I've defended Ben for many years on here, but all we're doing bringing Ben in is kicking the issue down the road.
Ben's not getting any younger; he's 37 and this could be his last season at the club. If we go with Ben as first choice this season then we could be left with a twice-dropped Corey Addai and a couple of young lads.
Addai earned his place in the absence of Ben last season and rightly started the season as number 1 and should continue as number 1 unless he has a serious run of bad performances.
For me, he should have saved Sarcevic's goal last night, but at the same time he made some big saves. He's made several big saves this season already and has been one of our better players.
Sticking with Addai now will be more beneficial in the long run than bringing Ben back in 4 games into the new season.
