Boycie Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I thought he could have scored the earlier chance, much easier one that. I think he has something to offer still. maybe with us, our an offer from someone else in Jan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 He has had some great chances lately but took the hardest one but at least he is contributing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 He had a good first half and could have scored a couple- got a great goal as well, but don't think he is up to a full 90 minuite game anymore. Still think he has a big role to play, but I wouldn't keep him on for virtually the entire match like we did yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 Ram Raider Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I have personally slated him recently but the last 2 games have shown he can contribute to the team. Stunning goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 That's two games on the trot he has led the line admirably. Since McClaren left first time around, he has been a bit-part player, but now he is getting a run in the side with midfield players who are playing to his strengths, I have a feeling that the goals will come. The transformation we have witnessed in the play of Bradley Johnson over recent weeks has been remarkable - perhaps a similar renaissance will be forthcoming with Darren Bent as the memories of the methods employed under Clement and Pearson fade.

Fun fact, (using fun loosely) Bent is 9 minutes off what he played in the league last season already this year, having featured in 10 less games.

ram1964 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Confidence has a big part to play and not getting game time,being brought on as a sub with ten mins to play cant be good for any striker. A difficult one knowing the permutations of who he plays with especially when Martin was in the squad.However its up to players to cease the oppurtunity and make it difficult for SM to leave them out, lets hope this form continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 He's won a few brownie points over the last 2 games and that goal should be on hub. So I've softened my stance a little but Barry Bent is still not the answer to our striker problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning goal. I'm the same. Personally I think he's one of the clubs least efficient players and although he can do things like he did yesterday he is neither consistent enough or able to negate lack of goals for positives in other areas. If Derby are looking to kick on and have a crack at the play offs or even automatic, there are many more players capable of offering us a bit more of an overall return for less financial outlay. Still have to give Bent credit for yesterday however and I thought he played well against Sheff Wednesday too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodle Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 He wasn't great yesterday. Brilliant finish but looked fooked for most of 2 nd half. My guess is, they have worked so hard in training, he had little left for the game. That said, he is, and always has been, one of the cleverest football brains around. No wonder he links up so well with young William. We should either use him or sell him. It's a shame if whatever talent and energy if left, goes to waste on the bench.
