Dowie: No rift with big Bent

Addicks superemo Iain Dowie has denied a rift with Marcus Bent after the forward snubbed him when he was substituted in the draw away to Newcastle United after making a rare start. 'It was disappointment', Dowie said, 'He wants to play every minute of every game.'

Bent's selection at Newcastle came after an impressive performance against Bolton in the Carling Cup. Whether he will start on Saturday remains to be seen.
