Firstyardleftinbed Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I'm sure plenty of people will disagree but I genuinely think Max is a better all round keeper and hope he takes his chance this time. He definitely didnt show it last year when he came in but I saw a bit of him when he was on loan and Shrewsbury a while back and he looked very solid. Bents isnt a bad keeper, just not consistent enough with some of basics. Also, not sure what Pring has/hasn't done to keep missing out. JD offering very little going forward at the moment is hardly a defensive colossus either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

nick jones of hereford Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I share views of those who thought we might have changed our wing backs. However with all the other changes (especially O’Leary & Klose in the starting line up) I guess it would have been a case of too many changes if Pring and/or Tanner started. 2 Quote Link to comment

Guess Max deserves another chance and it's kick up the arse for Bents that was maybe needed. Quote Link to comment

JD offering very little going forward at the moment is hardly a defensive colossus either. I think Bentley is a better shot stopper and one of the few keepers who actually more often than not wins 1:1 situations - at his best he could win you a game. However he doesn't offer as much in terms of positioning and distribution. I think we will see today that Max is more of a sweeper keeper and will receive the ball almost like an outfield player at times. He allow the whole backline to move up and help break lines and give quicker distribution. I likened it before to Man city when Pep arrived and went from Hart to Bravo - hart was better in many ways, but did not let the team play the way the manager wanted. Quote Link to comment
BCFCOFSWEDEN Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 My starting eleven 4-4-2: Bents Tanner, Klose, Atkinson, Pring Semenyo, Williams, Scott, Weimann Wells, Conway Hard for Vyner, Dasilva and Sykes but im sure that Semenyo and Weimann can play on the wings! Dasilva and Sykes dont know how to score and they do far to little assist as well! I really miss Eliasson… The two best players this season so far is Bents and Wells! Ok not last saturday… Coyr! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

But you are dropping the better shot stopper. Real gamble hope it pays off. Never been convinced by MOL. 1 Quote Link to comment

Logical-City Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Congratulations Pearson for seeing sense David Bentley now dropped 4 times in the last 3 seasons for form GET OUT of there you mug By 3 different managers shambles Nice clean sheet tonight I bet Edited October 12, 2022 by Logical-City 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattredrobin Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Wasn't it this time last season Pearson dropped Bentley or was that earlier?. I expected changes tonight but that wasn't one of them. Quote Link to comment
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Evening all! Really need a win tonight, to get out of that 18th position. PNE, unfortunately, seem to have hit form now and will be hard to beat and with Millwall to play on Saturday, who also seem to do well against us, I think it's a must win, if only for morale. So come on boy's get us three points tonight, COYR's. Quote Link to comment

Hopefully Max playing the ball out quicker and more accurately helps avoid some of the errors we've seen recently trying to play out from the back Quote Link to comment

redsquirrel Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 probably got a bit of rotation there too,last time max came in, i saw no reason for him to be dropped for bentley and think it maybe a case of so many games each per season regardless of form even though this time there was a shit show beforehand Quote Link to comment

robinforlife2 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Interesting line up, would have preferred to see Wells over Conway. Tbh, would have stuck Semenyo in Weimann's position, and played Conway and Wells up top. I don't get how Weimann hasn't been dropped. He's been off it for 3/4 games now. Quote Link to comment

I think nige is going through a sensible route by bringing in the regular no 2 keeper and giving oleary his chance before moving onto bajic ,he couldn't bypass oleary as his regular no 2 now its up to max.
