JoeParker91 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 He did okay when he came on and the goal was very good but like someone already said, the Notts County players had nothing left so difficult to really judge his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Sherwood rates him apparently and he is our second choice LB to Amavi. Reckon he will get plenty of game time this year. Especially in the cups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in the cups. If that was true, surely he would have started ahead of Richardson last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Bennett is just coming back from injury so I am not surprised he only got a run out towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ok, lets just recap here. Last night Joe Bennett won the ball in our half, ran the length of the pitch with the ball and banged it in off the post from the edge of the area. Joe Bennett though, that's Joe J-O-E Bennett B-E-N-N-E-T-T. Ok. Errr. Ok. Joe Bennett though? Ok. Anyone got a dark room? I think I need a lie down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 He did okay when he came on and the goal was very good but like someone already said, the Notts County players had nothing left so difficult to really judge his performance. Yes, that goal has 0 predictive value. They were dead on their feet, and kept standing off him on the edge of their own penalty area, that will never ever happen in the Premier League. The goal was nice, but actually for me what was impressive was that Bennett kept shape, didn't get drawn out of position or go wandering on the left touchline, and added some defensive solidity to the side. The goal was a 'cherry on top', not the cake itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I think he has filled out a bit, looks much stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare time he does something like that and deserves the praise he is getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Didn't see the game but in general always felt Bennet had ability on the ball but his positioning and strength were the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Great goal, nice celebration as well. Lots of hugs. Think he's a likeable character. Very noticeable that the whole team ran over to celebrate. Of course that 5th goal killed what was a rollercoaster of a game, but as you say, obviously we'll liked.

itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Could he maybe make it as a CDM?....or is that very wishful thinking. Attacking and pace has always been his best quality but he can tackle, you'd hope so being a LB! Maybe there's a place for him as a utility player. His wages are probably keeping him at our club but under Lambo he didn't show much to get confident about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Full back andc midfield are similar skill sets in many ways, although you have to get used to taking a 360 vision of the pitch. Always thought Lowton might be better as a midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I see him more as a potential box to box midfielder than as a proper DM, as a full back he should be used to running up and down the pitch, and his attacking attributes seem to be much better than his defensive ones.
