Dean Henderson Interview on RH

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

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.

Pick up a slight injury in first few weeks he was here

I'm told that one
condition of him staying is that he plays first team football. Come summer he'll be off and we'll have an unhappy McKeown who hasn't played for 6 months. Seems MB has a decision to make.

There are several goalkeepers of a similar level to Macca - it will be a long time before we get one as good as Dean Henderson in a Town shirt.

Ultimately, McKeown needs to look at himself and realise that he has been unchallenged for a long, long time. He's been in no danger of losing his shirt and unfortunately I believe that allowed a degree of complacency to set it to his game. If we play Dean until the end of the season and McKeown is 'unhappy' as a result, how he deals with it will be a reflection upon him and his attitude. He can either use it to spur himself on and ensure he's never put in that position again, or he can be petulant and let his unhappiness impact his performances further. It could also be prudent for him to observe Dean's game - particularly his command of the area. Personally, I believe that this is an aspect that lets McKeown down and think that Dean has every right to come in to the fold - the confidence he shows undoubtedly spreads amongst the defence and I don't believe that McKeown has that same factor. Excellent shot-stopper, but in terms of defensive organisation and command of the area, question marks are there.

If Dean does leave then Macca has a chance to prove his worth ,

If he does not take that chance I expect a new keeper for next season hopefully in league one,

I like Macca but if he is not up to the job we move on and so will he,

With all our best wishes.

FFS behave ................. how many unfounded assertions and assumptions can you make about Macca who is someone who is as GTFC through and through as any player we have, in previous years he could have moved for more money apparently but chose t stay, We all saw what May 15th 2016 meant to him along with other stalwarts like Shaun, Dis etc....  

I take it your assessment of the situation is based upon your goal keeping coaching qualification and intrinsic knowledge of professional football? I am convinced James is fully aware of the situation and will I am 110% sure fight for his place and not behave like some 11 year old.

Dean though a lot younger and less experienced than James has one big advantage and that is coming up through the ranks at arguably one of the top 10 clubs in the world, a robust system that has produced many a prem star in addition to the class of 92. James however has come up through playing in "tin pot" where at times he has not even had a coach to work with. It is really unfair on both to make caparisons.

All of a sudden we have a lot of flipping goal keeping experts on here, why can't we be happy for this weekend at least we will have 1 England keeper who has massive potential in the game in addition to a tried and tested GTFC promotion winning keeper?.

So what if he's going through all the chicks in town? At least he's content here and not sat in a bedsit on his Playstation feeling homesick or whatever. It's what young lads do (or try), it's what footballer's certainly make the most of with their status plus being in great shape and then weigh in he the only Premier League player this side of the Humber he in for the jackpot. Fill yer boots I say to the lad.

Those that whining need to shut up and get back on Pornhub.

I'm still disappointed that we haven't got any talented 21 year old local players with dark hair and big noses. Similar tales were told of a previous temporary resident of northeastern Lincs back in 95-96 season.

If I ever had any magic it disappeared years ago mate.

You could still share your Werther's originals with her though. (I nearly made that old quip about a Fisherman's Friend but thought was a bit too disrespectful, even for me).

I don't remember Mark Flatts hanging around long enough to make any conquests.

Quoted from coddy60

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

Not a good idea to post rumours like that on here.  You don't know who might be reading and we don't want to create a problem where there needn't be one.

I think we can all see that Henderson is a PL goalkeeper in waiting, it would be fantastic to keep him for the rest of the season.  If not, we still have a good replacement.
