Made a big mistake against Stoke to cost us the win.

But then so did McNair and arguably Bola.

You still sticking loyally to Steffen despite his displays? Djiksteel is more reliable to date than Steffen for me like, I know AD is in your team btw.

Steffen did little wrong on Saturday, bar a wayward kick that eventually led to a shot on goal which he couldn't see and couldn't have stopped.
Personally don't blame him for that goal at all.

Roberts made a much bigger mistake against Barnsley in the cup, so it's not like his back-up has a blotless copybook.

Why just quote one game, what about the others?

Keeper mistakes always look worse, and the way we play will lead to more keeper/defender howlers than other teams I suppose.

We'll just have to get a bit more used to it I fear.

Dimi would look ***** playing out like this I'm sure, but looked like a worldie and unbelievably solid with Ayala, Gibson, Clayton and Grant shielding him every game.

As a fanbase we've moaned about not playing attacking, expansive football for years. Now we are we're going to be open and concede the odd soft/daft goal as we can't sign the calibre of players that the Champs league teams can (did you see Mendy against Leeds?). So I think it hasn't been great so far, once we're a bit more settled it'll get better, but purely on the way we play we will give these chances away over the season.

People roughly said that about Lumley…. Till they didn’t. Plenty of time for improvement though, lets hope the flapper does get better 👍

Because he's only been here for 5 games and has barely played in years and I think the calls to drop him already are daft.

He's made a handful of errors that haven't led to goals, and only one that did (which was arguably a foul on him).

I'm not convinced by him yet, he's looked shaky, but he needs to be given more of a chance than some are seemingly giving him right now.

Even Bettinelli got till January before people were calling for him to be dropped en masse.

There's no comparison, Lumely was at fault for 4 in one half last week, the other is a full international and on the books at Man City.

Everyone said Lumely would be a liability, dinosaur Warnock only required his keepers to be half competent and able to launch it 70-90 yards. He was always going to struggle in a Wilder side.

We desperately need a settled back three with a touch of balance and a nice mix of attributes. When that settles down I think we'll see an improvement.

How many goals are you putting down as 100% Steffen's fault?

He's the least of my worries to be honest, Lenihan has been worse, Howson has been pretty poor too, we desperately need some fight and aggression up front and at centre mid.
 
Who has called to drop him?

Several poster are on record as him being a superb signing though, hope you were not in that group. I am prepared to wait but i think the ending will be less than auspicious as things stand, fingers crossed he improves on crosses as so far he is an accident waiting to happen.

I disagree, quote me after a season and we can debate. By the way i was anti Lumley after 3 games. I was a keeper and know a good one when I see one.
