Kuipers got back in the team because of a superb display in the reserves denying Leroy Lita two goals in four minutes. Chaigneau had been in goal for the previous defeats against Coventry, Millwall etc.
It worries me that if FDM gets injured again before the end of the season we only have Chaigneau to fall back on and an inexperienced youngster.

With so little cash to play with why waste it on another keeper - especially if he or his agent are asking for unrealistic money.
I'd rather the cash was put towards the forwards we so desperately need.

Flo is only on loan until May and then goes back to France. [/QUOTE]
Yep so get someone in the summer then, or use one of the young keepers as reserve. But for goodness sakes don't waste £30k plus wages on a position we are fairly well covered on, when we desperately need a striker.
If Kuipers got injured we could easily get a loan goalkeeper as we have done many many times without problem in the past few seasons.

Exactly what I was going to say.
We are covered at present, and if Kuipers gets injured and/or Chaigneau leaves we'll just have to dip into the loan market again.
I think goalkeeper is one of the easiest positions to fill through loan signings because it's a difficult position to claim as your own in a team with another strong 'keeper. Thus there are lots of good 'keepers keeping benches warm across the country, simply because there aren't enough spaces in the team for them.
Were we to have another goalkeeping crisis I have faith in the management team to bring somebody else in on loan again. There are shedloads of 'keepers desperate for that first team opportunity.
Decent strikers on the other hand, don't come quite as readily

Further news from the Argus
Albion manager Mark McGhee and his backroom staff have launched another hectic round of scouting missions after missing out on one striker and cooling their interest in another.
The transfer window closes in a fortnight and McGhee is still desperate to add firepower to his relegation-threatened squad, despite Saturday's 2-1 home win over Leeds.
The Seagulls have lost out to Derby in their bid to sign former Polish international front man Marcin Zewlakow.
The 29-year-old from Metz, the French club Albion signed winger Alex Frutos from, played in a practice match for Derby yesterday against Port Vale.
McGhee, who misses tonight's FA Youth Cup clash against Chelsea at Withdean because of the striker search, said: "That's the problem we have got. When somebody like him is faced with a choice between Derby and ourselves he'll choose Derby."
The British Isles forward interesting Albion failed to impress coach Dean White when he watched him in action at the weekend, while the Seagulls have been priced out of a move for another potential target from the lower divisions.
The chances of former loan keeper Wayne Henderson rejoining Albion permanently from Aston Villa are also decreasing by the day.
The offer made to Henderson is final and McGhee is less concerned about the goalkeeping situation now after Michel Kuipers' return to top form in the Reserves and against Leeds and Flo Chaigneau's recent appearances against Southampton and Coventry.
"We've done all we can," McGhee said. "We're not doing anything else. I haven't heard from his agent now for I don't know how many days."
Meanwhile, Albion goalkeeping prospect Richard Martin is due to train with Everton this week. The Argus first revealed Everton's interest in the 18-year-old last month.
