Vicente will step into Bennett's shoes as playmaker behind the strikers.

Benno was top class with us and has continued in the same vein at Norwich. Gus seems to have struck gold in bringing Vicente to play for us and with Buckley looking decent we're not missing EB as much as I thought we would.

 

[Mackenzie]

Buckley is better than Bennett in the bits I've seen of him. Just got to keep the lad fit.

 

[Mr deez]

Is this true? If so I take my hat off to the bloke.

Yep, check out his comments on twitter @ebenno88. He even sent me a personal message on there when I tweeted a best of luck message to him.

Chatted with Benno briefly before Liverpool game. As work have me up north this week gonna cheer on his brother Tuesday

 

[KrustyGull]

Cracking post mate hope Benno does well for you he was class for us last season and from what i have seen from him not out of place in prem, Would Albion be where we are now if he had left in Jan?

 

[mistahclarke]

He's a great player and you got him for a steal in my opinion. He was never the same player after the Jan transfer window, but without his assists we would not have won the league last year.

Bennett has been at the amex for the past two games, still follows us, seems like a genuinely nice guy.

Always came across on the pitch and in interviews didn't it, he's a class act all round.
I think we sold him for slightly too little, though I think Gus/the club had probably agreed that they'd let him go if Norwich went up.

Pleased and not surprised to see him doing well and gaining popularity among the Norwich support.

I loved him before, but he's just gone up a whole 'nother notch in my book. f***ing legend.

In a quiet moment I have this fantasy that we get promoted, and Norwich are relegated, and you know how once Gus likes a player he fights to get him ......... well you can guess what happens.

 

[terryberry1]

Quality pro on and off the pich

 

[comeinpeace1]

Keep your fantasies to yourself Dick Knights Mumm - our Manager is as good as Gus - if you go up to the Prem, you won't come down - nor will we ;0)

Successive promotions for BHA?

Well that would be a bit of a come-down. We're more used to successive CHAMPIONSHIPS.

lol have to admire your confidence! Maybe!

 

[SirElliotBennett]

Harley, our replacement for Bennett has not shown more than one flash of form yet.

Buckley is our replacement for Bennett.

 

[Perkino]

I still miss Elliott Bennett

This, he was my favourite player for many reasons

Not sure how anyone can claim that Buckley is a better player than Bennett when Buckley plays more as an out and out winger whereas Bennett best games were in the middle. As for not replacing Crofts and therefore lacking the physicality in midfield I didn't think our style was meant to be physical. Bridcutt is there to tidy up in front of the back four and lay it off to the playmakers, Lua Lua, Buckley, Noone, Vicente, Harley, unfortunately, I don't think Dicker is in their league and too often gets caught on the ball and Navarro is probably more physical but from my point of view, superfluous. Great sub to help close out a game but then we have Vincelot for that (provided Ankergren doesn't just throw away possession!!!!)
