Said that Darren Bent is unlikely to feature tomorrow due to a thigh problem! Anyone else heard this or do we think Pards is playing mind games.

No Benty = No win cos I can't see JFH, Lisbie or M. Bent (if fit) producing the goods.

  • Pardews says he is 90% sure he'll play! (Bent that is not himself!!)

    marcus is unlikely to play...
  • It was on SSN as well. Pards said he had a knock and felt he owed it to Darren and the fans to let it be known he wasn't fully fit. To be honest i'm surprised with him saying it though, as he's usually so positive and letting the opposition know that your best player isn't fully fit isn't doing us any favours is it.

    unless he's playing mind games with warnock...
  • But he did go onto say that Bent was still likely to play so where's the mind games? Mind games would be saying he wasn't fit and wouldn't make it surely?

    Dont know about mind games but this is a disaster if true.

    Piggbank and Super Kev up front.
  • Would prefer one of them up front with ZZ just behind. But he did say Bent was likely to play. Let's be honest even at 70% fit he's better than the other options.

  • Surely a not fully fit D Bent is better than anything else we've got.

    I heard it at 8:30, but was half asleep at the time, and they haven't played it since, so was beginning to wonder whether I'd dreamed it.

    I suspect Bent may not start the match but be on the subs bench, or will start but only play 60mins, and this is a way of preparing us for the fact in an attempt to minimise the collective jitters, with the added bonus of playing midgames with Warnock. Personally though, if I was Pards, I'd be locking Lisbie in a room with a video of his Liverpool hat-trick today, in the hope that it makes him more up for it tomorrow.

    Bents been playing while not being fully fit for the past 6 games now. A case of strap him up and get him on the pitch.
