Lots of Crystal Palace fans have reacted sarcastically on Twitter after summer signing Stephen Henderson conceded six goals on his debut in the 6-2 pre-season friendly defeat against Barnet on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old was one of four senior players – along with Alexander Sorloth, Connor Wickham and Jairo Riedewald – to make the starting XI at The Hive, and things looked to be going well as the visitors took an early 2-0 lead.
