Greer and Bennett

[stss30]

Not good enough if we are aiming to get promoted from this division. Greer- too slow, gives the ball away cheaply too frequently, Bennett- Not strong enough defensively. Not basing this just on tonight of course they have been found out in previous games as well.

Bruno on the other hand, a class act tonight.

I'll be disappointed if we try to sign Bennett permanently. We need better and we can do better

Sounds like a firm of undertakers

You do realise you do not have to be as good as Arsenal to get promoted out of the Championship?

You did read my third sentence didn't you?

To be honest I am a bit more concerned as to what they do against Blackpool next week. I am sure CH knows the score and whilst they are playing for us this season it might be a good idea to give them a bit of encouragement don't you think.. if you are a real supporter of course.

Saying I don't think they're good enough to get us promoted equates to not giving them encouragement and not being a real supporter? Gotcha.

Gordon Bennett?

You got it mate. Have you not looked at the table. Promotion is way out of reach, we need to get away from the bottom and our players need to be good enough to do that. That is what matters for now.

We just played Arsenal one of Europe's top teams. They both had reasonable second halfs. Every player was chasing shadows in the first half.

Bennett I totally disagree on. Greer is getting in now but still good enough at this level right now.

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

I actually think Bennett would make a good winger. Relatively quick, very skillful and he's a good crosser - always dangerous when going forward. He's not good enough at defending though to be a LB for a top championship team.

I agree they are perfectly able this season, however I am suggesting next season if we have ambitions of reaching the top 6 Greer and Bennett are not good enough. Sorry if you misconstrued my OP

Bennett was great today. Caskey is not good enough...greer- spot on

Oh the irony of this post

Just watch the first Arsenal goal and the first Ipswich goal, the crosser's are given all the time in the world to pick someone out in the middle, Bennett is not trying to block the cross or even anywhere near the man.

Completely agree, good crosser and good at finding space on the wings, but too slow to get back in position and not strong enough to be an efficient left back.

possibly one of the most frustrating players at the club IMO. When the ball is shifted from right to left he just will not attack the space in front of him.......huge amounts of space to maraud in and he just sits there...on the half way line.....I don't understand his reluctancy to get forward at every opportunity he can when we are attacking.

Is this the Bennett that had Sanchez in his pocket?

 

[Mr Banana]

Amused (and slightly horrified) when Bennett thought the right thing to do was to take a touch when Walcott was right next to him today. I would never slag any of the team off after the last few weeks (well, maybe JFC - he was bobbins again) but we seem to have a few players lacking the speed of thought to match the game we want to play. It was like a grandmaster taking on an enthusiastic dunce at times today.
