New keeper. Now! 10:20 - Jan 7 with 8868 viewsoakskull

We cannot use Lumley in goal. Lumley might be a nice guy, but he is a bad keeper, and that's the trait that I'm paying to witness.

The Cardiff goal was a travesty. He saw the ball coming, all the way from 22 yards, and still couldn't manage to get his body behind the ball.

A steady string of basic mistakes, no depth perception and without any authority in the box. A serious contender in the CC must use a keeper that can be a matchwinner, not than a liability.

Is Kelly a better choise? He must be. Really.

Ah, I get it, you're happy with midtable mediocracy in the CC and the odd "famous" victory, while you get off on the league cup win in 1967 and the 4-1 against MU in 1992 Same as every year....

Must be, because with Lumley we'll not challenge for promotion. That takes a matchwinner in goal. Nobody can make the case with any degree of credebility that Lumley is a matchwinner. Smithies was a matchwinner, Lumley is not.

This is no secret. Everybody with a minimum understanding of football can see that. If you don't believe your own eyes, check the statistics.

Lumley has a save percentage of 0.570. Almost every second shot inside the posts is a goal. Only Grabara, Huddersfield, is marginally worse in the division.


"Smithies was a matchwinner"

Win percentages in his two full seasons with us of 32% and 27% suggest that a) he's not and b)you haven't really thought this through

'Lumley might be a nice guy, but he is a bad keeper' is not on his CV and won't be on his tombstone.

He's had a poor season by his own standards and to be fair a lamppost would stand more chance of saving a penalty, but people forget how many good saves Lumley can make and at 24 he will get better and he will learn.

Is Kelly a better keeper? Possibly. He is better with the ball at his feet. He makes good saves as we saw at the start of the Swansea game. If the ball is played over the top for a one on one against him his positioning is often way too advanced and tends to leave the goal exposed. He comes out too quickly which is unusual and at only just 6 feet tall, like Camp, if you are that far off your line or at the wrong angle the ball can go past or over the top of you.

Are either as good as Smithies? No. Is Smithies coming back. No. Are either good enough for this division? Mostly yes but both need to improve and probably will.

Is Barnes any good? Don't know but he's 23 and 6 foot 4+. Is Seny Dieng any good? He's 25 and 6 foot 4+ and has been here 3+ years, currently back out on loan. Hear good things about him but not seemingly ready for the no.1 spot here.


Barnes scored a bizarre own goal on Monday at Palaces training ground. But I'm not going to condemn him.

The Own goal is even worse than I thought.


And as I thought at the time, Charley Kendall's disallowed goal was a horrendous decision. Even Mark Bright commentating reckoned Palace ' stroke of luck with that one. Utter scandalous decision by the Lino who only raised his flag after the ball went in as a Palace fan shouted 'must be offside'.

Barnes made a worse mistake than anyone can imagine at Palace u23s on Monday.

Couple of things. The ref disallowed a perfectly good goal by Kendall. We should have another penalty in the dying moments. And that was from Mark Brights commentary.

You don’t get it, do you?

Smithies won us points, Lumley is losing us points.

Is this clear enough for you?

Its slightly concerning that every single one of your posts on this messageboard have been a dig at Lumley. That doesn't quite seem right to me....
