Never understood the hate he copped at QPR. Lumley's demise at LR was down to Warburton. Let's not forget that before we reach for the rose tints and start looking back at MW's glory days Setting the Beale fiasco to one side, all our recent managers, including MW and the current incumbent, have been old skool dogshit - albeit for different reasons. Let's have it right. Who's to blame for his failure at Middlesbrough and Reading? |

They still should have finished above us. From Boro to Southampton doesn't really seem like a failing career trajectory either. He isn't Lev Yashin but as long as his confidence isn't ripped to shreds by poor tactical thinking he'll do an OK job. |

Goalkeeper should be hard to beat and all your own and opposite players should know that. Lumley is quite the opposite. Every shot has a possibility to go in. |

Fair enough, but all GKs - even the top ones - have mistakes in them. Joe definitely does, he aint top class but when was the last time we had a really top class keeper? |

Dieng seasons 2020-21 and 21- 22 was top class IMO. No mistakes and plenty of important saves. Unfortunately African Cup and injury somewhat ruined spring 22. |
