Dredd Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 If Bentley isn’t signing the contract that’s been on the table for quite a while then if performances drop why should Pearson keep him in the team? Theres a choice to give someone an opportunity who will be here next year. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think we need to have an eye on the future but I'd hate to go back to the days under Gary Johnson where we sometimes cut our nose off to spite our face by freezing out players in the last year of their contract who could still bring something to the team. I think whoever is doing the best in training should get the shirt but would agree that - where there is not a lot to choose between the goalkeepers - it's better to give a chance to someone who can make a case for the long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I agree too. You’d expect Kalas to work his way back into the starting line up, I think Wells is in his last year and has played his way into the 11 (bar last night). Bentley and HNM might find themselves as cover now depending on situations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 oh dear oh dear. Frankie Fielding, lovely bloke, but a pretty dodgy keeper. Bentley is far better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Pearson is more pragmatic. He’s also said on more than one occasion that he doesn’t take account of the contracts situation in team selection. The sensible way is if a player adds value to the team with there being either no other options or the alternatives aren’t as likely to perform as well, an out of contract player at the end of this Season plays. That seems to the Pearson way at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthS22 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thanks for this thread, needed a good laugh after a difficult day. Frankie Fielding, loved the bloke, but dear or dear. The one thing I do miss is the way he booted the ball straight out from a goal kick. My memory might have inflated the number, but it seemed like at least 5 times a game. He was still doing at Millwall, and still getting cheered by the City fans when we went to the cup game there a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Better Red Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 7 hours ago, Carey 6 said: We conceded 23 in the 9 games he was in goal last season. I don't think the defence looked confident at all. But yes, good save last night when we needed him & should remain in place until his form drops as you said. Last night Max had to do pretty much nothing all night. Preston we the worst side I have seen all year. He came off his line early and also made a save low down to his right in the second half. The ball barley came in the box and when it did with decent delivery they scored. To be fair Max did nothing wrong but he did not do a lot right either and that’s not his fault. Lets judge Max when we play a decent team and he’s called into action. We played a pretty poor team at home against Coventry and we did not coincide with Bentley I much prefer Bentley and don’t agree with him being dropped. But Max has the shirt and I hope he keeps longer than last time as that means results are going well. But I am not having he made a difference last night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. The best keeper we have had at the club since we have been back at this level IMO. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
