When we head to Derby next week i'll feel a lot more confident about us getting a result if Bent leads the line.
Six games leading up to the end of December. Three at home and three away. If we could reach 31 or so points that would be canny.
Fulham(w), Derby(d), Millwall(w), Wolves(w)...
I'm guessing the reason why Villa would not be willing to loan Bent to another Premier League struggler is the same reason Mourinho didn't let Arsenal have Ba on loan last season. The fear of the unknown. It could well come back to haunt them. The Championship is a safer haven.
