Dean Henderson Interview on RH

If he has much say I reckon hed probably stay, hes certainly enjoyed working his way through the young female population of Cleethorpes (allegedly)...

Quoted from Civvy at last

I do like Henderson, we have been lucky to get him.
But can people stop using him to have a pop at Macca.  If/when he goes back to Manure it won't be the end of the world.  Macca hasn't suddenly turned sh1t. We just have an exceptional young goalie on loan.

No-one said Macca was sh!t - just that mistakes by a goalie are more likely to cost goals and points at this level. This season Macca has made too many.

The defence definitely looks more relaxed with Hendo behind them. I think Macca is a very decent goalie and will benefit from a spell on the sidelines to focus the mind. He hasn't had much serious competition for a few seasons and maybe got a bit complacent. As good as he is, he isn't in the same class as Henderson, who is clearly bound for the top. I've seen a few young keepers at BP over the years and you could tell from just the one or two viewings that they were going on to bigger things. Hart, Hislop and James spring to mind.

I hope this thread des not denigrate into Hendo V James as Dean has come up in a coaching system in one of the top 10 clubs in the world and you can see that not only in his performance but also his behaviours. James however has served a lot of his time in  the "Tin Pot" leagues and has usually had a part time coach or at times non at all. I am not Gary Neville (who is a self appointed GK expert all of a sudden) a keeper or coach so don't feel qualified to talk about skills technique etc.. but what I do know is that both are 100% committed to doing well for GTFC.

If Dean stays we will be in a very good place for the rest of this term either way we will have a decent keeper behind our defence.

Indeed he is a real class act. You will remember when we had Dave Beasant on loan and he was the best keeper I ever saw for Town, and that includes Charlie Wright, Nigel Batch and Danny Coyne. The reason Henderson and Beasant stand out is their ability to command their area. Many many keepers are great shot stoppers but the very best make the penalty box their domain and command it. Mckeown is a decent keeper, but no where near the class of Henderson. Why we didn't play him straight away I have no idea.

Batchy used to command his area usually with foul language....... Good keeper Nigel (like the others above) and as mad as a box of frogs like they all are, I also remember he used to kick from hand with one foot and off the ground with the other, never seen that before or since.

Without doubt, he's the most talented keeper I've seen in a Town shirt - Lurch was the finished article with years of experience. He looks every bit as talented as Joe Hart did when he played for Shrewsbury at BP and I suspect that we will have given a League debut to a future international - let's hope so!

Quoted from grimsby pete

Does anybody know his gran ?

We could send her some flowers and chocs,

Just to be nice mind not a bribe for her to work on Dean to stay.

We could send you round to work your magic on her Pete. I'm sure you'd like to befriend a younger woman.

Young lad doing well at gtfc but who is signed for man u pulling the birds shocker.. what should he be doing watching is nan knitting all night ? He strikes me a very switched on young man, I can't see no scandals with this lad

I rate macca but as soon many have said doesn't command the box very well, I do think however having these games in the dugout may well have made macca realise that if he commands the box like Deano does he will be a much better stopper. he will have been watching Deano and probably learned a lot so when Deano goes back to manure macca will be better stopper when he starts back again.
