Pre-season 25-26

[Jinky]

I also noticed last night how quiet we are on the pitch. Remember when we had Coady in the centre of defence and in these pre-season matches you used to hear his voice bellowing instructions around the ground? We didn’t have anyone vocal on the pitch, organising, taking responsibility last night. It was even mentioned on comms by Burrows & the awful Naylor. I get everyone’s different and I don’t expect Agbadou to suddenly turn into Conor Coady - but we were so sloppy defensively and seemed to lack basic organisation. Not helped of course by Dan Bentley letting anything remotely hit with some pace in to his goal.

Agbadou clearly doesn't want to be, or VP doesn't want him to be captain, with Toti and Doc being captains so far this pre season.

I know I bang on about this a lot, but captaincy is important, particularly in a side that's going to struggle.

We've seen it in a positive way with Coady and Semedo and also in a negative with Lemina and Johnson.

The way Joao plays I'd like him to be captain, but perhaps due to his speech issues it's not viable.

U guys need put one video to Sa.

And asking, by u are nervous with the ball: look this video..

And the video show Rene Higuita dribbling rivals.

Bentley was in goal second half.

I am taking Bentz playing over Sammy Sicknote that a move is close for our previous number 1. Was linked with Burnley over the weekend

 

[Jinky]

Bentz is absolutely shit. We need to get rid of Johnstone and sign a legitimate number 2, so Bentley can move back to his rightful position of number 3.

We absolutely do.

But it's not going to happen.

Bentley will be our no.2

Remember, the original GON/Hobbs idea was to buy Johnstone and sell Sa, Bentley would have been SJ's no.2 had Sa left.

Remember last summer, Arsenal were trying to sign Bentley and offered something like 50k and we asked for £1m

Bentley wouldn't be an acceptable keeper at League 1 level. Carl Ikeme was a much better keeper than him and I didn't rate him at all.

He's our worst keeper (that plays) since Lonergan.

Ikeme was absolutely shit, I'd say marginally worse than Bentley.

Mind you it's like arguing who was worse, Joachim Björklund or Oleg Luzhnyi.

Remember that player we signed ages ago..
