Smith - played twice, let in 10?

[portlock seagull]

Is that right?

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

No. Kuipers let in first against Huddersfield prior to being sent off.
Let in 9..............I think

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

It's not a good statistic is it.............

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Not really helped by having the Keystone Cops in front of him as defenders.

 

[pork pie]

Jock keepers!

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

12 in 2 and a half games.

Not that I'm stirring it

 

[Scotty Mac]

well, the fact that people are not clambering all over the place for him to be dropped and laying the blame at his door suggests it was an improvement on kuipers of recent weeks

 

[portlock seagull]

Thanks for correcting me. I'm definately a Kuipers fan and have no wish to slate Smith, especially since I haven't seen him play yet/he has a woeful back 4 in front of him. He must hate having those stats against him though poor bloke.

 

[Blackadder]

I couldn't blame him for the 3 goals in the first half. That was down to dreadful defending!

He pulled off some good saves in the second half.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

First time I have seen Smith and I was quite pleased. He couldn't have done much about the three goals, made some decent saves and catches and I felt his distribution was decent.

Smith did well today and he did the other week at Orient IMO.

But Kuipers plays behind the same back four. Twelve goals let in in 2.5 games tells you all you need to know.

 

[Djmiles]

Is it not 13?

6 against Huddersfield.
4 against Stockport.
3 against Hartlepool

 

[Scotty Mac]

Er no, he was no better than Michel has been. Still flapped at a few things and didn't exactly do anything great. I'm just saying that, having signed him, he deserves some sort of chance.

forgive me if i discard your view of smiths performance in favour of some other nsc members who would give what is best termed as a 'more balanced' view

nothing personal

 

[Barrel of Fun]

But Kuipers plays behind the same back four. Twelve goals let in in 2.5 games tells you all you need to know.

For a start, half of those goals were conceded because Kuipers got himself sent off. Then there was the nine man debacle against Stockport.

 

[jordanseagull]

13 goals I think. 6 of them was when we had a player off, 4 of them when we had 2 players off.

These are the only ones where we have had 11 on the pitch. He couldn't have done anything about them, bar actually shouting at the defence, which I think he was doing.

 

[Two Professors]

Can I just clamber all over this site & ask for Kuipers to be in goal for all league games,as his understudy doesn't appear to be able to juggle homework & career yet
