Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 25, 2015 Here''s where you are misreading "arguably"When Bassong went missing and Martin played Right back, Bennett was out best CB. I particularly remember him playing well and scoring versus Hull a year ago.He''s a good defender with great potential and i''m interested to see how far he is from being involved again. He was first choice last derby game... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 25, 2015 [quote user="Crabbycanary3"]Not keen on SeeBass then?[/quote]Massively so. He''s come back from a year in exile though. I have always wanted to see a RyBen and SeBas combo to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrs miggins 0 Posted February 25, 2015 I think we''re still to see the best of Ryan Bennett. Has all the attributes to be a really top CB; height, pace (not off the mark but in terms of sprint speed), strong, composed. We''ve seen him have fantastic games, but also games such as liverpool where he can just want to get stuck in enough, plus he''s injured a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 25, 2015 Good reply Miggins. As Turner and Cuellar get old, we''re going to have to have a stopper in our ranks and RyBen is a good bet. I can imagine him still being useful this season, maybe when we''re sitting on a lead and need an extra defender.Have none of you heard him referred to that before?

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted February 25, 2015 I''m a big fan of Ryan Bennett as a player. Very composed. I''d drop Steven Whittaker and move Russell Martin to RB to accomodate him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted February 25, 2015 "Very composed". Really? Given time and space he''ll hit a decent pass every so often - like every player. Otherwise, he''s nothing special with the ball. Never going to be more than backup for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted February 25, 2015 I Like Ryan Bennett, but you wouldn''t put him in at the ahead of the others in the back four on current form. Personally, however I''d feel a lot happier if he was fit and ready to come back in should there be an injury or loss of form over the other options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted February 25, 2015 No, not on current form. But if people think the man can never be a regular starter imo they are deluded. These are probably the same people who said Bassong would never play for us again and that he is $hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted February 25, 2015 would be very hard for him to get at moment, he will have to get fit, and then be prepared to wait for his chance, as much as we never know what side AN will start with, he seems happy with his back 5 (JR, SW, RM, SB & MO) which makes sense to me.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,558 Posted February 26, 2015 He''s commonly called RyBen on Twitter as he has a habit of searching his own name and starting fights with fans who criticise his performances.Classy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted February 26, 2015 I think Bennett is decent and when fit he will be there or there abouts.may not get many games in a 4 man defence but if we go 3-2-3-2 (wing backs Olsson and Redmond?) he''d be a good option to slot in alongside bassong and martin, that''s a solid back line!

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 26, 2015 Purely an off the wall idea but if in future we are a Tettey short and have a Brentford situation on our hands, could Bassong not push up into CDM and Bennett come in at CB?The likes of Song, David Luiz and Kouyate who are similar types of players to Bassong can drift between the two roles. He has the strength and energy to play as an anchor man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
