Until we've signed another left back, Bennett deserves a chance. He had a good pre-season. Cissokho is a shambles. Bennett > Cissokho.
You have two choices:
Cissokho- Crap at defending, crap on the ball, crap going forward.
Bennett- Crap at defending, okay on the ball, okay going forward.

No brainer.

That Aston Villa Faithful account is a real crock of shit, another who uses whatever crap they read in the tabloids as an 'ITK'.

Might give the 'Dr' until a week after the transfer window closes before he has Twitter taken off him.

Can we safely assume one J.Bennett is the first name on the team sheet against Rotherham?

Amidst the mountains being made out of molehills this is absolutely no different to a board refusing to pay over the odds for a player.
Unless of course the good Dr has said he must play him?

Of which there's no indication, anywhere.

I think so according to Tones latest tweet

I just want to protect a club,no more stealing from the club, which we should done long time ago! Time tells what loyalty means to someone.

To be fair, there are a few other players ahead of Bennett who I'd be giving away for nothing. Cissokho, Hutton and Baker for starters.

Maybe we could do a Q&A to get to know him better?!

as you say SuperTom, a no brainer, But I actually think there's a very decent footballer in Joe Bennett.

I don't think he's talking about Bennett here. He could well be talking about those who are stealing a living.

I think maybe last night RDM came to realise that our full backs were just not up to it; although I think Amavi will come good.  It would suggest to me that there is no full back in the offing and that Bennett should be retained as he's the better option.   

I hope I'm wrong and that there is a full back on the way with Bennett being back up and all the others to be off-loaded one way or another.

Admit that wasn't properly worded, but has he not overruled the manager on who he can and cant have in his squad?

Perhaps Cissokho is on his way.  There was talk of this earlier in the summer.
