Thread | No leaders on the pitch
at 22:51 1 Feb 2020
Without Leistner or Cameron on the pitch today, their was nobody able to take control of the defence or midfield. The ball seemed to remain in our half during the first 45 mins - pass back sideways back sideways to no effect. So, City was able to block anything coming forward. Our usually inspired players Eze and BOS lacked pace and inspiration today. We improved after bringing subs on but never looked like scoring despite the chances created.
For me the only positive from today was Kelly's input. He was involved at crucial times helping his defence out. My neighbour kept saying 'Lumley would not have done that' as he spotted dangers and snuffed them out. This is going to be a tough end of season without a quality striker. Kelly is going to be a critical player from now on as goals look like they are going to be thin on the ground. Fingers crossed that we survive. |

Thread | Calamity Lumley
at 18:47 29 Dec 2019
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. |

Thread | The Lumley duck - Barnsley v Rs 14 December
at 12:24 15 Dec 2019
I have watched how the first two goals happened over and over again. For the first goal, the ball was kicked towards Lumley and after it was kicked he ducked down to avoid it, with his arms by his side. He could have at least raised his arms. For the second goal, the ball was kicked and after that he ducked down with his arms by his side. Again, if he'd raised his arms he might have stopped it going in. He brain does not seem to engage quick enough for a keeper. I do hope Kelly returns soon. |
