10 outfielders playing their socks off again today. 1-0 up we are in control of the game. Lumley's limited brain function switched off yet again. Catches ball and brain decides to drop it. Second half ball comes across the goal, Lumley could have done something, anything - maybe even move, but no. He went into statue mode again. I keep scratching my head to try and remember a worse goalkeeper than this. Maybe Tony Roberts, but that's it. If we get decent money for Eze in January, we must use it to buy a half decent keeper. Team morale must be under serious pressure knowing that he will let at least two goals in every game. How do you motivate a team that knows that the guy in goal is useless. | | | |  |

It’s ironic all right. Apologies I thought you was being snide.
That Smithies money brought us a few players and renewed a few contracts, including Eze’s. | | | |

You know what gets me most is that I really like the guy. It's like one of us was dragged off the terracing one game in a crisis and given the gloves and told to get on with it. 3 years later he's still there, it's remarkable really. 99.5% of the time he's fine but the other 0.5% of the time he's been awful. Sunday's howler was just unacceptable. [Post edited 30 Dec 2019 21:26]

You're right, he seems to be a good guy and always acknowledges the fans and obviously cares. He's just got to cut out the horrendous errors which is easier said than done. No keeper is perfect (De Gea and Leno have made terrible errors recently) but not many consistently give goals away like Joe has been doing: I can't remember any QPR keeper doing it in the decades I've been going. | | | |

Agreed, I can not remember a keeper who has been at fault for do many goals in a season either.
I would honestly send him out on loan and give Kelly the number 1 shirt now. | |

Was thinking about that myself. I seem to remember David Seaman costing us with more than one or two howlers, particularly in cup matches. | | | |

FWIW I think Kelly has to start on the 1st and then Lumley gets a chance in the cup game. | | | |

Much as it's lovely that he seems like a nice guy, I'd rather have an 8rsehole who kept clean sheets. | |

There's no sympathy from me the bloke must be dropped.
As for his confidence being affected that is the job of his employer to deal with regardless of whether he's a 'good bloke' or not.
It's no good sitting in the ground expecting or waiting for another howler to happen.
People might not like it but yes this is a results business and his performances are way below what they should be and are costing us dear. | |

It's all about opinions but in the previous two games, Lumley did OK.
Missed sitters have just as much impact on the result as a goalkeeping gaffe which gifts the opposition a goal, but 'keepers always cop far more flak.
Perhaps we should have a "missed sitter watch"...
Anyway, here's hoping whoever is between the sticks for us in the next game stays focused and alert and gives us a rare clean sheet. | |

Thank God he wasn't dropped. Well played Joe | | | |

Are you his dad ?
Flapped at any early cross and should have saved the Cardiff goal , the team carried him today | |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I thought he was fouled when he went for that cross and thought he did well even to get his hand to the goal. He was the better goalie on the pitch.
Like i said earlier, if he hadn't made so many mistakes I don't think we'd be criticising him today. If you are expecting mistakes you are going to notice some.
One thing is for sure, getting on people's back for defending him is a bit mean spirited. | | | |

I’m all for encouragement but statements like “ thank god he played” sounds as if he was the new peter schemichael out there , he had nothing to do all day and again switches off for the goal | |

No not his dad...but imho he created bos goal with his quick throw out and if we had dropped him his confidence would have been shot. | | | |

His form for the last 12 months has been bad he has cost us points this season which could of put us in the top six , fair play his quick thinking set up the goal but again should of done better with the goal scored by them, | |

Team played very well against a very poor Cardiff side not taking that away but lumley is still the weak link of our side which is a bit concerning when he is the keeper | |

That Cardiff side has only lost once since NH took over. | | | |

It doesn’t in any way tarnish a great team performance for me and that kick out for the third goal was sublime.
But, let’s not pretend it wasn’t a bad error for the goal. If the game was 0-0 in the 91st minute he’d have been slaughtered for it. | | | |

Exactly. Rose tinted glasses with Joe I'm afraid.
Great win today though. Gutted I took the kids to the Hull game instead of this one 😣 | |

If they've looked good in every other game they have played with this manager, and looked bad today, it suggests that we were the ones making them look bad. | | | |
