And that our next signing should be a keeper? Sorry he can make all the random world class saves he wants but give me a steady reliable safe hands keeper all day Are you sure you don't mean Fenella Fielding? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: I see the second goal as being one he couldn’t do anything about. The first and third he is as culpable as one or two other players. First one, he back-pedals and stops. If he continues and tries to punch, there’s a good chance he puts Trusty off as a minimum. Third one, great delivery, but what is he doing, that’s his all-day long. There is no doubt in my mind: he is better than O’Leary he is capable of making fantastic saves, and does so regularly he is a totally capable Championship keeper for where we are currently but, he doesn’t command his area, and I think that creates a lack of confidence in those in-front of him. As for the OP, Frank Fielding suffered from exactly the same problems too, as does Max. For me the best keeper we’ve had since we’ve been back in the Champ was Maenpaa. For me he had the perfect all-round “game”. Was big too. He didn’t really need to make big saves, just calm and composed. It’s a shame Lucic didn’t put the effort in, because he was a great build too, good with both feet and had that bit of confidence too. If so the OP is insinuating Bents is my favourite player, I’m not sure what they’ve been drinking / smoking. I agree with @LondonBristolianthat there is a gap for a better keeper. I hope Bajic can fill that gap. Its a shame the best two keepers in Lg1 (Cooper and Walton) will be out of our budget range. Yes, agree with nearly all of that and I’ve always been a fan of Bents. Maybe I’m being harsh but for the second goal but from our view just behind it felt like time seemed to stop and we were all waiting for our keeper to appear and dive on it, clear it at least do something but he didn’t seem to react at all. Most around us were of the same opinion but I haven’t seen it back from any other view. As I said, I can’t comment on O’Leary as I haven’t personally seen him play for however many months he was last in favour. Hopefully he’s continued his improvement but am happy for Nige to make that decision. Next time we’re playing at St Andrews I’m borrowing your SatNav and taking my clubs .

Bazooka Joe Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Bentley is not as good as some say he is, and probably not as bad as others say he is. For me, he's a pretty average keeper, nothing more, nothing less. Seen a lot better, seen a lot worse. Overall, he's probably not as good as he thinks he is. A good mate of mine thinks Bentley is a Nissan Micra in disguise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Maenpaa was better never put a foot wrong with the basics which is what you need, get that right and you won’t require the last ditch defending and reaction saves he encourages with his game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 4 hours ago, ExiledAjax said: Daniel Bentley is the championship goalkeeper who has faced the 4th highest number of shots on target. He's allowed the 3rd highest number of goals per 90 minutes. His save % is 63% which is low compared to his peers, most of who have a save % of around 70%. But he's also face the 5th highest xG from open play, and the 2nd highest xG from set pieces. Levelling all blame for our concessions at his door is to grossly ignore the fact that he's faced a very high number of decent shots and chances. Those shots and chances are allowed by the 10 other players in our team. He's a solid goalkeeper, we'd struggle to replace him with equal or better, and he's obviously better than Frankie Fielding. He was poor yesterday. Yes, we do have problems defensively but there is no way you can say that Bentley shouldn’t take a share of the responsibility for that, especially when you look at games like Wigan and yesterday. I can guarantee that Nige would have asked either him and/or Pat Mountain a few questions after 5pm yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logical-City Posted October 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) I recalled a similar fascination amongst fans and pundits with Steve Phillips another flapper but in a lower league, what happened when we dropped him after 6 seasons of bottling and showboat random saves to cover up for the basic errors and anxiety he spread amongst defenders we got promoted and made a championship play off final Im not saying that will happen just saying Daniel or David Bentley is crap Edited October 9, 2022 by Logical-City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get that one wrong and the Brum game could pale into insignificance and destroy a young career. Bentley is far from perfect and don’t reckon there’s anyone denying that, but there are just as many issues elsewhere on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
