No, I won't. I have no idea when there were or who they were against. I am not so tragic a human being to remember every minutiae of detail to that extent. All I will say is that that kind of mistake that Henderson made for the first Crewe goal is the kind of mistake I will constantly associate with him because, one, he has done it several times before (no, I can't remember who against - as I said I am not that sad), and two, he doesn't appear to have learned from it yet. I am sure he will do eventually.Repugnant Toad said:Name them, by all means ... most of those I repeatedly see mentioned are excellent saves that the defenders don't follow up on. Would you say Kuipers was at fault against Bristol City the other week?
Only the goals against Plymouth away, and possibly the first at home to Crewe would I call real blunders.

At this time, I have nowhere as much confidence in Henderson as I do in Kuipers. And if I were to go on body language alone (all that I can really go on), the defenders in front of them appear to feel the same.

Brilliant news as far as I'm concerned! Not got anything major against Henderson, but let's be honest, he isn't fit to lace LORD MICHEL'S boots. I can't say I want him to leave, but if this means Big Michel will be our full-time number 1, then I'm a happy man. Roll on tonight!
Albion Dan said:What a disgusting time to rock the boat, one game into DW's caretaker management.
He cost us points against Brentford, Crewe, and almost threw one in his net at Forest. Im not saying Kuipers doesnt make errors but Hendo looks like making one fairly often. He may have better distribution but Kuipers has much better command with crosses.
I cant believe people think he should play just because hes Irelands no2, imo that just shows how poor Irelands Keeping options are.
empire said:blame the fans,once again a few gobby little shites make a player very unhappy.he,as most would is worried about his international rep and is not happy being left out,but getting slated every week hurts the most i would suspect.well done proud of yourself,outing mm now a decent goalie
London Irish said:What about the Gillingham game only a few week's back, it's surely not that tragic to remember that game? Hendo was absolutely outstanding, the 3pts belonged to him more than any other player.
All keepers make mistakes, Hendo has played a lot of games over the past year, Kuipers didn't for whatever reason. It's not that surprising that Hendo's mistakes are fresher in the mind.
The idea that Kuipers doesn't make mistakes is fanciful. But if today has more or less confirmed FDM as our No1 for the foreseeable future, then let's hope it's as few as possible from now on.
