I really liked him too but I don't think that he was ever the same player after Mc Claren. I hope he gets back on track as he seemed like a decent lad who always gave 100%.
I think you are spot on about Ingram. There seems to be a huge desire within the club for Lumley to succeed. Certainly not a bad thing to instill confidence in your young players but at some point reality must come into play. I think we all wanted Lumley to be a top keeper and most of us are disgusted by his treatment by some so called fans. However he has not been up to scratch but for some reason has been treated more leiently than Ingram was. We now have a situation where our best keeper statistically has one year left on his contract and has never got his gloves dirty for us ! If his contract can be extended then surely he is worthy of a chance? The other two have hardly made the jersey their own.
I don't think it's a case of turning him into a villain as such but it is annoying when players like Hall and Jack Robinson spend a large proportion of their contracts out injured then skip out the door for more money when their contracts expire. As fans all we hear about is the constraints of FFP yet some players appear to have milked th club to an extent and it rankles with me. I suppose your right that it is indicative of how things are in football today but it doesn't make it any more palatable.
Am I the only one who's a little pissed off with Grant Hall? Yes he was a good player when he broke into the team initially and he did a decent job for us this year as captain. The issue I have is that he allegedly refused to sign a new contract, citing looking after his family as his number one priority. that is all well and good but has he forgotten that QPR looked after him and his family for the best part of 2 years when he was injured and had other issues. He obviously has a short memory and little or no loyalty and I for one would struggle to wish him well at boro.
