Kuipers or Henderson - the update

[dougdeep]

I don't suppose most of you were there but the save Kuipers made on Wednesday from a free kick was outstanding and put us in the next round of the cup.

 

[Silent Bob]

That's the problem ...

We finally see the back of the worst left-back in the division, only to likely see the second-worst one come in. Except Reid's got an excuse, what with being a right-footed midfielder and all.

I think Reid is even worse there than Mayo, but as you say he has an excuse.

The save which was an exact replica of the one Hendo is getting panned for today?

 

[dougdeep]

Hart did ok there last season for a couple of games.

I wasn't there against Boston, did Kuipers push the ball at the opposing forward's feet?

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Indeed.

The only difference being that the forward was too slow to react, and it was cleared. I recall at the time thinking 'if that was Henderson ...'

So it has proved, inevitably.

No, I was there and mentioned it to a mate that Henderson would have a cost us a goal.

No he hooked it behind.

 

[The Large One]

There wasn't any such save today. So I don't know what you mean.

 

[Woodchip]

FDM

 

[Da Man Clay]

No he hooked it behind.

No he didn't he pushed it back into the box and it was cleared by Reid I think.

 

[dougdeep]

Oh, yes he did!

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

No he hooked it behind.

Clearly he didn't.

 

[elwheelio]

Hendo, as today demonstrated, although NSC will always worship at the altar of the FDM.

Interesting that Hendo got a load of flak for the first goal, but when Kuipers did exactly the same thing on Wednesday, it was described as an "absolutely brilliant save".

that's cos Kuipers didn't let in any goals, Hendo let in four. Kuipers isn't the best keeper in the world, but he's the best we've got. Henderson makes so many mistakes it's untrue. Feel sorry for ROI if he's the thirs best keeper they have....then again we've got David James..

 

[The Large One]

So in comparison to a month ago...

Kuipers 60% >>> 66.3% UP 6.3%
Henderson 36% >>> 21.8% DOWN 14.2%
Undecided 4% >>> 11.9% UP 7.9%

 

[Scotty Mac]

It won't matter how well Kuipers plays next week, he'll still be dropped when Hendo's back anyway.

and it wont matter how badky kuipers plays, people will just skim over it

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Having just seen the goal from the free kick againn ot ONE Albion defender followed up unlike when the Crewe Keeper did the same a Crewe defender was first to react.

 

[Rufio]

But the simple fact is Henderson should have held it, it should not have been a difficult ball to hold on to.

 

[London Irish]

So in comparison to a month ago...

Kuipers 60% >>> 66.3% UP 6.3%
Henderson 36% >>> 21.8% DOWN 14.2%
Undecided 4% >>> 11.9% UP 7.9%

If you'd have taken the poll after the Gillingham game, when Hendo's brilliant keeping was the main reason for the 3pts, then the result would have been very different. As we all know, NSC polls are only ever a referendum on the last game.

 

[Rufio]

Where is that quite from?
