Correct, if you kept a spine of Given - Dunne - Petrov - Gabby - Bent, I think we then should bring on the kids in the other positions instead of watching the fading years of Collins, Heskey & Warnock going through the motions
Bent has missed too many sitters this season, why I'm not sure, confidence ? Bad Luck ? lack of concentration ?

We don't need cheaper replacements on less wages, we should be bold enough to let the kids play more - Clark, Baker, Lichaj, Gardner, Bannan, Fonz, Albrighton, Herd, Johnson etc etc.
