michel kuipers today

[dingle]

outstanding, kept us in the game for the entire second half during a lacklusture second 45, full credit for the win!

we did not look like scoring other than through an own goal

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

1 great save, some good claming of crosses, some shocking kicking.

Yeh, he played well, but 'outstanding' is a bit of an overreaction i think

do you think we would have won with henderson in goal?

yeh, i do actually. Kuipers was only really tested about once.

i saw henderson drop a ball through his legs and into the net during the warm up, not to mention his recent performances that leave a lot to be desired, his handling is shocking!

The kicking has always been his weakness. If everything else is spot on why not just get one of the other 10 to take goalkicks? I mean its not 'traditional' but if it works; why not? The only problem I can see is that it immediately plays opposition forwards onside.

...and lucky over the "handling" outside the area?

Did he release the ball in time ?

The radio described that as brilliant thinking apparently.

He was nearly in the seats when he let go of the ball!!

One goal conceded in three matches will do for me, regardless of how many goal kicks he fluffs

 

[Turkey]

His early kicking was okay but after that it was awful.

He was a bit dodgy in the box, trying to punch clear and not claiming it on a few occasions.

However he did make a great save too keep us in it. He pulls off match winning saves so well done too him today.

no

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Oh yeh, watched that on the screen - definitely a handball

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Good in patches, but he'll need to improve to keep Hendo out. That kicking is a problem that isn't going to go away, and it's a shame; it marred an otherwise strong game for him.

His kicking was really really bad. Just gave away possesion time after time. His shot stopping, reflexes were good though. I think its pretty even tween the two keepers, Hendo has better distribution, FDM is more the fan fave. Not a bad problem to have as long as we don't have sulking like last year.

Yes, yes he did.

Kuipers

His "time wasting" tactics were superb,though to be fair he only tied his shoelace up and walked when putting the ball down for a goal kick.No doubt all the time lost was covered in the SIX minutes of injury time

 

[seven stands]

anyone who looks that happy to get a win in the albion kit gets my vote
