[Beefy]

Well done Dan Bentley! Doesn't sound like a classic but still a win vs. a higher division team. Bring on the 3rd Round.

Shame that the game as a spectacle was ruined by the weather conditions. However the unbeaten streak goes on...we shall be severely tested on Saturday........two teams brimming with confidence

Excellent stuff, more money in the bank which is needed for sure! Well done Bentley, stepped up with aplomb.

Would be hard to say no, but I'm pretty sure Sturrock will go with Smith if he is fit.

I think Sturrock will and should go with Smith just hope that people arent shouting for Bentley if he makes a mistake as won't do his confidence any good. Great to see Bentley get another chance though and it is so good to have two excellent goalkeepers at the club great for competition.

Muppet! We have a chance to randomly victimise a player for no reason whilst obsessing about another based on one performance. We might even get the chance to hound Smith out and even destroy his career! That plus a round of pointless speculation and whining about the financial management of the club and it would be a happy Xmas indeed. If I could also add some ignorant bigotry then I could look forward to a happy new year.

Daniel Bentley the boy became Daniel Bentley the man tonight. Well done.

Daniel Bentley the boy became Daniel Bentley the man tonight. Well done.

Not just the penalties but he made a string of very good saves. His distribution was good, he was very vocal too. He has seen a fair few keepers come and go and I think he has picked up good bits from all of them. Vocally he reminds me of Belford and some of his kicking is reminiscent of Federici.

No just my opinion smith plays if fit

I wish you had seen Bentley tonight to get a real view. I know you will say I'm biased but Bentley really did play well and you are probably right that Smith will play Saturday if fit but Bentley deserves to keep his place after tonight.

 

[Neil 24]

Fair play roll on saturday most important thing is another win
