Was GUTTED when I heard the news about Benitelli I must admit.
Typical that both Fulham's number 1 (Steklenburg) and 3 (Etheridge) are BOTH injured which meant he sat on the bench yesterday at Carrow Road. Fingers crossed we can get him back.
As for Bavs, A club stalwart that's for sure, as well as being absolutely crackers.
But how long has Bav's been here and been in and out of the side?!?
No doubt about it before his injury a couple of years ago he was the best keeper in the League, those 15 or so games he really was magnificent. The 0-5 away loss at Oxford sticks in my mind. It really could and should have been 0-10 that day if it wasn't for him.
As good a shot stopper as we have ever had, but unfortunately you need more than that at League 2 level. How may clangers have we seen?!?!
IF he goes, which looks likely, I do wish him well. .........
As for Dawber he looked a little shaky yesterday, (especially after the knock he took on his knee) but who can blame him?? His first league start at 19, on boxing day in front of a big crowd. Despite that I thought he did very well. The lads obviously like him and who knows, another couple of games without mistakes and he might stake his claim for the number 1 shirt.
