Blayney/Henderson?

MM has chose Henderson in GK saying "We have to be loyal and fair"

Which is fair enough but IMHO Blayney is twice the GK Henderson will ever be. Or do you think that as Henderson is here longer its best to keep him playing (therefore more match practice and happier.)

Your views?

 

[Pigsy]

I'd say Blayney

 

[CHAPPERS]

Henderson all the way. Positioning, communication and distribution are all better than Blayneys.

 

[Minty Seagull]

IMHO Blayney is the best keeper we've had for donkeys years. Hes alot bigger than Henderson, hes great at one on one's and seems to pull off saves that should be goals.

 

[y2dave]

Henderson for me. He has great potential and his distribution and posistioning are spot on.

 

[fatboy]

Henderson

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Henderson for me.

 

[LDH]

Blayney for me..

 

[brighton2win]

mcghees choice is always fine by me

 

[Minty Seagull]

mcghees choice is always fine by me

Even if he put Tank in goal

 

[Marshy]

happy with either which is a good scenario

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Henderson. I think he's improved as he's got games under his belt and he's now looking a very good keeper. Added to that I didn't think Blayney was anything special againstCoventry.

Agreed, as well as Henderson has played this season, he hasn't quite reached the level of consistent excellence that Blayney showed when he was one of the key players that kept us up last season. But the reality is there is little to choose between them on current form.

I reckon there is a little more to this than meets the eye. McGhee's choice may be influenced by who he thinks is more likely to end up the long-term goalkeeper here.

We know Henderson is little regarded at Villa at they have already tried to transfer him out once to QPR. While Blayney is No3 at Saints, we also know that the Saints seem reluctant to release him for whatever reason, despite the strenuous efforts we made in offering a fee.

So it may well be part of McGhee's calculations to keep the more available keeper we have happy.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Henderson, for me. I liked his kicky legs.

MYSTERIOUS!

reminds me of the fracas at Gillingham when there was almost a punch-up over the relative merits of Rust and Omerod.

I think Blayney is the better all-round keeper, but Henderson has been getting better and better, so difficult to judge...

I also like the fact LI now recognises that I was right when I said Henderson was the more likely perm signing several weeks ago... he was arguing with me about that at the time...

Merits?... are you sure!?...

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Henderson - did nothing wrong the last couple of games, and certainly doesn't deserve to lose the place. Hard to say who's the better keeper overall, although I prefer Henderson's style. More like Ben Roberts

Was it a fight over which was more shite?
