New keeper. Now! 10:20 - Jan 7 with 5976 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.

Is anybody on here a psychologist? I'm seriously interested in why anybody would join up to a message board like this and post something that is such a feeble attempt at winding the locals up. What enjoyment or satisfaction does that person gain? Or is it just boredom?

In my case it was a deep-seated fear of sexual inadequacy. And spiders.

Don't think he's fussed on the cheese, but fond of sour grapes.

The Cardiff goal was hardly a travesty, hit with pace from distance, he probably should have stopped it but hey ho lets ignore his assist and other fine saves.

I think it's far to say that on all the evidence so far Kelly is a better keeper than Lumley.

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.

I thought the Swansea 'keeper was quite eccentric on Sunday.

'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.

Never knowingly right.

I bet this new poster also thinks that R'SWiPe was merely a misunderstood genius, and he can produce statistics to prove that R'SWiPe was not a lazy, money orientated cretin with a can't be arsed attitude to the R's - but someone that the club failed to support.

Why does it feel like R'SWiPe is still on the books? Yer Couldn't Make It Up.Well Done Me!

Part of the problem with this thread is that this conversation has already been covered, mostly at least a week ago if not long before.

Have a look through threads first to see if any given topic has already been discussed/is being discussed and join that one.

No need to start a new one that's already out of date.

Only commenting on issues that have not been raised in this forum before, would certainly focus the mind. However, there is nothing that hurts the team and bugs me more than a keeper who can't deliver. I'll move on when he has changed his ways, or been changed for somebody else.

With a good keeper this QPR-team is a play off-contender.
