Bizzarre but entertaining. Note the the clueless lino who still cant make a decision on what to do.

Think he's defo the number one and also has the armband. Just setup a goal against Sheff Utd.

Yes,he’s back in the team for now.
In the only game I’ve watched closely—at home 2-2 v my struggling favourites WBA—he gave us 1)our penalty by floundering for a cross,punching Kyle Bartley’s face not the ball ! 2)the second equaliser at his near post in injury time.

Ahh, the old "beaten at the near post myth". Read this:

currently well out of favour with Nigel Pearson at Bristol City

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Weird to blame him when they can't create chances and just play long balls all day.

 

[Barling Magna]

Loan him to us Nige........

 

[Ricey]

Wasn’t he the captain for a bit?

He was.....somethings happened

Yes,lots of serious blunders and the emergence of a better,younger keeper — O’Leary.

This!!!!

Was never as good as he thought he was.
Probably better than Bishop (Man Utd, how’d that happen?) but not in the same League as a fit Arnie

Think someone has been working their way through the left over Christmas alcohol.

Haha, put it this way, I was happier with Arnie than Mr.Flash Bentley who now as it seems will soon be finding his right level, League 1
All about opinions but damn sure a fit Arnie is better than League 2 Oxley and in his prime and fit Arnold would make a very decent League 1 keeper.
Bentley for me overrated and will be coming our way soon….League wise?

It’s all relative.

Oxley won player of the season for us and in the latter part played with one of if not the worst defences we’ve ever had.

Bentley was excellent with us, his shot stopping and penalty saves were outstanding. He wasn’t the finished article otherwise he would’ve gone onto better. But he’s had a pretty decent career since leaving us and just because he’s fallen out with the manager now doesn’t mean he’s going to end up falling from grace.

Arnold is very good from what I’ve seen, but this is at national League level. He looked good with **** defence to start and then looked better when Lopata came in. But to say he’s better than Oxley and Bentley after one season in the National League is ludicrous.

 

[Mad Dog Shrimper]

Bentley was quality for us. I don't think that I've seen a goalkeeper save so many penalties for us, plus his shot stopping was amazing. I put him up there with Sansome, Royce and Flahavan as one of the best GK's that I've seen at our club.

I’m sure it’s not a. question of Bentley falling out with manager Nigel Pearson—he’s had long spells benched under previous managers eg at low-championship Brentford where our former keeper Luke Daniels was very often preferred.

But if you look at his career he has had stints on the bench and worked his way back into the team.

He is a Championship quality keeper and one of our best talents to come through our youth system (yes I know he wasn’t a child when with us). We should celebrate his success and hound idiotic managers who leave him on the bench.
