Against Cardiff it was, according to C1871, 'Super Joe Lumley in goal". One week on and he's the worst keeper since Virginia. Wonder what he'll be on Wednesday?

For whom?
Bouzanis didn't exactly fill me with confidence against Stevenage!

He should start on Weds as unless there is a clause in his contract, he cannot start on Saturday.

We have no goalkeeper we can trust currently.

We should loan an experience premier league goalkeeper.

Lumley is a confidence player and this could already be a fatal blow to any hopes he can perform to an adequate level this season.

If Lumley can't play on Saturday (Middlesbrough might insist he does!) then perhaps Bouzanis and the defence should start getting used to playing with each other on Wednesday.

Given it was one game and he has otherwise looked solid, yes. If yesterday is the level he puts out consistently, then no.


The ironic thing is, of course, these posters (or at least most of them), certainly wouldn’t be bumping this thread the other way around. People’s desires to look “right” are strange. Although finding it equally strange people going on about Southwood in a negative manner

Lumley will win us games and lose us games - I.e. the life of a goalkeeper

Bumping this thread? No, probably not. But they'd be praising good performances.

It's certainly tempting when you get a load of shit for expressing an evidence based concern that later seems founded to get the sstisfaction of pointing out you were wrong to be dismissed. Because you'll rarely get anyone volunteering that you called it right. It's not really about looking right but vindication.

Obviously still too early to say how Lumley will go. But early signs are pretty much in line with the boro feedback and lowlights reel.


Wouldn’t actually aim this at you specifically but just find it strange the number of people who stay quiet when a player they don’t like performs well but as soon as they put in a bad performance, they coincidentally crawl out of the woodwork again

Like myself with Meite - really didn’t think he was much use for us when he first came in but happy to admit he’s become an crucial part of the squad (that is, if he stops getting injured)

Yeah. I agree. If you want to go weirder, it's bringing up a player whenever they have a bad game at another club

I praised him too. And that's the problem.

GK is one position you just can't afford to have an inconsistent error-prone player in.

--------------

others certain comments



As for who's happy about being right etc, it's just distraction talk. The vast majority of fans who knock players/managers only do so because of genuine concerns but are almost always delighted to be proven wrong as it's nothing personal. Exceptions are eg when people really dislike someone's character for whatever reason but Lumley seems a decent honest likeable enough sort of chap.. Most of us would love him to have been a success, me included, and feel a bit sorry for the lad.

More frustrating to me is the opposite: i.e. when people stick by their positive first opinion of someone, dismissing all warnings, and just keep spouting the same even when facts prove otherwise.

"Hi, is this Premier League club. Yeah, you know that reserve keeper you have. The one you're paying £50k a week for and has enough experience to do a decent job in the PL should your top two get injured? Can we get him on loan and pay you 20% of his weekly salary?"

Van der Kwaak and Virginia are upset you've forgotten them. And Mannone, Howie, and half a dozen in the last years at Elm Park would like to be part of the conversation

Yep - was a fantastic save and just the sort of thing needed after Saturdays horror show

Although it was a rather weak punch from their corner before their strong penalty appeal IIRC - couldn’t see too well so could be wrong

Wasn't a punch, he went up to claim it and was knocked by the melee of players knocking the ball loose. One of those things that will happen occasionally, not really at fault.

That, along with the clean sheet will give him and the rest of the defenders a massive confidence boost.

Tried to catch the corner, but spilled it under pressure.
