Wilder will surely have noted our inability to deal effectively with the ball put in from wide areas, be it a cross or a corner. I would expect this to be a main attacking platform for them.
Accordingly I would prefer Johnstone over Henderson, the better keeper and more in control of his 6 yard box.

Both SJ and Henderson are glued to their line at corners. I doubt Sam would have stopped either of the 1st 2 goals on Sat, just as he didn't do anything with the 3 v West Ham corners last season.

Modern goalies just don't command their 6 yard box anymore.

Just as worrying was Henderson not coming out sufficiently for the late goals. Staying too far back just gives the striker too large an area of the goal to hit.
