These QPR fans were raving over Joe Lumley after his impressive assist against Cardiff on Wednesday.
After 20 Championship matches and 1800 minutes, Joe Lumley achieved a rare assist as a goalkeeper against the Welsh outfit. However, the 24-year-old has a rather poor WhoScored average rating of 6.04/10, but fans will likely remember his assist over the poor performances.
Here’s what the QPR fans had to say about Lumley’s assist against Cardiff on Wednesday, with his quick thinking appearing to win plaudits amongst some fans:

Was the Joe Lumley assist your favourite moment from the match?
Yes
No
QPR won the match on Wednesday 6-1, however, in a match full of highlights, Lumley’s assist is probably the best one, just down to the rarity alone. Some fans had mentioned how they loved his celebration, whilst it is clear many were pleased with his distribution.
Love @joelumley’s goal celebrations!

What Do We Think?
Obviously, Joe Lumley’s job is to stop goals going in, but if the 24-year-old wants to add assists to his game, then we are sure these QPR fans won’t mind. Lumley has kept two clean sheets in his last 10 Championship matches. Although that’s perhaps not entirely the keeper’s fault, it’s still an area the Superhoops and Lumley need to improve on if they are to perform better in England’s second tier.
