Wolves fans make shock selection ahead of Nottingham Forest clash
Two in three Wolves fans want Dan Bentley to keep his place in goal this weekend, even if Jose Sa is fit to face Nottingham Forest.
Bentley produced a stunning double save during Tuesday night's 1-0 win over Burnley to deny Jay Rodriguez and then Josh Brownhill.
It was the goalkeeper's second 'clean sheet' in four days after replacing the injured Sa at Arsenal in the 23rd minute and not conceding .
65% of the 3000+ voters want the 30-year-old to keep his place despite Gary O'Neil saying the Wolves number one would most likely be fit for the weekend after a back injury.
Wolves fan Chris Fischer said, ' Go with the man with the hot gloves,' while Stu Hall wrote, 'I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but to drop Bentley after his performance in the last 1.75 games would be incredibly harsh.'
But not all fans were in agreement, ' Recency bias coming in here. Arsenal hit the post two or three times and he was lucky to keep a clean sheet. Statistically Sa is one of the top ten keepers in the Premier League,' said Joe Cleere.
Bentley signed a two-and-a-half year deal in January from Bristol City and had already featured in the 5-0 win over Blackpool and the 3-2 defeat at Ipswich in the Carabao Cup earlier this season.
Sa recently won his first senior international cap after being named in the starting line-up for Portugal's 2-0 Euro 24 qualifying win over Leichtenstein.
