Popular Post formerly known as ivan Posted November 4, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Well done that man. Kicking aside as we know how bad that is, today he won as that game as much as Dickie! That save he made at the end was the equivalent of a 40 yard screamer! Command his box well at times as well. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 His kicking is alright normally, today it stunk a bit mind. But that save wins us points, when it felt a little inevitable we were gonna let one in. Big moment for Max and really happy for that lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You for real, every kick goes straight out or to opposition has done ever since he’s been in the side!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You for real, every kick goes straight out or to opposition has done ever since he’s been in the side!! His short passing is normally very calm and helps us build up from the back. He always shows for it and keeps his head. His long kicking gets more stick than it deserves, he’s got three short forwards to aim at. I think he’s just a scapegoat at times, though I accept his last 3 games have been below par. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Came off his line well, made a couple of good stops but kicking was poor. I like Max but I still think it's an area of the team that needs investment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelton Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Does anyone actually watch other keepers, Sheffield's keeper's was 10 times worse than Max 7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Amazing save and commanded his area well. Continues to show he’s good enough for this level 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I think he is perfectly decent Championship goalkeeper, and I don’t really know why that seems a controversial view. He’s also much better value for money than the guy he replaced in the team. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Unfortunately he has cost us goals which has meant points, he's not good enough consistently for a championship team with aspirations to challenge at the top end of the league. Definitely an area we need to improve on in January, fat chance of that though!!!! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter1450 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 No chance of any kind of upgrade,remember according to those ITK this is a premiership squad in the waiting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 The reality is we got rid of Bentley because he was on huge wages and a decent shot stopper, but his distribution was terrible. The thought was that Max had better distribution skills but that doesn’t seem to be the case. He’s not a bad keeper but he does have mistakes that cost goals and points (e.g. the winning goal for Ipswich) and he wouldn’t be first choice in a team vying for promotion. Just ax we would need more threat up front for that we would also need a better keeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 He earned us points today without a doubt. Problem is, he needs to stop costing us points which he does semi regularly for a keeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nige’s issue with Bentley was more that he didn’t command his box effectively - which to be fair Max does pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNick Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I thought we saw the good and the bad sides of Max in equal measure today. He'd be near the top of my list for a replacement personally but he's doing a decent job for our current level - but not where we want to be imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK is definitely an area we can upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob k Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 If I’m being critical - the wall for the free kick, to me, seemed poorly set up, from my seat there was a clear shot on goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa_bcfc Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 So Mehmeti is awful, Bell misses an absolute sitter, Weinman had another shocker and frankly looks finished, Tanner is probably league 1 and fans pile in on O’Leary. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
