Liability Lumley
at 01:31 12 Jan 2020

I'm always in two minds about criticising our players, but Joe Lumley has proved time and time again that, for whatever reason, he is not currently good enough for a Championship side. I've been a season ticket holder at the Rs for decades, and I don't remember a less reliable keeper. I'm sure the guy tries his best, but his best just isn't good enough. I'm not over-confident in Kelly either. It does my head in to see Dieng playing well for Doncaster and Smithies sitting on the bench at Cardiff while Alex McCarthy plays out of his skin in the Premiership! It's clear to me that the defence are all too well aware of Lumley's shortcomings, which is why they tend to make rash decisions. I've got no problem with our attack or midfield, but the defence is so fragile, largely because they are constantly put under pressure by having no faith in the keeper. We need a decent keeper asap. Until that happens we're never getting anywhere.
