Joe Lumley

The goalkeeper is one of two just really bad Reading goalkeepers that came through in a two-year period.

If he's not Joe Lumley, he is...

Does this help you? No.

Amadou Mbengue smashed a goal in.

No, it's not

Joe Lumley.

It's the other guy who...

One time Amadou Mbengue smashed an own goal in off this goalkeeper's

You know, again, pulled off some good saves, important stops against Cambridge.

And we've seen that in the other matches he's played since he stepped in for Joe Lumley.

And I would say he's been a positive.

And right now, if you actually look at the summer recruitment Wednesday done, you could make an argument that the goalkeeping department and what we've seen with the three goalkeepers, they're the ones who've consistently delivered so far

And I suppose actually on injury updates, that's where there is a bit of positive news for Wednesday, looking ahead to Blackpool, that Deshaun Bernard and Ricardo Santos are two players that I don't think are too far away from returning.

Sils Finkels was back on the bench against Cambridge.

Joe Lumley must be near.

So in fact, actually Wednesday...

You've got Charlie Austin.

You've got Leon Best, Stephen Colker, Peter Crouch, Mark Dennis, Ian Dowie, Ronnie Edwards, as we've mentioned, Paul Jones, Sammy Lee, Joe Lumley, Ryan Manning, Alex McCarthy.

You've got Jason Puncher, Nigel Kwasi, Peter Reid, Neil Ruddock.

Chris Woods yeah quite a lot of players there that represented both clubs if there's any more let me know famous fans I've got two written down what you got

What's his name? He went to Wednesday.

Joe Lumley.

Joe Lumley.

There we go.

I mean, he was so much worse than Vitek.

I think for different reasons this year, perhaps there may be some level of rotation within the goalkeeping department.

Because we've now seen Conal Truman, we've seen Ashley Maynard-Brewer and we've seen Joe Lumley.

And none of them have...

Joe Lumley, I would suggest, is your number one.

But aside from that, it's not a big gap, is it, between the others who we've seen in the performances from them? Which is, for my money, is a really good thing.

Yeah, I mean, I know we're talking about goalkeepers here, but I think it's the first time that we've had, for a long, long time, a decent squad and not a massive drop-off.

Sheffield Wednesday obviously had Maynard Brewer making his debut for his league debut, that is.

Joe Lumley, rib injury assessed over the coming days.

If that...

It is rough.

Th- th- the, the movement from Huddersfield was so good and it just looked like they were gonna score or they were gonna get a chance.

And then when it gets cut across the, the goal, you just think, "Well, that's, that's, you know, that's 1-0." To, to get to that, I mean, obviously Joe Lumley is a humongous man.

You know, his f- [chuckles] his frame is, is, is a big one.

Um, but even at his height, to get to that and to get the, the, the height right, the timing right, to get everything right was just so, so impressive.

But, uh, if, if that goes in at that time, I think it's, it's probably curtains.

Joe Taylor has to score.

Taking absolutely nothing away from Joe Lumley, but, uh, yeah, it was a remarkable save.

Uh, and then controversially in some people's eyes, I don't really see it that way, wasn't physically there in the stadium, but, um, with the penalty at the end, the officials got to the right decision.

Uh, despite having 61% of the ball, Sheffield Wednesday didn't have a single shot.

Um, I would say that Joe Lumley made one phenomenal save-

Oof

... from, from Joe Taylor-

Stockport missed two golden chances.

Yesterday, it should've been done and dusted at half time, and what you did the pre-match with the, uh, Huddersfield Town fan who had said, "Yeah, we're, we're just not clinical." And I remember thinking at half time, "No," [chuckles] 'cause there's no way that Joe Lumley should've been able to make such an outstanding save.

Um, and even up until the, what was the goal go in, on the 84th minute or the 87th minute, whenever it was-

87th minute, yeah.

"You're stood five yards from where you should be.

Why?" That's not just Rhule, 'cause remember the attacking coach was Henrik at the time.

This means that if I was looking at yesterday, I think the biggest telltale sign of this is when Joe Lumley took a goal kick.

We are spread the full width of a pitch here when we take a goal kick, and when a center half has the ball, we are spread the full width of a pitch.
