Marcelo Bielsa might be available?

In 20/21 Butland played twice for Palace and Hennessey once. There's no difference between the two of them.

Hennessy is a good shot stopper and has good distribution
If we can make sure he doesn’t go Cobra Kai we’ll be fine

I can just about cope with Hennessey for a few games and some are games he'd have played anyway but any more than 2 league games and I'd be pretty concerned.
And as long as he doesn’t turn up to Matches dressed as a Sturmbannführer again, he should be fine.

Hennessey is fine as back up. He's been about long enough at top and international level to know where his gloves are.

It's all about mid-table...
Big loss.
I was sceptical of him at first, burriz more than grew onmi.
Our team as it stands, needs him back asap.

Folk have written him off, just like they did with McKenna, Toffolo, Williams, Surridge and O'Brien...
Well, they had last week. Who knows what they think this week?

Luckily two of the games coming up are ones Henderson will be missing anyway.
I reckon he may miss the Bournemouth game and then be available again.

Aside from his mistake for United's second goal, didn't Hennessey keep the score down second half, he made a few good saves didn't he?
Obviously a big mistake and a downgrade on Henderson but I think he might be able to tide us over if Hendo's injury is only a week or 2,
As others have aluded to above, i'm not sure where we could actually get a similar level quality goalkeeper at this stage in the season

He isn't a bad keeper, I'm not sure what people are so tetchy about. Obviously we wouldn't want him in the team long term but I think there's a tendency to over-rate Henderson based on a few pen saves and playing blinders when we were defending so badly, and under-rate Hennessey based on a goal where the whole defence switched off against Man U, the 2nd he got a hand to, and a red card for Wales.

For once, I agree with Statto 
.
But I also agree with the train of thought that worries about being one injury or suspension away from Jordan Smith playing.

Exactly regarding Smith. And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be saying Hennessey in the team for more than a few matches would really be the answer. But he is more than capable of deputising in a short term injury or suspension situation.For once, I agree with Statto

I'd rather see the Bosnian lad we signed or wherever he's from over Smith, at least he's young and will probably improve.

If Hennessey isn't good enough to fill in for Henderson for a few games then why is he here?

Because we aren't able to sign two Premier League number 1's as a newly promoted side.
I have few problems with Hennessey filling in, but we will be in trouble if we are playing half the season with him in the net.

Basically we have to make sure we get at least as many points in the second half of the season as we did in the first. We don’t have much margin for error in key positions such as GK, albeit I agree Hennessey is a decent keeper.

Darlow is available - on loan?
Wouldn‘t want him long term - but, if Deano’s injury is to keep him out for say a couple of months, we could do worse.

No we couldn't.
If we want Premier League football next season we would need to sign a Premier League quality goalkeeper. Not Karl f***ing Darlow.
Statto

I get neither the fuss nor the attraction to Darlow. OK so he came through the academy but was absolute toss for us in a mid table 2nd tier side, was regularly beaten from range, had the presence of a wet piece of TP, didn't command his area or come for crosses. We were lucky to get rid of him (they probably really wanted Lascelles anyway) to someone willing to pay a lot for him and he's done very little for them other than let in loads of goals. A good short range shot stopper is all he is

That’s the game that Stone missed a sitter
I thought the rule was you couldn't loan 2 keepers from the same side

We could worse by putting a bloke with no arms in goal but it would be close
