Even if Jose Sa is healthy enough to play against Nottingham Forest this weekend, two out of every three Wolves supporters want Dan Bentley to remain in goal.
In Tuesday night’s 1-0 victory over Burnley, Bentley made two incredible saves to first stop Josh Brownhill and then Jay Rodriguez.
The goalie had not conceded in the 23rd minute of the match against Arsenal, when he replaced the injured Sa. It was his second “clean sheet” in four days.
65% of the more than 3000 voters choose the 30-year-old to remain in the starting lineup, even though Gary O’Neil predicted the Wolves’ top player would be back for the weekend following a back injury.
He had been at Molineux for eighteen months, spending much of that time either as a striker or on the left side of midfield, before he was back in August 2008.
Following the devastating injury to regular left back George Elokobi, manager Mick McCarthy made hints in his pregame press conference about having identified the ideal replacement.
“I visited clubs to network with professionals in various off-field roles, like as Scott Sellars, the former technical director of Wolves, who was incredibly helpful in guiding me and helping me choose what fields would be best for me.
“I also had the good fortune to spend some time with a friend who was employed by Manchester City as the pathways manager in the loans department, which gave me the opportunity to talk to people I otherwise would not have.”
