Dropped two balls today and he was still excellent.
Our best goalie since Seaman?

Kenny is my favourite.
I rated him before he signed and was chuffed when he did.
We've had some good ones over the years. Even the 50 year old Paul Jones was pretty good. |
Ditto. Even when the opposition were through 1-on-1 I rated Kenny's chances. |  | | |

I think it says something about his talent that this is even a conversation we are having. Can you imagine the strange looks you'd have got if you had told someone this was even a conversation at the start of the season? |  | | |

Until the whack in the head at Villa I think Lumley would be comfortably holding down his place in the team. He always looked better than Seny in the academy side and was loved when he went out on loan. |  |

Do you seriously think that affected him that much Esox?
Genuine question. |  | | |

I know this question is not directed at me but a blow to the face can wreck a goalies reaction time and worse still his confident ability to claim crosses etc .JL is a tall keeper who should have no issues in the air but after that collision he seemed reluctant to come out and once the keeper stays rooted or backs up its a certain goal on a breakaway.
Dieng is brilliant controlling his box and a great reaction saver too its such a joy to see him play this well.
This gives the whole team a lift and of course the fans too .
Are we conceding less penalties btw or has it just evened out since we gave up so many last few years |  | | |

Same thing happened to Stuart Broad facing fast bowlers. Never really seemed to recover mentally |  |

We should not be surprised when Dieng makes a mistake. Fans should understand that goalkeepers do that. It does not suddenly make him a bad goalkeeper any more than Alisson's mistakes for Liverpool against Manchester City made him a bad keeper. |  | | |

Not a chance. He was an average young keeper beforehand and just hasn't developed as well as hoped and League 1 is about his level.
Cech had a far worse injury for Arsenal against Reading, hence started to wear the headgear.
Was just as good thereafter. |  | | |
| Dieng on 21:16 - Feb 11 with 2225 views | bakerloo8 |
Fair points regarding Lumley and the injury at Villa. Would agree he hasn't been the same since.
He was never as good as Dieng is now though, Seny better in literally every department. Anyone saying different is just being contrary imo. |  | | |

Briefly, yes I do. He was never the same after that other than occasional flashes. | |

How do you actually know it affected him, he was making several errors prior to the Villa game?
He is nowhere near as good as Dieng before or after the incident. | | | |

The thing that really impresses me about Seny is that I am no longer on the edge of my seat when he has the ball. He is just so much calmer.
Lumley always looked more edgy and rushed. Kelly, even though he has a reputation for being good with his feet, also showed the same nervousness tendencies. Liam's distribution was better overall, Joe's could be good but was much less consistent.
There is little doubt that we are playing out from the back less than we were and Seny makes good decisions and takes less risks. He has so far cleared very well with his feet. Very few kicks going astray or being skied. Dieng also benefits from having a better and more consistent presence in front of him. | | | |

He has made several superb saves over the past few weeks, which has undoubtedly helped us to continue this welcome run of results.
There is no doubt that he has the potential to play at a very high level. My fear is that as a result of Covid-19 that transfer values will be depressed for the foreseeable future. Selling clubs will be desperate to balance their books, while buyers don't have the same income streams that they used to.
When he is picked up by a bigger club, I hope we aren't forced to sell at an unreasonable price. |  | | |

He's had a few questionable moments of late.
Brentford goal (positioning).
Shane Long 1-on-1 (too slow off his line, though he recovered well to save anyway)
Surridge's header (too slow across).
I think that by his usual high standard he'll be disappointed with all three of them to varying degrees.
The great news is that he remained unaffected and quickly returned to his excellent standards. | |

I find that amazing. If a keeper saves in a 1 on 1 situation then he has made the right decision. Maybe being slow off his line allowed him to make the save. | | | |

I think the point is more that being slow off his line forced him to make the save, rather than allowed him. Initially I thought he could have come to get it as it was quite far ahead of Long, but it was a close call either way.
His positioning is one of, if not his best qualities though and I already back him to be making the right decisions there. |  |

Exactly that. I thought it was questionable - not definite - that he should have come and swept that. As I say, though, he recovered well to make the set-up save. Agree about his positioning. Really excellent.
The funny thing is that I didn't worry. I just thought "Dieng's got this". | |

Bakerloo and Gazza,
Ya, I'm being serious. And maybe being critical as well. But I also started this thread praising him as being possibly our best since Seaman. I think he's excellent. But I think those three moments deserve analysis, and that's something he'll be doing with Gavin Ward as he seeks to improve every day. | |

Personally think you're being hyper critical and looking for something that really isn't there.
Top keeper playing great. | | | |

Fair enough, opinions differ naturally. I'm a goalie coach and may sometimes be over-critical. I always look at every goal we concede over and over, just out of habit.
I also think he's a top keeper playing great. But no player ever plays a perfect game. | |

Not jumping on the disagree with 'Brian' bandwagon, I thought his timing for the Shane Long shot was positionally perfect. | | | |
