Famous last words, he hasn't made a mistake yet so there's bound to be one soon and I hope I'm not pre-empting that, but thought he was worth his own thread...
Very nice to have a goalkeeper that doesn't terrify the life out of me again. Looking super confident and composed atm. Passes the ball better than some of our midfielders, good command of the area, and some amazing saves last few weeks.
Btw: Parksey was a legend in goal but unlucky for him (or was it my imagination) the few times he made a fumble - the cameras were there.
Good point about the cameras being there when he made a rare howler.
I refer the jury to Exhibit A m'lud.
Even though we had cup runs that season, unfortunately our league campaign pretty much never recovered from the moment when Parkesy threw their first in.
Missed the bit about multiple goalkeeping meltdowns did you?
We all have eyes and saw how Lumley played. Some of us were annoyed or sanguine about it, others acted like rabid head bangers and forced him off Social media and droned on and on long after his last game.
This post definitely shouldn't exist yet, it may well tempt fate.
So far he's been a joy. The calmest looking player in the history of the universe. I'm worried he'll fail a drugs test.
Also, each game so far there's been a point i think 'well sh!t, that's us 1-0 down', only to realise it's still 0-0, 'keeper saved it. I don't think a Rangers keeper stopped the first goal since Smithies left, no disrespect intended.
He does occasionally play our defenders into big trouble, could have cost us numerous times. Although, that's on the management.

You're all over the place again 🤣
So because a few planks on Twitter handed it out to Lumley, this means we cant make comparisons between our last 2 keepers? Mad.
I still think Lumley is good keeper. Anyone know how he did today for Doncaster?
Doncaster drew 1-1 with Sunderland. Sunderland goal was an Excocet from 20 yards, no keeper would have saved.

First win at Forest, circa 2018 pre-xmas, Lumley pulls off *that* save from a piledriver from 25 yards onto crossbar. Everyone, myself included, hails him as the answer to Smithies leaving - now on his second emergency loan of the season to the divison below
Dieng looks great dont get me wrong, but he's played all of 9/10 games for us? Patience (i.e. not hounding him at the first sight of blood) = virtue etc etc
Goalkeeper is one area our youth and scouting system have done pretty well in - post Smithies we've had two first team quality keepers who haven't cost any transfer outlay

Who are the next ones in line? How is that young Polish lad doing?

A touch of the Rob Greens about the first goal, although he does make a good save from the header from the corner just before the howler.
Possibly as there’s an underlying fear that one mistake from Dieng and Lumley will be back between those posts.
Ultimately it’s up to you, but I just don’t think it’s healthy or useful to keep whining about a player who was dropped ten games ago and doesn’t even play for our club any more, but I suppose if you absolutely must have a punchbag, which you clearly must, it might as well be someone who isn’t wearing our colours for a change.
I enjoy how comfortable he makes me feel when a high cross comes in as his handling is excellent which sadly I couldn't say for Joe Lumley. He will eventually make errors all goalkeepers do even Smithies had his one bad game at Ipswich and watching all seasons highlights shocked me how many howlers Stejskal made when in my mind he was a good solid citizen. Dieng though saves ones you would expect a keeper to make and has made a world class save at Blackburn . Here's a good way to judge how many other Championship keepers would you choose ahead of him maybe 2 or 3 tops
I thought it was notable in one of the pre season games where in the brief highlights package, they had a clip or two of Dieng coming to claim a relatively comfortable and straightforward cross. Nothing dramatic, completely unremarkable and a strange choice for a highlight. I think they've known this was a particular strength of his for a while and were highlighting it early. Not to mention tipping their hand that they thought this swap was going to happen at some point.
He made one superb claim of a cross tonight. Into traffic, heavy landing but held on. Great stuff, proper keeping.
That's the most memorable moment of the match for me. He did it s couple of times at least but the one where he had to go through a group of players was just brilliant. Not sure his one handed save needed to be quite so showy but what do I know!
I thought he got caught in no man's land for the first goal. Came, didn't get it and was too close to it to pull off a reaction save. Maybe he wouldn't have saved it either way but I think his positioning ended up being off.
Didn't affect him, though. Another hugely commanding performance in all. Couldn't be happier with him.

One handed saves always need to be showy.
"Breathtaking keeper" oppo manager to me after the game for similar.
Gives you a nice feeling.

I see what you mean about the first goal Brian. He gets caught out of position and off balance. It was a very well hit cross though and difficult to judge. You can tell when a modern football has been hit sweetly because it doesn't spin but somehow dips and bends viciously.

Yeah it was an excellent cross into the corridor of uncertainty, I didn't think there was too much Dieng could have done really.
Anticipating exponential growth in his ability. Who is Switzerland’s keeper?
Sat on the bench for Senegal in a friendly back in 2014, but didn't play. Does anyone know if that prevents him playing for anyone else internationally now?
