Don't quite understand the logic there Rambo.

Watford away last season, basic error by Kuipers - ball bounces of chest and goal conceded.

Lost the game but Kuipers not dropped.

Take your point, Kuipers has also cost us points in the past, and the Watford one cost us dearly (a game I thought we should have won).
I just have more confidence in Kuipers.
We must count ourselves lucky, it has been a long time (since Moseley and Steele) since we have had two quality keepers.

But for me at this moment in time it will be FDM (just wish he would improve his distribution)

Ok, but when Kuipers is in goal, I always feel on edge. When Roberts is in goal, I don't. Yes he did a silly mistake, but is it better then going out too early like Kuipers and conceding goals?

My heart says Kuipers (he is the FDM chef) but my head says Roberts (and he has lurvly eyes)!


There you go, it's a game of opinions, but I am the exact opposite, in that I am never comfortable with Ben in goal, but seeing FDM there reassures me before a ball is even kicked.

Can't say I've noticed the eyes, but how can you forgive him for the awful floppy haircut of his Cup Final heyday?

I'd rather play with Britney Spears, than virtually anything else in the World.

... oh sorry Lush, just read your post properly.

There can be no doubt, it is clearly Kuipers. People who think otherwise dont deserve an opinion as far as im concerned. He is a hero, and along with Bobby and Danny is the reason we won 2 championships. Kuipers has produced many many saves that have had me out of my seat and over the past 3 seasons has won us point after point.

Kuipers is a hero, Roberts is very good, but no, Michel is Brightons No. 1

Kuipers kicking is not all that, but is Roberts much better?

When he was playing earlier this season, he swung his trusty 3 wood at the ball on several occasions and either sliced it or hooked it dreadfully.

Kuipers for me, any day.

I thought Kuipers had a poor game at Peterborough.

I'm torn between the too. My head says Roberts is the better keeper. He was class last season and hasn't had a decent run this year. You can't help but love the dutch marine though.

It's great to have two good goalkeepers. Yeah they've made gaffs but they're not to many in this league who are better.

Deffo Roberts - only made 2 mistakes (one cost us a goal). Kuipers just looks dody all the time.

Nice to hear Roberts shouting - I don't really hear Kuipers that much.

Sorry but that's absolute bull!
The times Kuipers has kept us in the game! Brentford would have beaten us by 6 if it wasn't for him.

Who gives a shit about kicking? Kuipers is a human cat!

I never once mentioned his kicking. I prefer it when we pass the ball from the back - I don't know if that was Roberts goalkeeping or McGhee's management but it was a lot better.

Kuipers IMHO is below par this season. B Roberts played a good game last night. Not great; but good. 7/10.

Bring back Nicky Rust.

After last nights performance FDM has to start on Saturday. Roberts is a great 'keeper, but didn't look confident and did make a couple of mistakes.

My heart is in my mouth every time Kuipers plays.
And surely the defenders feel the same.

Sure Roberts made a mistake last night but there rare events.

I bet if you asked the back 4 who they would rather play in front of they would say Roberts.

Braders your talking pony.

You cant honestly be confident with Kuipers in goal.
Its like a great achievement if he even connects with the ball when kicking !

Mghee will go for Roberts I have no doubt.

And while Im ranting, Butters ....simply poo still, all this isnt he doing well Bollocks......hes shite.

Waston Hinshelwood Cullip Mayo......please.
