I  know one thing for certain, i would rather have Bent to bring on from the bench than the likes of Bowery and Holt

I would rather have Bent over those two three years ago.

From what I've seen of all of them of late, I'd rather have Bowery.

I sure hope Bent can have a miracle turn around in form.

I had the bad fortune of watching the last few Fulham games he played in. This is a loanee who was singled out by the Fulham fans for abuse because he was so bad,  the worst performer in a Fulham team that was in freefall..... not really a good sign.

Hopefully, playing for a new contract or a good bosman move will be all the motivation Bent needs.

If we can play to Bent's strengths - getting the ball in the opposition half - we could be on to something here!

The sad thing is, he's a player who is lost and not played much in 12 months and were a club with no direction or style of our own, not a good mix.

Bent is behind Bowery and ahead of Holt for me.

Bowery will run around the full 90 and be a pain in the arse for opposition defences. Bent will not do that.

Assuming neither is going to score (a pretty good assumption) I will go for the energy player upfront.

Harsh? What he's been accused of is bloomin harsh! I wouldn't have him anywhere near my squad of players if there's an ounce of truth in it.

I'm glad we are giving Bent another chance he's still a top player just lost his way a bit I would also have him over Holt and Bowery.
