Really? I have never seen a man walk so slowly to put the ball down for a goal kick and wander back at the pace of an arthritic snail before doing his little bit of running on the spot and then kicking it. He did it all match. I suppose you could say 'lack of any urgency' rather than 'timewasting' if you were generous!
Again, his whole point is that Wycombe were treating their goal kicks like we would treat a free kick. So yes, the goalkeeper takes his time to allow the outfield players to get into the most ideal positions. Imagine set piece routines like a corner situation, but they are being well drilled regarding how to best set up for a long ball forward from a goal kick.
