Was tested with one of the crosses with which they scored though. Hopefully he'll be match fit and back in contention with us, unless I've missed any permanent transfer rumour.
Kuipers' last ditch heroics came after a nightmare start to his first game at the KC Stadium when he conceded a goal after just three .
The big Dutchman, who has been linked with a permanent move to City, said: "Even when we went behind so early, I always thought we had the power to win the game.
"For the first goal, I was unsighted and the ball deflected off another player who was sliding in. I'm sure I would have saved it otherwise.
"At 3-1, we should have closed out the game. I made a save with a few minutes to go and I thought that was it but in the end we made hard work of things. You have to give Southend credit to come here and play so well on the counter-attack.
"It was a relief to hear the final whistle. We're happy with the three points but after the match we were discussing how we can improve."
