I think Bentley needs to come back, I’m confident that Bentley would have stop some of these goals that Max has conceded. Watching the Cardiff highlights a couple days later you realise we conceded two terrible goals that could have cost us.
First question should be when selecting a goal keeper is ‘who is better at keeping the ball out the net?’. That’s it. All this about playing out from the back, squeezing up, sweeper keeper etc is worthless otherwise.
I thought he looked a bit stronger than when he played last season. There were a few times he followed his man to the half way line to get a foot in.
Ive certainly seen worse defensive performances from experienced defenders,
I’m amazed so many people either have missed the point or are deliberately trying to paint Bentley in a bad light.
People forget Bentley has been one of our best players for years.
It was explained better in another interview.
The rule is that every place is up for grabs and people have to stay in form to keep their spot. They are the rules.
Pearson has spoke about that ‘rule’ a few times.
