How many points has Lumley cost us

Players make mistakes, but you hope players do impressive things too.
I can not remember anything impressive that Joe Lumley has done for us. The best match he has played was against us.

If your at the game you see the whole picture. At QPR we played them off the park and got a point, why.... because when called upon Marshall pulled off some great saves and kept them in the game. We all know what happened after getting back in the game but **** up aside the defence was sound. How tall is JL ? To me he seems to have a fundamental flaw in anticipating shots, he seems flat footed, the Chair goal was a good shot around some players but for a keeper of his size he never got close.
Same again yesterday, no chance with the first even if he had anticipated the near post it was well struck but the second, I had seen trees come down quicker the day before. Yes you can blame the defence for letting the City guy run
across the box but it wasn't a good strike, it bobbled on the way but he never got close to stopping it.
The Bristol defence were not great and yes you can be critical of our attack but we did create and make some great chances but when called upon Bentley looked sound, got his angles right and kept us out, like Marshall not a world beater just a solid Champo keeper.
Problem is we don't have a solution and it could cost us (may have done already). Unlike the keeper situation we do have some options up front and I think we will come good. The stats from these two games tell the story, we can dominate in away games now, we have a good defence, we are creating chances, but having confidence in the keeper is key to success, so come on Joe sort it out, we want you to succeed.

Lucky we aren’t adding another three to the list from tonight’s show. How the club prioritised 40k on a 4th striker before bringing in a championship standard keeper is beyond me

Eh? Very lucky DIjksteel was there to save his blushes when he came steaming out and ran straight under the ball. Wasn't his only obvious error either.

Apart from getting frustration out of your system I agree with the comment that continued moaning isn’t productive. What’s that value in prolonging the thread. He’s poor. Yes we get it. He’s the best we have got though and that’s not a lie.

Yes but just don’t see why we continue this debate after a win and a game where he didn’t make any obvious errors? We all know he won’t be our keeper next season but he’s here for the rest of the season.

He came out to clear and completely missed the ball which should have resulted in a goal
