by spectators I might add)
 
Too risky to start Sol, so much at stake, stick with Lumley, we have so far,not confident but neither am I on the other options.
Key decision for Friday's game, key decision for a play off place.
I'm nervous either way
 
Maybe we could play neither of our 3 keepers and play fly goalie using an extra outfield player. Lumley experimented with that concept at Peterborough when Paddy cleared off the line, they never scored and we got 4. What could possibly go wrong 😍

I didn't say any of that though, quite the opposite in fact. Nothing wrong with criticism. Plenty wrong with public criticism.

I wouldn't dream of dropping Brynn in to it now.

It might have been an idea when Lumley was making mistake after mistake in February, but it wouldn't be fair to put that pressure on Brynn now with what's at stake.

He might not be good enough to begin with, but I'd sooner find that out when there's plenty of games to make up for it.

As poor as he's been, I'd be going for Lumley till the end of the season.

If he makes no mistakes and we get in the play-offs, then great.
If he does make mistakes, then it just makes the decision to replace him in the summer easier.
 
In the 6 games he played as unenthusiastic as I was about him I don't recall Daniels directly being to blame for any goals we let in - the same can't be said for Lumley
I agree it's not the time to put Brynn in, but hopefully he can progress to back up for a new keeper next season
