RedBullDelfouneso Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Bennett's performance against League Two Bradford City was far, far worse than Enda Stevens' performance against Southampton. Unfortunately, this is literally impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I see Newcastle are being linked with haidara 3.5 mill I wonder how many here would have liked him over Bennett considering we paid a similar fee for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaretFondu Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Nathan Baker or Clark at LB now that Vlaar is fit? Or even put Zog there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted January 15, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2013 Borough fans on their forum seem to have a good opinion on him, only read the first page but all seem positive. A few even comment he may need another season at their level, they was probably right and he may yet get it. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAndLoyal Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Erm, no it's not 'literally impossible' at all. I was in the east stand last Tuesday night and watched a team from three divisions below completely and utterly run rings and tear apart our supposed 'Premier League' full-back at every given opportunity. It was a performance so bad that prompted him to apologise to the fans. It was a performance that made me think back to when I once covered a teammate to play in this position in my Sunday League team and was, naturally, all at sea. It was an embarrassing performance. If you think Enda Stevens has performed as badly in any games this season I suggest you watch the matches back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Borough fans on their forum seem to have a good opinion on him, only read the first page but all seem positive. A few even comment he may need another season at their level, they was probably right and he may yet get it. ;-) Ummm... You think that's Boro fans having a good opinion of him? Could just be the move he needs really, not been quite the same player as a few years ago. Seems to have gone a bit stagnant] firstly i like joe bennett , a year ago he looked an excellent prospect even near future england class but , maybe he got carried away a bit with reading his good press reports at that time and subsequently his form dipped . last season he got sloppy in a few games defensively and lost possession in dangerous areas but i still rate him especially in an. attacking sense . Im not sure Bennett is as good as Boro fans think he is. He had a very poor season last year, he was picked out by opposition scouts as the weak point in the Boro back line, and time after time he was positionally unaware of what was around him. He struggles in the air and has questionmarks over his temperment. When many expected him to burt on into the England U21 squad he seemed to go backwards and Briggs? (the fulham kid) seemed to over take him. All the warning signs are there and it seems we are seeing all those weaknesses mentioned are magnified through exposure at premier league level.

maqroll Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Bennett has been poor, but I think he's got the talent to be a good player. I think he's a victim of being rushed into first team action, when ideally, he should have been slowly bled. I just hope his confidence is not completely shot when all is said and done.

Brumstopdogs Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 What worries me about Bennett is he is lacking in so many areas of play - he doesn't even have the fundamental qualities to be a good defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 16, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2013 IF we'd planted a small shrub on our left flank against Bradford it woudl have offered more protection than Bennett did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limvillian Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Bennett very nearly didn't make the move because he didn't want to leave Middlesbrough and his family. Why oh why didn't he go with his original instinct? Completely useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
