GingerClyde Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 After Bentley's delightful showing yesterday, I think its time Max was given the time between the sticks for us to start coping with Championship life. That or Joe Hart seems to be free now this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Handling and commanding off the box was awful yesterday. Was scrappy infront of him tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Bentley is not the rock steady presence you need at the back . It’s a shame that Maenpaa isn’t five years younger . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud55 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I can understand Signing Bentley, just come of a really poor season, if you can get him back to his form of the years before you have signed a top keeper at this level for very little. For the first half of the season it looked like a good decision, but since the new year the errors have started to creep back in and have been steadily becoming more and more common. Nikki was in possession of the shirt before the break so should have been after barring injury. Especially considering Bents made another error in the Saints friendly.

marcofisher Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 O'Leary surely has to be in with a chance of dislodging Bentley for that number 1 spot next season. Played 30 league games for Shrewsbury out of a possible 34. Must have really seen something in him. Felt from what we saw he was just as impressive a shot stopper as Bentley was at the start of this season. He would have improved dramatically at the other stuff with a full season of league football under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtyseconds Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Like Massengo And Nagy Bentley started well. Then LJ developed them .. Anyway if your Centre backs are dropping to the edge of the six yard box and not heading the globe thingy away what are they doing? Social distancing? What?

RedNachos Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'd rather a keeper who makes every standard save, than one who can make a world-class one but makes lots of simple errors. Brentford agree with me apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I do not like to kick a man when he's down.............but Maenpaa had contrrol of the shirt prior to the break, and should have retained it. Bentley was responsible for 2 of the conceded goals, and looks lacking in confidence. Surely Nicky has to come back for the next game? He has never let us down, and for me is the more reliable keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have improved dramatically at the other stuff with a full season of league football under his belt. Max proved himself Championship capable last season. Bit of work to do on his kicking, especially the speed and speed of thought of opposition attackers in terms of not giving it straight to them. Not quite ready to be number 1, but sometimes you have to be no2 to be ready to take your chance....like he did last season. He has to be no2 next season or move on permanently. Cannot see any benefit in him going on loan again. No2 to Bentley and let Mäenpää go, or move on Bentley and give Mäenpää one final season, so Max takes over in 21/22, or earlier if need be. 1 hour ago, Lez said: Question I have is why did Maenpaa let himself sit on the bench for Brighton for God knows how many years It was only two years, one as deputy to Matt Ryan the other to Stockdake.

redpole Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 For me DB should stay in goal for the season. Quicker off his line, always looking to shift the ball early, not his fault if he’s not got the options and players don’t find the space. When you have a good goalie who likes to play out from the back, it’s all about options and defenders dropping in to get the ball or midfielders showing. a goalkeeper is always a easy target. Just like yesterday everyone blaming him for the first goal, if I’m a defender I take control in the 6 yard box no matter if he calls it gets sent long!

winsaw Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Max should be our keeper for the rest of the season, his loan is over, he's had a far more consistent season than Bentley making far fewer mistakes, Bentley to me was always the club taking a punt hoping they could get him back to the level he was at 3 season back when some prem sides where Looking at him sadly it's looking more and more like he's never going to get his head right and hit those high levels again , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 We all want promotion yet some are saying O Leary should be starting next season. He has yet to play in the champ on a regular basis and while did well for us in his spell last season he also looked very ropey at times. A good champ loan for him would be perfect towards the lower end as I doubt clubs will be in for him as a starting keeper. As for Bentley, initially outstanding but been awful since crimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no difference that Max is our player, we transferred (temporarily) his registration to Shrewsbury last summer. Same if Benik went to Stoke, he couldn’t play for them.
