withdean goalies

[hshaw]

who has been the best goalkeeper in the withdean years, most people will say kuipers but i wil say ben roberts in my opinion he is one of the most underated albion players in recent times

 

[Mr Burns]

Probably Ben Roberts, but big Casper isn't too far behind.

People are so blinkered on Kuipers. He wouldn't get near my top 3, let alone the best. Best shot stopper maybe, but overall goalkeeper nowhere near.

1. Kuipers - Superb keeper. Peaked around 01/03 when he was sensational. Great shot stopper and every time he was written off, or a new keeper was brought in he always fought them off. Can remember two world class saves against Tranmere away in 2000 and Bristol City at home in 2002. Both were absolutely stunning.

2. Roberts - Technically our best keeper. Had the odd Barthez moment, where he tried to take too many touches on pass backs and got himself in trouble a few times. A real shame injuries prevented him from playing in the Championship.

3. Ankeregan - Has got better and better for us this season. Has contributed as much with his feet than with his hands. Vital to the way we build from the back and as good as Kuipers was, he couldn't of played the role that Casper has this season as his kicking and distribution would have put us in trouble.

Did Chris May ever play in the first team?

'An honorable shout for Henderson' !!!!! One word = Eagles.

As well as having a bad attitude and over inflated ego, he had a tendency to push shots back into path of oncoming attackers. His only real asset was that he could kick the ball to the other end of the pitch where our 6' 6" centre forward (Leon Knight) regularly failed to collect the ball. I wonder why!

He came on as a sub when Kuipers did his shoulder.
I think.

 

[seagulls4ever]

At his peak, Kuipers, without a doubt.
