Luke Daniels

[cerbera45]

With Ben Foster's injury, Daniels has been on the bench for West Brom in the last few games

 

[Beefy]

And with Foster going off injured today Luke has just made his Premier League debut

 

[Silencer]

And kept a clean sheet :thumbsup:

 

[tia]

I read that this morning.Keeping a clean sheet is a very good start.Looked decent when we had him

 

[sufc_dave]

Although they hit the woodwork twice in the 10 or so minutes he was on haha

So he didn't need to save them, not his problem

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Can't believe he's been there 9 years!

Not good enough for young, English players to be sitting, twiddling their thumbs!

 

[sufc_dave]

Yeah, he had them covered.... :unsure:

 

[Davros]

Another clean sheet in his first start for WBA, albeit vs Newport

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

I hope he get another clean sheet tomorrow too, a good run in the team, Foster might not be needed then!

Started tonight against Arsenal in the league cup.

and saved a penalty which should have sent WBA through, untill two of his team mates decided to miss the target with theirs :nope:

 

[Ricey]

He has been made available for loan by WBA.

Don't quite understand why WBA retain him. Clearly he's never going to play for their first team, and he's mid 20s now.

Suppose he is a decent third keeper and don't imagine he is on much by prem standards but I agree.

Shows whats wrong with modern football really. He's happy to just sit there collecting a wage.

He could be a very good keeper at League One / Bottom half of the Championship 1st choice keeper and actually advance his game.

Suppose from his point if view he can earn more as third choice with WBA than first choice with a club lower. He has a wife and a kid to support so maybe his morals go out the window. Short career and PFA pension continuation us 5% of income so higher his income more he saves. Less chance of injury, longevity etc.

Agree with you but don't blame him either. It's just a job to him.

Maybe they've been playing FIFA for last couple of seasons and hoping he turns out like he does on there!

There are 'only' 92 #1 jerseys available, and with keepers having longer careers than most then it's difficult being a young keeper to get an opportunity. That's why Bentley needs to stay with us as long as possible to develop.

When you say as long as possible, what you really mean is until we can't develop him any further!
