Lumley had some good games remember and made some good saves too. I am keeping my fingers crossed for Iversen, consistent reliable less gaff prone keeper and a far more saleable asset for the club in the future if needs be. Well let’s just wait and see what happens I would prefer Darlow but Iversen would be good too Considering he won player of the year for his club. Link to post Share on other sites

They were ***. My turn to sell you the dream, Darlow is a solid goalie and will be best we have had since Randolph and he will do very well if we sign him. Don’t write him off Akpom and Balogun were both exceptional at the level I regularly watched them play at. I thought they could step up to Championship level, I was wrong. Darlow is barely an upgrade on Lumley or Daniels, there's enough evidence to show that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

'facts tend to trump opinion' Well this is what Sky put together of the lad from 20/21: Don't get me wrong, not hailing him as fantastic because of this but these saves are also facts. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hahaha what an interesting take that is. They were good saves; he has an excellent spring off the ground that’s clear from them saves. People say there is more to goalkeeping than making saves of course there is, but we haven’t had a keeper for ages who can make saves. Darlow would be absolutely fine.

RiversideRed 1,216 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Be nice to have a keeper who puts some effort in when we give away a penalty. Randolph use to just give up as soon as we give one away. Made little to no effort to try and save one. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Also, that Norwich game was from 16/17 so for some more video evidence (and perhaps more proof that video evidence in such small pieces means nothing), here's some of his best saves from that season: Link to post Share on other sites

Youtube is a factual Library, those saves were made just like his gaffs, people tend not to roll them into one video though, mistakes cost points, Darlow causes chaos in the area. I said he was a good shot stopper, but we want more from a keeper than that. Darlow is known by the Toon side of the family as Fred, after Fred Karno’s Army. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 965 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Darlow is a solid keeper who has had some very good seasons in the prem and championship, certainly wouldn't be the worst option and he's a massive upgrade on Fumbley. My only worry is his distribution and ability on the ball, he's never really excelled at that. Like others have mentioned, if we could get Bazunu on loan I would be offering City a large loan fee to get him as he's genuinely quality and I'd be confident of us going up with him in goal. Iversen would also be an exceptional signing but I think we'd probably be priced out of him as I imagine they'll want around 5-6m. My choice would be Michael Cooper from Plymouth, quality goalkeeper who is only 22 and is solid with the ball at his feet and good distribution. Think he could be premier league standard in a few years so not only would he improve our team, he's also a very sellable asset in the future unlike Darlow. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Nope as I said in my first reply that good footage isn’t the be all and all either. I watch a lot of football and he’s more than good enough to get us out of the division. The biggest problem last season was n it having a good shot stopper, if we had Darlow I’m confident we would have enough points for a play off spot. You disagree that’s fine but don’t mock me with laughing reactions and a sarcastic tone. Link to post Share on other sites
