Bentley but not a Rolls Royce?


where's the joy

Recommended Posts

According to a die hard Brentford fan who happens to be a good pal.

our new goalie is 'a brilliant shot stopper but, just like Dracula, afraid of crosses'

"he has a mistake in him most games, especially corner kicks,".

sounds very like Frankie to me, although he has age and size on his side

and crucially has terrific distribution, very unlike Frankie!!

From the excellent stats by @Davefevs in another thread.

That bit about crosses sounds quite plausible- the punch/claim ratio when Maenpaa, Bentley and O'Leary compared had Maenpaa on top certainly.

I believe fee or no fee- unless there's injuries or Bentley proves even better in pre-season, Maenapaa may well merit beginning v Leeds as No.1- healthy competition for places should only strengthen us too.

How much of this was caused by those defending in front of him that he never knew whether to come for the ball or not?

He'll have a proper centre back pairing in front of him this season so will be fine :sub::whistle:

Normally about 90%

how many crosses aren’t cut out by a full back

how many shots from distance/edge of the box because of a missed tackle or a midfielder not tracking back

it’s too easy to blame the keeper and something a lot of fans can’t help but do even though it isn’t really the keepers fault
