On the subject of Bennett, he suggests on his Twitter account that he suffers from anxiety. From someone who has suffered from this, I know how debilitating it can be. Hopefully he is getting help dealing with that. I do think he will come good.
I agree on all your points.

Heard several comments in the past about him visibly 'shaking like a leaf' when he's gotten stick from the fans at VT, so maybe there's something to it. There's no reason someone should be immune from such a common condition as anxiety just because they happen to be a footballer.

Sounds like a job for Steve Peters.

I'd like it to be Samir Carruthers.

Now, if we could get him to work with us I'm sure we'd improve.

KEA will come good and surprise a few people next season - thus creating a bit of a selection headache for PL, with GG, Bacuna, Tonev, Sylla, Delph and Westie all playing well!

Not really a surprise, but I am going Delph on this thread too... I chose him as the most likely scapegoat if his firm dips, but equally if it doesn't and he kicks on I think he could make the world cup.

I was just about to say Delph. If he gives us a full season the way he played the last 2 months or so, then he'll be pushing for England recognition. Over the summer he needs to work on his finishing, his right-foot, and certainly his decision making. When he was playing well he made some good surging runs drifting passed people, but because he's runs were made centrally when it came to him needing to shoot he'd be too central to hit it with his left. He didn't trust his right so instead of looking to lay it off simply to the right, he'd immediately try to check back onto his left to get a shot away. Sometimes he would retain possession andget the pass away it was always down the left hand side because of his initial mindset of just shooting, then when you see the opportunity closing, look for the right pass before he's struggling to do it.

Work hard on that - and where he should start making his runs from - and he could be a very good player for us.

Carruthers for me. He has fantastic potential and should have played more in the first eleven last season, in my view.

I think that if Delph gets an early goal he can get into double figures, and turn into the midfield general we've lacked since Andy Townsend.

Delph certainly showed at Leeds he has a goal or two in him, have to say double figures is asking a lot, especially if he is alongside Westood in the middle. Could he do the attacking midfield role?
