... how was it for you?

For me it was just very pleasing to have a striker who knows his role. It was reassuring to see. OK, Barnes would have had TWO goals today, and a second Albion player in the box occasionally would have been nice, but at least the rest of the mainly headless chickens now have a genuine target man to aim for, in the absence of any other flashes of inspiration. And DB will only get sharper with game play. Hoorah!

Looks more threatening than any forward so far this season.

But probably should have scored two other very good chances. Was unlucky with the header hitting the keepers foot, but should have scored the one on one.

Silly celebration only helped the Fulham fans and possibly their players?

3 good chances abd a goal. He will score goals at this level and the sharper he gets the better he will be

 

[HantsSeagull]

made a difference. unlike the manager.

Surprised how pacey he looked. No doubt he will score goals at this level.

 

[carteater]

good goal, stupid reaction, geed the fulham fans and players up, they won, now he's sitting there with egg on his face.

Damn it - I hadn't noticed that his initials are also DB. That explains why we got him! Bound to fail too!

My mate next to the Fulham fans reckon they were giving him loads of stick before he scored.

What a change to someone with absolutely genuine pace for a big man. Class act!

It's amazing the difference it makes having a striker that the rest of the team are keen to play 'the' pass too.

Nobody was making Bent run into blind alleys towards the corner flag.
But most importantly we greatly reduced the amount woeful pointless shots from 30 yards.

Onwards and as the prophet Yazz once said:-
The only way is up.

 

[Sompting_Seagull]

Shouldn't have goaded them. Worked up the players and fans. Good debut though, as in he's got the lucky touch of a top striker that can scuff a shot and it will go in.

 

[Mackenzie]

Looked a bit rusty, will certainly be a threat for us though especially if we can extend the loan and give him matches.

 

[MattBackHome]

The celebration was one of my highlights of the season so far.

Other than that I thought he looked really really good. Unlucky with the first header, got another couple on target, would have had many more chances had Kaz stayed on. More of the same please, Dazza.

I'm just being holistic.

Give a man a fish and he can feed his family for a week. Give a man a fishing rod and he can keep a team in the second tier of English Football.


Sorry, I'm not very good at Metaphors, to clarify; Darrent Bent is a fish.

Certainly got the Fulham fans singing for the first time in the game, though the goal may have done that anyway. Players? Nah. We scored against the run of play and the game continued as it had been going.

A striker with a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove is a good thing imo. Get Hyypia out and utilise Bent to get some points on the board while we have him.

 

[Seagull]

He looked decent and was unlucky that header hit the keeper's shin. First forward this season who looks a danger. With more matches he'll improve and we sure need it on today's offering.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

I enjoyed his performance and the celebration. I don't believe for a moment that the latter had any effect on the game. It did, however, lead to a better than normal atmosphere.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, you aren't good at metaphors. However, who is the fishing rod you refer to that is going to save us?

 

[Dan Aitch]

I was absolutely gobsmacked we didn't put Sam Baldock up-front to play off him. Really I was.

Good point, well made. You're shite at metaphors

Bent....A threat up front...Great to see...won ball in the air numerous times.....scored then meltdown....we deserved to lose. Colunga`s red card...not bothered,he was poor....Solly March back and looked good....Lua Lua shouldn`t have been on till last quarter..never seen him play good full game.he`s a last twenty impact player.
