He gave away posession 10/15 times today. 2 or 3 times he put us in serious trouble. Against a better team it would have been a cricket score.

I would be AMAZED if he plays next week.

Another one who should have gone a few seasons ago. Leaking them like a sieve even at Boston at a lower level so why the hell is he back here.

Henderson would have been playing today if he wasn't away on international duty.

Had to have at least three touches on his goal line before he could kick the ball straight. I reserved judgement during the match, but having watched the goals replayed on Sky, he really should have done better

Agreed. The third goal was a pathetic attempt and excuse for goalkeeping, I honestly believe Steven Hawkins is quicker off his line than Kuipers.

I don't think Henderson would have saved any of the goals.

Probably the second Kuipers seemed very static, And would have had a half decent attempt at the 3rd.

Maybe not, but his distribution is so much better and that makes him much the better keeper. Kuipers vs Henderson - it's not even a debate.

Shit defending always exposes the keeper.

Right on the money! Comedic effort to stop the 3rd but the defense left him exposed time and time again. I'm a hendo man myself :)safeway2: ) but i think/know the root problem is the defense

Don't think too much of the third goal. That was comical. :nono:

His kicking and distirbution looked fairly good. Wouldn't say HE lost us posession 10/15 times, more like the outfield players not winning the second ball.

As a big Henderson fan I feel even I have to stick up for Kuipers today. Maybe the 2nd goal he could have done something about but really should have been the defenders job. The 3rd was a bit unfortunate, OK the striker fcuked it up but by then Kuipers had already made his decision and couldnt change direction. I will say though, that Kuipers weak kicking seems to be well known throughout the division, this was very appareant today. Blackpool pushed forward every time Kuipers had the ball knowing full well the ball wasnt going to get out of our half, that immediatley put us under pressure and kept us on the back foot when we should have been moving forward.

Thought the first goal came indirectly from poor kicking from Kuipers. He took a free kick outside his penalty that went a long way up but came down just beyond the centre circle in the other half, Blackpool won the header, we were on the back foot and during their sustained pressure forced the corner from which they scored.
