Bentley to have a scan

Bentley and Coker are the two players we need; no coincidence the upturn of form happened once Ben was back.

That said, put Barret or Prosser alongside Thompson and Smith T or P will be better protected

PB already made his decision on Saturday. Would be nice if more on here backed our young keeper, as he has the most difficult position to fill in the whole of L2. If I was a Luton or Wycombe fan i'd be praying that Ted reads this forum.

It's not about backing him or not. For what it's worth I thought he looked very good for a young lad making his debut as a keeper. Problem is, if that defensive performance is relived again this Saturday, we're not doing Ted any favours. I'd stick with him again if Bentley isn't fit, but have a good look at the defensive pairing as they didn't offer him the best protection. I still think he could do with some bulking up as he'll be more confident coming for crosses, but he's got plenty of time to develop further.

I would love to see Barrett and Prosser in front of Ted, I think together they'd offer the experienced and confident presence he needs to shine.

Have to ask the question who do Stevenage want to see more in goal for us? Obviously they want to see little ted in before big paul. I would. So we start paul but still take the away win price about Stevenage. 6/1 was rather easy pickings last week.

I would stick with Ted, as it's better if Bentley stay at home, rather than risking more injury. What worst, that we lose to Stevenage and Bentley is out for the season.

Wouldn't risk Bentley either.

There is no doubt that Ted Smith is going to be a very good goal keeper, but for me he is too lightweight at the moment for league two. Looked vunerable on corners last week due to his slight frame, and Lenny saved his blushes in saving a definate near post goal.
