Kenny has had one full game and was muck. I believe there is an underlying lack of confidence with Henderson too. He never seemed to want the ball back to him, as in when he got it, it was hoofed away ratehr than distributed. We're not like other countries who can seemlessly switch keepers when needed without much hassle (eg Germany Lehmann + Hildebrand). Same for the abck four. We'd be better off giving a shadow back four and a shadow cm pairing a continued run of competitive games together and then see what happens when they're called up to the first team.
