I have always been a fan of Kuipers and preferred him to the likes of Henderson and Blayney. However, today his performance was abysmal and in my view was the catalyst for the defeat.
In the first half he could easily have been booked for mouthing off at the linesman about a stupid offside decision that he can't see from his position anyway. He followed this with a Hendersonesque save, pushing the ball back into play and only got away with it as the ball was cleared by an Albion player, possibly Whing.
Their first goal, he came for the cross, changed his mind and was back peddling when the ball came back in and therefore his momentum stopped him from coming forward to collect the ball before their player poked it past him.
Second goal was another shot parried back into play.
I'll let him off the third one which was avoidable but will blame Whing. He had just crowded out their player on the left who had to lay the ball back but why did he then proceed to come inside and leave the guy on the left completely on his own. The ball went back to the guy, crosses it and nearpost flick, thank you very much.
Adams reputation lies in tatters but time may well heal that one. Dick Knight has had the worse season of his tenure starting with the sacking of Wilkins which has never been explained.
Mathematically, we are not down but that's about the best you can say about it. Last season we were still mathematically in with a shout of the play-offs with two games to go. This year, will be relegated with two games to go.
The season ticket renewals will certainly be interesting reading.
