Goalkeepers that have played for 'Boro, who were worse than Tom Glover

I'd say Bettinelli, people just forget how bad he was because he was replaced by the horror show that was Lumley.

You're probably correct.

He's also probably forgotten due to a lot of his games being played during Covid season and behind closed doors.
 
I can think of a few keepers who were probably not as good as Glover, but he should now be given a rest because his few errors are affecting the morale of his teammates.

Maybe we should also rest van den berg and clarke it was their mistakes which cost the goals. Theres no guarantee dieng would have saved that shot. Although he should start next game for his distribution alone
 
To be fair, I think Glover's done okay overall. Let's not forget many were singing his praises when he first came into the side, with some even suggesting that he was better than Dieng.

Over time he has shown his frailties, and I wouldn't be against him being sold in the summer, and Brynn being given the role of number two, but I don't think he's as bad as some are making out.

I agree with resting Clarke. He is not good enough.
 
Phil Kite. It was brief, but it was more than enough.

And there's loads more, Glover's not perfect but he's far from some of the chancers we've had over the years.
 
I think Glover has largely played well, but an error v Sunderland and a couple last night should signal Dieng's return, if he's fit enough of course.

He probably should have got to the first, but Clarke's clearance leading it to it was porr and Howson got turned inside out by the lad who scored.

What Glover was doing for the second is anyone's guess, it was almost comical.

For the second one, looks like he dived in anticipation of the first shot and couldn't get up/adjust for the deflection. I didn't consider it a keeper error at all.
 
Bettinelli / Lumley. They are recent horror stories.

To be fair pre Steffan we've have had a absolute mare in terms of finding a decent No1.

The 'worst' was the current England manager thinking it was a 'good idea' to have 2 awful keepers battle it out for the No1 shirt in Jones and Turnbull. What the f*ck was he thinking? They were both shocking. Yet gambled prem survival on one or both of them being good enough.
 
Letitinthenetti, Meijas and Lumley were all worse. There have also probably been dozens of worse keepers in recent years who didn't get the chance to show how bad the were e.g. Archer
