Good point. I'm really worried when teams we're playing muck about with the ball up their own end of the pitch and do tricks with their eyes shut and that.

Nah, he’s not that bad. No where near. 13 clean sheets this season, concedes on average a goal a game..

Huddersfield, Luton, Blackburn, Coventry, QPR all conceded more than us.

We’ve scored the same as Blackburn, one behind Sheffield United and two behind Huddersfield.

We need to be better than Sheffield and Huddersfield.

Sounds like he’s defo starting on Friday!

I'm not sure what other teams concede matters that much does it? Maybe they don't defend very well. It's got to be the goals to shots ratio to judge the keeprs. I don't have that information of course.
The proportion of shots on target that pass him with ease seems pretty high.

I can't remember where the stats were from exactly but I think Bettinelli was in the bottom 2 for this in the division previously.

I don't think Lumley is particularly good either but he doesn't make as many mistakes as our forwards.

If want the new Higuita, put McGree in goal.

Top 10 keeper according to whoscored, top 5 when it comes to clean sheets.. that can soon turn around and work in his favour. We're up there in the mix with Huddersfield and Sheffield. We just need to dig down and find that extra bit of magic. Confidence from the strikers, composure from the keeper, something a bit special in midfield. Maybe McGree or Payero can bring it?

He's 10th out of a total of 12 keepers on that list, not sure where you've got that from.

There have been 59 goalkeepers that have played in the Championship this season.

Would you rather have Ørjan Nyland or Aynsley Pears (I didn't think it was a bad idea to sign Ørjan Nyland on a free.. but then I though signing a back up to Dael Fry and Isaiah Jones would have been neat also.
 
Lumley is 40th on the WhoScored list

If you're kind and limit that to keepers that have made 10 or more appearances, he's ranked 28th out of 35.
