Bettinelli

[Hatch007]

Has Bettinelli been injured? SJ mentioned Ayite, Ream and Mawsom being injured in his press conference's but no reference to Marcus being injured.

Because he is no longer injured, hence on the bench tomorrow. SJ was mentioning the players that are unavailable tomorrow through injury, of which Betts is not one

I feel bad for Betts.  Really like as he is Fulham through and through yet the last three seasons he finds himself playing back-up instead of number one.  For me, if he is not injured then he should be given the chance at number one.  Don't buy that he is a championship level keeper as we have never seen him at the prem level. 

Give him a chance Slav.

Betts isn't injured - he tweeted this earlier:

"Good luck to the boys today and thanks for the reception from the cottage when i came out. For everybody thats asking.... I am not injured! Good luck lads".

Based on what I've read on Twitter it sounds like he might be going out on loan, possibly to Bristol City.

How is Betts not our number #1... pathetic

[Woolly Mammoth]

He's currently head and shoulders above Fabri, literately.

That is a travesty if true. He 100% deserved to start the season in goal for us, Im gutted if that's the case

I think we're all over rating Betts a bit. Decent keeper but I never saw him as PL standard last season. Granted Fabri looked poor today. We can't really afford to try him out, Rico will be no 1.

[Steeeeeeeeeed]

Definitely deserves a statue outside the cottage of him running with the flare.

Obviously easy to say now, but with the large number of changes to the team today, maybe keeping Bettineli in as part of the back bone would have made sense at least for the first game or two.

Ah well.

[alfie]

Well it is Slavs decision to make not ours

Bettinelli has never played with Chambers, Le Marchand and Bryan in a competitive game.

Well he is, look at his shirt.

It wasn't long ago when every corner kick we defended was a potential goal because Bettinelli didn't have a clue where to position himself. I am one of the few of these people who prefer a new goalie, sry.


I must admit Fabri wasn't very good today

I also think Betts is overhyped. I can understand the desire for one of our own to succeed. We have to hope Rico is the real deal because Fabri looks nervy and indecisive. Key to staying up is getting early points on the board.
