I remember Willo and I agree. I'd say that Wayne is on par with AP in the vitriol stakes but he is in a much more dangerous position. And others can't cover for him like they can a midfielder.

He made a couple of saves in a 5-0 defeat. So what. Still made a mess of two and showed characteristic lack of bottle on the back of similar against Swansea.

Question marks from some against Southampton but personally don't think he could do a lot else.

Quick question. Have you ever seen a Palace player come in for this much stick?

If yes, who?

If no, why do you think this is?

Just taking it back to basics.

There seem very few who give him so much stick as yourself on this site. David Wright for one. Earlier, before the internet, there were players that got a load of stick, David Price for instance. There were many others. The internet gives a belief that a few people being anti something is actually a great deal more than actually are. It amplifies something that isn't as prevalent in the real world.

I believe he is getting stick because he is replacing Speroni and everything seems to be a comparison against them two and, as Speroni was/is incredibly popular, and was very good for us Hennessey was/is on a hiding to nothing with some fans.

Does he make mistakes, of course. Does he make as many mistakes when the defence is better, of course not. This would seem to be true of any keeper.

He made 3 very good saves. Give him credit for those or you do come out seeming very one eyed in the way you watch a match. I do think he was at fault for the headed goal and perhaps could have done better for the first. That to me is a balanced view.

I should add that I'd have liked us to have a real go at getting Heaton in during the Summer as I think he is an excellent keeper.

I think the main problem Hennessy has is that he isn't a "conviction keeper"

I played Sunday league etc (not comparing it) but if you went in half hearted you got told about it. He always looks like he is concerned about getting hurt.

6ft 5, he should be dominating his area and his one concern shoud be stopping the ball, not if he is going to get hurt. For that first goal watch his body language and face. That and the punch just after, it's about defensive not assertive.

Being compared to Speroni is unfair as Speroni was prepared to put his body on the line.

Then watch him against Southampton where, for their goal, he went down for the ball when the challenge from Long went in. That showed bravery.

Trust me, he gets jut as much stick in real life. From everyone I sit around both home and away.
I personally think it only has one thing to do with Speroni. And that is that Speroni was a much better keeper than him in his prime. You really believe that if that Wayne was an adequate replacement for Speroni that he wouldn't be an absolute Palace hero rather than the villain/laughing stock that he is? Of course he would. We would all love that to be the case, none more so than me. Unfortunately for everyone concerned he is nowehete near the level of the player that he replaced when he was in his prime. And that is just suicidal in this league. I can see this and find it nothing short of infuriating. As do quite a large number of Palace fans. The fact that he replaced a legend in goal is also a bit of a slap in the face. But it isn't the reason that he gets so much stick. Trust me, I'd welcome him into my heart like I would any Palace hero if he was a good goalie for us. But he isn't, he's a real danger to our premier league status and I have to say it how I see it.

bless your cotton socks...your just the gift that keeps on giving

Again, more bulls*** from Brauny. Never said I rated Warnock better than Pards. If I did, please point me to where I said it.
Although I do rate Warnock for his first spell with us and I'm grateful for him steadying the ship the second time around. I imagine most Palace fans feel the same.

and the 4th goal?
My point is, if a keeper makes 10 fantastic saves then drops a bollock, like Hennessey does most weeks, we still lose, dont we? Needs upgrading but I feel we've left it too late, we will be down by the time we can (perhaps) buy a new keeper (if we can persuade one to come to a team with 0 points after 15 games that is)

No he doesn't! He makes about the same number of errors as most PL keepers. If you really think our problems are down to the goalie (when we haven't scored in 10 of our last 11 games) then you are deluded.

So you sit amongst others that share your view? That doesn't make it right.

You really do seem to have a fixation about him which, considering we have not scored in ages, seems very weird. Do you post as much about our defence, midfield and attack or is it just a personal grievance against Hennessey?

Believe me, I don't give him stick at games but his performances have been way below the level required and I think he's been persevered with purely on the basis that he's younger and taller than JS.

I get that some think his frame compensates and his kicking is good but almost every other aspect of his game looks dodgy. Even his handling.
