All of this Anti-Henderson

[Caveman]

What I don't understand is how Kuipers lost his place. We won 8-0 then he got dropped?

 

[dougdeep]

i dont want to hang him,

sell kuipers to lewes or afc,just get rid

not conference standard really,but could do a job for crawley.

how many albion managers rating him second or third choice do you need?

How many times have you seen him?

 

[who me?]

since southend away,his debut.

loads of times

whenever the first choice albion keeper was injured.

 

[who me?]

And the award for most stupid person on nsc 2007 goes to 'who me?'

give me the name of ONE albion manager who had him as first choice

clever

 

[Trigger]

give me the name of ONE albion manager who had him as first choice

166 apps, 3 promotions & 2 championships (in which he played more than 80% of the games)

Not bad for a reserve.

 

[who me?]

really.80%? add hendersons performances

so cartwright and roberts played no part.

and i am the stupidest person on nsc 2007

Cartwright played for TWO months and Roberts?... Was he even here during our two championships?...

He is too hesitant, and brings confusion to a slow defence. I don't understand why Kuipers is at least not given a chance, if only to sharpen Henderson up. Wayne must be thinking it is his given right to play, and that no matter how shite he plays, he is in next game.

Today was one step towards the ball, defence slows, Henderson changes mind, and nicely placed lob. 1-0, 5th league defeat in a row.

He has too be changed, if only to remind him he has to fight for a place.

Granted, he learnt for the following 3 occasions, and he dealt with them well.

Reading back Kuipers got off to a dodgy start in the Adams era but benefitted from Cartwright being injured then crap when we lost 3-1 v Cheltenham. He remained first choice until the Coppell era when injury made him miss most of the season and Roberts became available at the end of the season making him first choice. Kuipers was packed off to Hull but was recalled when Roberts became injured but lost his place when the latter became available again. It was at this point that Taylor was thinking of signing him for Hull and the car crash happened.

Kuipers fought his way back from that and benefitted from Roberts' back problems which would eventually lead to his retirement. However, after 30 games on the trot he injured his shoulder which forced McGhee to look around and sign another Keeper relegating him to second choice again.

No but are you Wayne Hesitant in disguise , and where do I claim my £5 ?

Give ,em enough rope........................

I did try to tell him, didn,t I........

 

[Yorkie]

Today's goal was not Henderson's fault. Enough people moaned that he was rooted to his line and when he comes out, Lynch make a complete cock up and left Hendo stranded.
Hendo did a brilliant save at a bloke's feet this afternoon to keep the deficit down.

I love FDM to bits and even part sponsor him but he has not been the same since his horrific shoulder injury and car crash. Those that want him back in are looking back 4 years with rose tinted specs. He is not the keeper he was.

 

[andybaha]

Mark Walton !! There was a shite goalkeeper.

Kuipers agency is the "wright wright wright" agency I understand (of Ian Wright fame)

Non relevant, but I stumbled across their website the other day.

There is a little biog of the former dutch marine.

Sitting in the disabled area for half the game as I do, one thing I do notice is that Kuipers is far more vocal (FAR more vocal) and pro-active is organising everything in front of him.

Whether the players take a blind bit of notice is another thing...

I do think though that it must be a nightmare for any keeper at this club with the hero worship for Kuipers by some fans.

I've seen Kuipers make many mistakes, but he does pull off some visually fantastic saves.

I would trust the management on this one though. It was felt that Kuipers would be an improvement at the current time, I suspect he would be first choice.

Maybe we don't have a number 1 keeper, maybe we just simply have two number 2's?...

That is what Dave The Gaffer said a previous Albion manager said to him during the phone-in the a few weeks ago.
