Joe Bennett
« on: July 09, 2016, 11:13:53 PM »
He scored2 free kicks today. Is he worth re-evaluating for the Chmpoinship season? He's been out of the picture for so long it would almost be like signing a new player. I never rated him in the Premier League though..

Let's wait to see what he is like versus proper competition. just because he scored two free kicks isn't any indication as to how we will do against Championship level opponents in his actual position. And he's at most a back up to Amavi. I don't expect Cissokho to be here when the season kicks off.

If he's improved enough to merit being part of the squad, great. It would allow us to focus on other areas.

Jesus Christ I genuinely thought he'd gone for good. He's fuckin hopeless, get rid. Cancel his contract or something, just don't play him ever again.

Joe Bennett as left back and Jordan Amavi on the left wing both interchanging in this division could work

I'll wait till he's done it against someone other than a bunch of Austrian plumbers and postmen.

To be fair, he has done for a season with Sheffield Wednesday.

To be fair, he probably deserves a chance to show what he can do before we're so quick to fk him off.

I have a more charitable view and always felt there was some hint of a player there.
Let's wait and see if he can reclaim a team slot on merit.

That is how I see it, he got caught out defensively too often but he certainly has ability with the ball. If the manager can get that side of his game sorted out then he might be a useful player to have in the squad.

I agree with these views. He has some skill. Could be a valuable squad member

I think the problem with most of the squad is they were coached badly, they arrive start off well then our coaching or lack of it kicked in and form and confidence took a dive.
