sage Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 If we aren't going to give Bent at least 5 minutes when we drawing 0-0 at home and have only made 2 subs then when are we going to play a £20k a week striker in the championship.This is not having a go at Bent, just querying his existence/function at this club.

Alph Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 When you and Bris were saying he doesn't fit the only reason I didn't 100% agree was because Clement had all these ideas about formations etc.He certainly was never going to get in ahead of Martin in Mac's system. Had McClaren bought him I'd say he'll have to get used to the bench. But it seems PC has decided to go with what was already here. So yeah, in 433 where does he get a kick? You have to change the whole system to suit him or you haul Martin off. Bent must be so frustrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 exacty, when you are dominating at home and your DM is coming off, why bring on another and not a striker ?? that was perfect for Bent, the ball never left their box. Dont get it at all.Mac was always attack minded, Clement seems happy with a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The time has come now for Clement to up our attacking flair, tempo and focus. We are solid enough at the back for top 2. If we include Hanson (who can play CB) we had 4 defenders on the bench tonight. There is no need. We are getting players forward but it isn't working in the final third. Time and again the shot is poor, the movement is poor, the passing is poor, the tempo is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodypecker Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Disappointed Bent didn't get 15-20 mins or so against Burnley. Seemed to be a scenario begging for his intervention.Bent scored and created several goals at crucial, late stages last season and added zest and finishing power to tip games Derby's way.He would have ensured that we kept Burnley on the back foot and perhaps made them sit deep, letting us get closer to goal.Wonder what Kevin Phillips will suggest to Clement about the deployment of Bent? Hope it's: "send him on!"Remember that Simmo sometimes used to tell Steve Mac to 'go for it' with an attacking sub - and it worked.Hopefully, Kev can coach the ones who did stay on the pitch to get the ball out of their feet and clobber it hard and early on target, so that we can turn possession and territorial dominance into goals and points....

Carl Sagan Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Agree with /profile/753-sage/">@sage. I'm a very big fan of Darren Bent, but it's pointless having him at the club if Clement refuses to play him in situations such as tonight, It's not the first time this season. As things stand we are falling behind the leading pack because we're not being sufficiently adventurous. At Real Madrid it was probably considered unthinkable to lose. However, draws are largely futile in the Championship. You have to win. We have a phenomenal goalscorer in our squad; we didn't play him and despite all our dominance in terms of territory and possession, we never looked like scoring a goal.

Duracell Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Of course it's tempting to bring him on, but by taking off a midfielder and putting Bent up with Martin, you're stretching the game and asking for trouble from a Burnley side who were waiting for that to happen all game.They're happy with their point, but they were set up to snatch all three on the counter.

Inglorius Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Clement gets criticised for not bringing Bent on he also would have got criticised for stretching the game as Duracell put it then get landed with a Burnley sucker punch and losing the game I guess all Clement needs to do is win every game easy eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 people do realise it's almost a 50 game season? Bent will get plenty of game time if he avoids injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 If we are going to continue putting so many crosses in the box as last night, I'd like to see Bent in the box rather than Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
