Sell our other goalies too. There must be some sort of keeper shortage and we're cornering the market.

Probably spoke to this new fella after the goal keeping display in Austria and against Borham Wood.
Can't see Lumley out of the door on loan, would only be for serious wedge (IMO).....ie £2m by current club valuations.

really stepped up today and whilst he didn't bust out any spectacular saves his distribution and positioning was spot on.
hopefully he can kick on a bit now and put the errors behind him

Assured, confident performance. Positioning was fantastic on occasions when he stopped 3-4 real raspers.
Very well played Joe.

Still needs to improve coming for the ball and being dominant in that aspect of his game. Loads balls go in where your thinking come collect and he sits on line

I don’t think so Coached not to challenge for balls that the CB's are coached to attack, with three CB's there are enough people to deal with any aerial threat. He obviously has a weakness in this area(slight build?) so maybe Gavin Ward has him doing something a little different? I watched the Leeds game yesterday and Casillas came for everything and missed a few, one of which could have been very embarrassing. It seems fairly clear to me that there are a number of fans on social media, not just this board, who don't like Joe in goal and are keen and quick to point out his failings. What I have seen of yesterday, he didn't put a foot wrong so now it's a case of having to invent a fault with him. For a team that cost 4/5ths of fuck all to assemble and are sitting 4th in the table it's difficult to imagine that there are people still looking for scapegoats because we aren't the perfect football team. So far this season we have had Scowen, Barbet and now Lumley getting dug out because some people feel they have to point out the worst player in the team rather than celebrate all the good football and results. |

Esox, for starters there isn't a chance in hell that our keeper is being coached to stay on his line rather than come for crosses inside his 6 yard box. You post a lot of sense on here, but to suggest that might be a tactic is pretty ridiculous.
Secondly, given some of the glaring errors we've made at the back and the fact we haven't kept a clean sheet yet in 15 games (including pre-season) under Warburton, are you surprised people are critiquing the goalie and defenders a bit?
I totally agree that there are lots of reasons to be happy as a QPR fan at the moment. Hugely over-achieving compared to what most fans expected. Done a great job to put together a fantastic team on a shoe string and playing great football. But fans will always talk about the good and the bad, and to be fair some of the defensive and goal keeping errors so far this season have been pretty bad.

Last season, and at the start of this season he was coming for, and flapping at balls in the 6/18 yard box. This definitely isn't one of his strong suits. Yesterday he started to come for a couple but stopped and went back to his line. He is by far not the best goalkeeper in this league but we can't afford one of those. All we can do is hope Gavin Ward can get the best out of Joe and hope it is going to be good enough. He came through the youth system and is our longest serving player. QPR means a lot to him so let's not poison him and undermine him eh? |

Dunno how 1 comment about him perhaps commanding his 6 yard box better is being construed as him being undermined Esox.
You need to develop some thicker skin mate.

A lot of praise has been heaped on the manager and the team but it is balanced to say Scowen doesn't always cut it, Barbet is a bit of a liability with penalties and Lumley should command his box. Just valid talking points. If everything was perfect we'd be Man City. |

lumley just needs to keep a clean sheet to boost his confidebce up again. last season he was noted more for his command of his area rather than his reflexes and kept 14 clean sheets in the league. BUT in his defence we are playing a much more risky and expansive style of play. i do rate lumley very highly and imo theres no reason why he can't play in the prem one day, hes just gotta iron out his mistakes and remain switched on as he has a vital role in our style of play

Got stop taking offence and over thinking Esox. I’m a Lumley supporter but if he does something wrong, like any player, then it’s topic of debate; same way as there is thread bigging up Dom Ball
He’s a keeper which means should be able to claim balls in six yard box and if that means taking everyone out doing it so be it. It he’s not competent catching ball or commanding his area then he needs to work on it or he may find he’s not in a position to even contemplate coming for the ball as he will be sat on bench.
Looks like we may be looking at another keeper so perhaps we’re not only ones concerned with this side of his game. You got upset about Scowen criticism but look what happened there in the end!!!
Accept forums will have discussions covering everything. Sometimes a less negative discussion is in fact a positive one

Have to agree. Unless I'm missing something fundamental, it's possible to be a QPR fan AND to offer constructive criticism. Otherwise what's the point of even having a discussion forum. We may as well as pack it in and all go home.

those who've seen him. Is Kelly the answer? Not for me. Awesome with the ball at his feet. I mean better than a lot of centre halves. Goalkeeping wise, not Championship level in my opinion. Although I base a lot of that on what I saw before he signed for us and pre-season. His performances in competitive games have neither been good nor bad. He's not done anything outstandingly good or bad. Polar opposite to Lumley, who looks equally capable of pulling off a world class save or tripping over the ball and giving a goal away. All said and done, I think Lumley is the better keeper. He just needs some work on certain aspects of his game. |
