Taz Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Saw something over the weekend about him signing for someone as emergency cover, couldn't remember who it was. Good signing on a free, plenty of experience at this level. Good guy, best of luck of to him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westonred Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 As Bentley is one of the only players with a reasonable transfer value i would probably signed FF on a free and sold Bents (reluctantly) in the Jan window to get some much needed transfer kitty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Glad he’s got himself fixed up, best of luck to him. Top bloke who was excellent in the promotion season & did ok at Championship level, plus of course his wonderful stuff with St Peter’s Hospice. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddBallJim Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Big respect to Frankie Fielding - I recall him doing lots of work with Children’s Hospice South West during his time here with us. On the subject of selling Bentley - he’s a great, great keeper. However we are failing to keep clean sheets (fwiw I don’t feel he is at fault for this). Would selling him generate enough funds to recruit a quality striker? I’m not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not the time for sentimental returns. I think Bentley will want to move on come the summer but unless it was silly money January is not the time. He would need to be replaced as Max scares the life out of me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 To understand how massively underrated Fielding was here you just have to look at some of the rubbish that’s written on these very pages about Bentley. Both good Championship keepers. Fielding won us far more points than he lost. But here on otib we love going for the keepers throat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Frankie is a top, top bloke with a positive energy and a great person to have around a club , like Scotty. He is nowhere near the best keeper , technically that we’ve ever had . His kicking wasn’t very accurate and he never dominated his box but did a job and saw off a number of pretenders for his place as our number 1. I wouldn’t have him back though as much as I love the bloke’s attitude and personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodiesaffer Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Bentley is a good keeper not a great keeper, Great shot stopper yes, keeper no. What is most frustrating with Bentley is his ability to read a cross, could of and should of cut out these crosses low across the six yard box. The second goal Sunday one example. Scared to come out and flatten players on high balls into the box. IMO.. I wouldn’t want him to be sold, these minor problems in his game can be solved with coaching. As for Franky great player for team and the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
