Mantis Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Amazing how when he scores goals certain posters are silent yet as soon as they doesn't score/have a good game they're all over him. And no Woody I am not referring to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The amount of times the ball was hoofed out of defence aimed at him to run onto today was amazing, he is not that type of player. Sure he missed a chance or two today but he got into those positions which considering the shite way we played was amazing To call him lazy or idle based on the game today is plain wrong, for me he was neither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesWithe Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Needs more service from Downing and Young...ohh wait :bonk: no chance today no service due to our defensive outlook for long periods (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 In regards to service to Bent I think we miss Walker more than Young/Downing, more of an unknown quantity putting the balls in and opposition sides didn't take as much notice of him as they did of Young and Downing.

Woodytom Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 no chance today no service due to our defensive outlook for long periods (again) You missed the 3 chances created for him then?? Although I must say, having watched them back, I was wrong to call them sitters. He should have scored at least 1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2012 Didn't think he was great today. Neither was he awful. Not enough service, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It was is birthday today. Strange the club did t use it's social networking pages to let fans know and to pass on happy birthday wishes to him. They do normally. Anywho. Frustrating on Sunday. Expect him to still bag a few more this term. (as long as we don't keep taking zog off for heskey to provide the service) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 like Bent would go to Liverpool, with Downing it's understandable as their wingers were non existent or shit. they have suarez, carroll and kuyt who unlike a lot of liverpool fans has been one of their best players this year. always scores crucial goals. not that we ever could but getting rid of heskey and getting kuyt would be the signing of the summer. Also Bent has been scoring goals. he is scoring 1 in 2 ffs. who was the last striker to do that for us whos played more than a season for us? I don't think there one in the last 20 years. Even Yorke was 1 in 3.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think to get 10 goals so far this season under a dreadful manager like McLeish AND without Young, Walker and Downing is phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Everyone knows that bent has the quality to bang goals in, he has done it at all the other clubs he has been in... he is NOT a target man, he struggles to hold the ball in his feet we all saw this against Newcastle, and with Mcleish Second half tactics ( Pumping it forward) he will never score loads, he has done well just to get how many he has got not tbh. The only times i re-call when bent had chances at goal was when he was thread with a through ball from Keane or ireland.. But even then he had 2 chances and failed to convert any of them.

Villastine Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If Harry takes the England job it could be bad news for Bent or good news for Redknapp's missus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irreverentad Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yup it will be very interesting to see what happens there. He certainly won't be first choice with Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
