Kuipers

[Kinky Gerbil]

Anyone see him running back from a corner?

Would've won that game yesterday if Kuipers was in goal.

On what proof?

How can you say that?

Because Kuipers wouldn't have fumbled.

Henderson has a disturbing tendency of pushing the ball out into the middle of a mellee. Kuipers is a safer handler of the ball, always has been. It sticks with him, with Hendo it could go bloody anywhere.

Glad to have seen the back of him, just disapointed it wasn't a permanent moved the way the sicknote has been letting them in at Boston against less able strikers is a big cause for concern.

when he decides to leave his line

 

[Statto]

Yeah saw that on the Championship. For those that didnt see it, he came up for a corner in the dying minutes of the game and the other team (carlisle I think) hit them on the break and scored. Thought it was funny the way he then turned round and started bollocking his defence.

Henderson didn't fumble, he made a decent save. Although, on the whole, that's the worst I've seen him play.

I'd still have him over Kuipers every time though.

The blame lies with Butters and Lynch, who were absolutely skinned by someone going at barely jogging speed. Not the first time the lack of a left-back has cost us.

Console yourselves we save money on relegation with Henderson.

Console yourselves we save money on relegation with Henderson.

And there lies the real reason for dropping Kuipers. To save cash.

Thats what i was thinking! He runs the whole length of the pitch back and then starts bollocking the defence, what the hell was the defender supposed to do?!

Not entirely true as I understand it.

Disagree. I thought at the time he spilt a dribbler of a shot that was rolling across him, and now having seen it on TV, its only confirmed it. Henderson only had to fall on the bloody thing, he wasn't even having to stretch for it. There wasn't much pace on the shot at all, it was a bog-standard gathering save. Instead, he inexplicably "flicked" the ball with his hand onto the onrushing McShane, and the rest is history.

I know conditions were difficult, but Hendo would probably admit himself that he totally ballsed that up. I STILL don't understand why the FDM is being forced out of this club, because he is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best option we have between the sticks. He communicates, he organises, he's a tremendous shot-stopped, he's imposing...everything you'd want from a keeper. This "distribution" stuff thats levelled at him is a load of shit. We've got several outfield players who's "distribution" could much more readily be called into question. Kuipers is a goalie not a midfielder for christs sake. He's there to stop the ball going IN, not to set up attacks or pick out passes. I still maintain he is the best keeper at the club by a mile.

Pisses me off, it does.

 

[LDH]

his distribution isn't actually that good anyway..

Totally agree. Another reason that is not affeted by how much money the club has for wanting McGhee out.

"Barely jogging speed"? In order to defend Hendo (which is a praiseworthy), it's a shame you have to be so scapegoating towards Lynch and Butters. I guess it's always someone else's fault when one of your favourites is questioned, that was often the pattern with Leon Knight too. For the record, Feeney is a good player and his pace has hurt us more than once this season.

I reckon it was the condition of the pitch that deceived Hendo, the ball was hit firmly but was sticking to the pitch as it came towards him. It reminded me of a batsman deceived by a crafty slow ball.

McGhee out for signing an international keeper?

Well, what can you say, we have reached a land beyond logic.
