Bennett V Buckley

[Neecha]

Had disagreement with a friend at work this morning. Who would you start over the other? Buckley's goals to game record is better than Bennetts playing in a higher league plus Buckley is quicker and more direct. So who would you go with?

Bennett was way more consistent and didn't seem so injury prone, and chipped in with a few belters as well, so Bennett.

nah...it's Buckley for me. So much potential there if he can get a little less injury prone

Bennett, created so many goals for the team. His assists tally was phenomenal.

But what about Mason Bennett? That kid is only 16.

Who?

 

[Diego Napier]

Buckley for me in spite of his inconsistency.

Bennett did all is good work against poor League one opponents and not proved himself enough against better opponents.

Buckley, he'd start for Norwich every week, massive talent which much more to come if we can sort his feckin hamstrings out. Bennett struggles to make the team at Norwich. I think Bennett looked so good for us because it was Division One football, he'd be great at Championship level but doesn't seem to have made it in the EPL yet from what little I can see form here, IMHO.

 

[Mellotron]

Different types of player. Would rather both, one on each wing.

wow, we must have been typing the same thoughts at different ends of the earth simultaneously then, deep man......

I fear that Buckley's build and lack of fitness will ultimately lead to the loss of his most valuable asset, speed. His crossing is generally poor. I think Bennet is still a better prospect for the championship and I don't think we need to concern ourselves with "premiership potential".

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

As much as I like Buckey, Bennett was one of my all time favourite Albion players so Bennett for me.

I loved watching him play, his passing, crossing and set set pieces were some of the best I've seen in the stripes. Great attitude also.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

When Buckley get's it right, he is unplayable.

People will say that's an overly dramatic statement for a player in the championship but he has the qualities that defenders hate. His turn of pace (especially for a tallish player), he is direct, and he can shoot. Of course, it's getting him on the pitch regularly which is the key.

This is one of the reasons I just can't panic about next season like others. Some of the quality we have in attacking areas for a new manager to play with is very exciting.

Bennett is the better footballer, comfortably. He could also satisfy multiple positions; out wide, and centrally where he was most effective.

They have different styles agreed but are both wingers by trade. get off the fence

 

[hola gus]

Buckley..... Just

 

[Flounce]

Bennett is more versatile and less injury prone, I'd choose him with Kaz playing too which would still leave us with a quality attacking winger. If Buckley didn't have the oft recurring hamstring problems I'd feel differently

Exactly.
