Better Red

When we had Albert he was a great winger, scored goals and dragged the team forward. Albert was a brilliant player for us. All I am saying is I think he could do that role for us. And Seymenyo has strength as well.

Great contribution Ridiculous - Playing Seymenyo wider will make us better is so far wide of the mark - You really think so? Maybe you just don’t get what a debate is about and I guess football from your comments. Have an opinion that’s all I am saying - not right, not wrong but certainly not ridiculous. But thanks for the feedback

Took a lot of stick to this post 2 years ago and it is often brought up when he scores. For me nothing changed play him wide in a front three and ‘we’ would be a better and ‘he’ would be better player. Not posting to gloat as obviously he can score at this level ‘but’ we need some pace out wide and he’s everything we need and for me we would be a ‘better’ team and you can leave Wells to play through the middle (who will score 10 plus goals) I said if he scores 10 league goals in a season I will change the title - not ready to do that for the minute But can’t we just move him wide and then we may have that £10m player no one’s paying that for a ‘Striker’ who get 10 a season. Is he a good player - Yes Is he a Striker - Still no from me Is he a winger - Yes for me.

1st goal - palms to left they don’t score 2nd goal he is almost in the south stand Both look like his fault to me

How far out is he… Anybody he thinks he should be out that far is just palm and simple wrong as proven in the actual game. It looked stupid live looks even worse when you watch the replay.

Cant claim a ball in his six yard box as he is always routed to his line but you want him to collect a ball nearly 20 yards off it. If that’s the case you got the wrong keeper

Max at fault both goals yesterday. 1st Weak hand pushed it back into the middle instead of wide. 2nd If you come that far as a keeper you have to catch - he didn’t so he is at fault. Offers nothing better than Bentley when coming off his line and Bentley is a better shop stopper. Bentley just is a better keeper

Impact sub worth £10/15m according to a lot of people 8 weeks ago….

I have said for years on here he is not a Centre Forward (they score goals thread..) which I have been roundly slated. For me he is a winger who will get 8 or so goals a season. Play him wide in a front 3 and he would be more effective. I would start him every game rather from the bench I rate him as a player who will cause lots of trouble and push teams backwards which importantly keeps them away from our goal (and Max)

3 teams that should finish in the bottom 3 Hull Preston Huddersfield They are the worst 3 teams in the league. If we can take points of these 3 - I know we lost to Hull we should be Ok. After the 3 it’s Coventry ( they looked pretty poor against us) and sadly I think it’s us. Millwall also looked pretty poor yesterday so don’t expect them to be far away from the bottom 6.

Max - did not have a great game Wednesday he had to pretty much do nothing. Preston barley put a cross or a shoot in and still maned to score. Yestarday ‘both’ goals he was at fault. The party for the header was not away from goal and not even headed that hard. He pushed it strait back into trouble rather than pushing wide. The second if you come that far our you catch it. Miles to far to come off his line. Max is a poor keeper at this level it’s as simple as that.

Just maybe it is… And thanks I accept

Bentley is better than average. Max is below average. Picking a keeper from the two is very simple - pick the better keeper Bentley. Dont blame Max he was just being Max. Blame Pearson for trying prove a point. He is wrong and no doubt will get it wrong again for at least the next 2 games. When Max plays it normally is during a bad run. If Preston weren’t so bad he could have played 4 and lost 4 with him in goal I fully expect nothing at WBA or Reading then Bentley will be back. We are in bad form and Preston was hiding the truth so I am not blaming results on max be he does not help. Preston must be in with a shout of being relegated - they were the worst team I have seen this season and that is saying something and yet we still conceded with Max in goal.

Not brought this topic about for about 2 years. But sadly Nothing has changed. JD - Can’t beat a man, can’t cross. Sykes - Can beat a man but chooses to come inside not even his position. Both are useless and offer nothing going forward or at the back. We would be better going 4 at the back and getting an extra man in midfield. Vyner can play RB and Pring at LB and just let them overlap when it’s right to do so. Both have pace both better defenders. Height wise they are better for defending. 2 from 3 in the middle - Kalas, Klose or Atkinson. Naismith should be pushed into midfield he is the best passer in the team and can also defend not sure why that won’t work. Play him with Williams or James Play Seymenyo and Wiemann wide in a 4 and they can take turns to join Wellls. Scott in the whole Wells upfront. And Bentley in goal - I am an anti - Maxer. If we had decent wingbacks then fair enough but we don’t so why do we play with wingbacks if we don’t have them….

I blame Person. Dropping Bentley is a ridiculous decision. He had one bad game. Never mind how many times he has saved us single handed and got us a draw or even a 3 points. Max is just not good enough at this level. To say he is better than Bentley is mental. Give home 2 more games and he will be dropped again. So far he’s conceded 3 in 2 by the time he gets to 4 games that will be circa 10. Better than Bentley? It’s just mental to say that. Bentley may have some faults but he is one of the top 3 keepers we have had I the last 20 years. As for Max he is L1 only reason he is the squad is he is cheap and most managers know he will never play. Dont blame Max blame Pearson. If it’s about the contract drop all the others that are out of contract in the summer

Last night Max had to do pretty much nothing all night. Preston we the worst side I have seen all year. He came off his line early and also made a save low down to his right in the second half. The ball barley came in the box and when it did with decent delivery they scored. To be fair Max did nothing wrong but he did not do a lot right either and that’s not his fault. Lets judge Max when we play a decent team and he’s called into action. We played a pretty poor team at home against Coventry and we did not coincide with Bentley I much prefer Bentley and don’t agree with him being dropped. But Max has the shirt and I hope he keeps longer than last time as that means results are going well. But I am not having he made a difference last night.

Bit generous for Sykes Give Klose 9 he was MoM for me Also Preston looked awful team and never really looked like scoring. Worst team I have seen all season.

But he’s not a centre half, right back or midfielder we needed. He plays just off or wide of the front - we have Scott, Wiemann, Seymenyo all better than him so why sign him - pointless signing.

Unless we do something in January we are a bottom 6/8 team. Easier said than done with no money. We never sorted the problems of last year so why will we improve. Stand still and you go backwards. We don’t have a regular RB We have a 5ft LB Centre Half is a mess - Atkinson and Vyner are at best squad players. Kalas and Klose always injured. Naismith has more mistakes in him every 15 mins. Midfield at least 1 very good regular starter short. Thats what I thought at the start of the season and still fill the same. We were last year. Other teams have strengthen we pretty much did nothing. We just go to hope there are 3 worst than us. we got to hope 3 of the list below have bad seasons. Really we need a good points return from below and if we do we should be ok - 25 points ish. Hull, Huddersfield, Wigan, Rotherham, Coventry and maybe Blackpool

Behave Yeah and we could not get back in quick enough… 12th is about 6 places above this team - Like I said we are lucky to have. Everyone has an opinion but in this case you are just the opposite of right. Again we are lucky to have him

Well said

Been our best player for last 2 years. Up there with the best keepers we have had in last 30 years. Gets us about 15 points a season on his own. Makes about 2 goal saving saves a game. Everyone can have an opinion but to look at Bentley as the problem in this team is just madness. We are lucky to have him

Why recruit Sykes and a keeper over a centre half and midfielder we have been screaming out for.

Poor players - Not technical or strong enough add in no movement = poor throw ins. We are slow to use the ball as well mainly because of the above. we only know to throw it down the line to Martin and he’s not played all season.

Maybe we should have…..
