Goals conceded

The trouble with stats is that you can always pull one out of the bag to back-up what you believe, regardless of what is plain for all to see.
I give you Les Read during his brief tenure at Charlton. You'd see a game where they were absolutely whipped, and he would come out with how they had a similar number of corners and were therefore unlucky to lose.
If you want a stat that puts Hendo and Kuipers the other way round, I'll offer up Championship medals.
Kuipers - 2
Henderson - 0
I'm not saying FDM is the all-conquering goal-keeper who will never let in another goal, and nor am I someone who has jumped all over Henderson at the slightest thing - quite the opposite. But it seems irrefutable that Kuipers has shown a much more professional attitude to the ups and downs of a fottballers life, and has dealt with being dropped far better. Even if Henderson doesn't think he has anything to learn from Kuipers in his goalkeeping, he certainly has with his attitude.
