GOALKEEPER Daniel Bentley was selected among the substitutes against Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday as he has still not fully recovered from a groin injury.

Ted Smith started between the sticks for the third game in succession.

But Blues boss Phil Brown hopes Bentley will be able to step up his rehabilitation this week.

“Dan Bentley has another week now to strike the ball in earnest and he hasn’t really done that just yet,” said Brown.

“We’ve been nursing him through it and I’m waiting for him to tell me he’s 100 per cent fit which he hasn’t done just yet.

“When he does I’ll have another selection headache on my hands.”
