Joe Lumley deserves some respect

Did really well last night. Best I’ve seen him, hopefully he’ll continue to improve.
 
To be fair a scarecrow pinched from a farmer's field and planted in the 6 yard box would have been an upgrade on Betinelli.

However, agree with all the posts, he's doing well, he likes a punch, but he's decisive and gets distance on them.
Bettinelli has just made a diving attempt to stop a goal..unfortunately it was trying to save a shot from Wycombe last May.
 
I'm warming to him. It was good to see several players congratulate him following the save from McGoldrick.

same, just wish he’d try and catch the ball abit more as often his punches put us back under pressure as they don’t clear the area but other than that I don’t have any complaints.

I remember saying the same about Jim Platt............... how wrong was I :cool:
 
He’s been criticised a lot mainly on this board despite being fairly solid with our poor defending, but for me he commands the box, isn’t afraid to come out and collect the ball or punch it away, made some great saves today especially the long range one. And he knows when to waste time and slow the pace of the game down when we need to. The fans in the ground clearly rate him as he has his own song now, not many Boro keepers have had that in recent years.

Keep it up Joe 👏🏻
I don't get the hate for him from some quarters, he's done well for us
 
3 goals conceeded in the last 4 games.

One of the Blackpool ones was a complete error by Hall and the Reading one was a complete mis hit by their player.
 
He’s young for a keeper so Hel only get better . When we start scoring more Hel probably have less to do in those games aswell .
