I've been on his back this season about his form (or lack of it) but he seemed to really have learned a couple of things from recent games...
The speed with which he came out to block shots was vastly different from the 'speed' that he came out to bloke Foden and he was a couple of inches from saving their first one.
The save low down to his right was what he was doing a few years back, consistently.
A keeper in form will transform your season- look at Sels for Forest last season- let's hope Leno keeps this up as a keeper saving more than he should will push us up the table.
I've been on his back this season and last. Has really been poor, and unless we see more improvement in his game, might be time for ownership/management to be looking for keeper upgrade for next season.
All that said, I gave him my motm vote for the Burnley game, even though two goals were conceded. Made some terrific stops and plays that saved this team three points. And saved some embarrassment to the back four defenders, who were awful, and nearly fluffed away this game and the attached three points.
I certainly don't think he has been poor.
he's not been poor - i would say hes average compared to the rest of the PL keepers. some are worse some are better. i don't like the fact he gets beaten alot by long range efforts.
Was also my MOTM against Burnley. I get why Wilson won it and he was also crucial to our win, but I have to say I'm surprised he won it so convincingly (particularly the vote on Fulham's website where he won 2/3 of the vote or something like that). Without Wilson, we might have won or drew that game, as our other attackers were on form too, without Leno, we would have lost that match.

Stats say differently - according to https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/leagues/47/stats/season/27110/players/_save_percentage he is 16/20 for Shots Saved %. Obviously the more shots you face the more likely you'll concede which is why two of the bottom three in this table play in teams that are in the bottom four of the table. Interestingly, Becker is second worst.

As an aside Leno, Bassey & Wilson are all in The Times Team Of The Week...not seen that before
Hopefully Leno has come out of he's lean spell and returns to the Keeper we know.
