Steve can’t afford to sack him, Steve can’t be arsed to sack him, Steve ain’t sacking him. That might disappoint you but you (and a few others) really need to accept that and deal with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know if any of the above were available or not? Man C named 2 keepers fri night so maybe even they struggle to name 9 subs during a time of the season where injuries are common & you can add Covid into that mix of course.

He is always with the match day squad as back up keeper in case anything happens to Max or Bents so why not reward him when there are 9 subs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Because why not? It is a cup game and if the worst was to happen and Max was injured, why not throw the young lad on and see how he does? No point risking Bentley at that point as you’d need him for the league. Pretty sure he has basically been involved in every match day anyway. Not on bench but always there home and away helping in warmups. Maybe just a little incentive for being so professional? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Nige said of Bents, "He knows the rules" and I guess he may have broken one of them, e.g. putting on weight over Christmas or arriving late/pissed for training or something like that. Max has done well enough to keep his place and Bents may not get his chance until he loses those Chriatmas pounds and/or if Max's form dips. We shall see. Of course there is also speculation that Southampton are going to pay us a load of dosh for him during the January window.

In which case, why have Bentley sat there as well? For once, I do agree with HR that it seems a bizarre and curious thing to do. The likelihood of having two keepers injured in a game is almost zero, however the likelihood of having several outfield players crocked is much higher and we had people there available as emergency back-up but not on the bench because we chose two goalies. In the end, it makes no difference because existing players performed well and we didn't even need to make our fifth sub until the last half of E/T. It still strikes me as odd though. As did the starting line-up of the Millwall game. You can support the positive progress Pearson is having here and still question his judgement at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given 7 other subs to cover 10 positions, not necessarily madness, particularly as also gave Wiles-Richards the matchday experience others have alluded to.

Big C Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 If Max had to go off and the game was still in the balance then Bents probably would have come on if not then Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Yesterday, I think it was Blackburn who played their #2 on the basis that they could not be sure that the #1 would not go down with COVID at any stage. I’d guess something similar here - there was probably no intent to play Wiles-Richards but it was to have him involved in the match day squad (I know he already joins in the warm up) in case he is needed for real, either on the bench or starting, of which the chances are higher than normal currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towler was cup tied, Bakinson has COVID, Cundy is just making his way back from long term absence & Tanner, Baker & Williams are all injured. Seems clear that Simpson, Britton & Morton (who might be injured anyway) have no future with us, so highly unlikely one of them would be involved.

Yep- I think we should assume Simpson’s absence, so he can’t even make a 9 man subs bench when the 6 I mentioned above are all absent, effectively confirms he isn’t going to feature for us again. I doubt we will go as far as ending his contract early but to me it has already happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) I miss the days of the stand in keeper. Tinnion's worldy in front of the East End against Shrewsbury Town? I seem to remember. Proper football days. I ******* hate so much about the modern game and all its self-importance bollocks. The game has been over thought, over examined, and it's much the poorer for it, if you ask me.

Not sure, if I had money on someone doing that in time I’d think Andy King is the more likely. Simpson already does media stuff for BT, doesn’t he?
