E Bennett

At right back...........interesting.

[Move Klose 303]

Probably a much better option than Martin.

[Making Plans 936]

Should have had been tried there before.

[Making Plans 936]

Ruddy; E Bennett, Martin (c), Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, Howson, O''Neil, Johnson; Hoolahan; Hooper. Subs: Rudd (GK), Cuellar, Andreu, Loza, R Bennett, Odjidja, Dorrans.Not a lot of "resting" going on there - good decision

Often touted as a potential RB in the past, good luck to him, hope it works.

[lake district canary 4,531]

Could just see a new player emerging today.  A fast right back in the style of a right footed Ashley Cole.  Could be exciting development for us.    He isn''t getting younger and his opportunities eslewhere in the team may be limited.    It shouldn''t stop him from getting forwards either.

[/quote]Ashley Cole?Lol, seriously?

[Herman 9,698]

George Cole maybe.

[lake district canary 4,531]

Yeah, let''s talk our players down,  wouldn''t make any sense to build them up a bit, would it. .....

[Herman 9,698]

 [:D] Lighten up. If he could turn out half as good as Ashley Cole then great. So long as he doesn''t become a world class tw@ like him.

how dare you talk down about our players, Elliott Bennet is every bit as good as ex England international who was voted the best left back in the world a few years ago, now earning £150k a week...how dare you!

[Cantiaci Canary 556]

He was superb there when we played Bolton at Carrow Road in the Prem.

How''s E Bennett been?

  Actually very good. My colleague says "arguably our best player so far".

Playing good by the sounds of it. 100 England caps coming up.

Bennett was brilliant today. Much better than Whittaker all day long

I remember when Benno played there before when we had an injury crisis at the back,couple of season back I think .Didnt let us down then and certainly didnt today.

I like him there reminders me of a player called Culverhouse who played there..whatever happened to him?

[GJP 79]

Played well but didn''t do anything Whittaker hasn''t been doing.

[mrs miggins 0]

Loved BJ''s interview saying had we had our manager from the start we could well be up already. Love his honesty.

[hogesar 9,611]

Didn''t put a foot wrong and looked solid - but he had very little to defend against, in reality.

This was the Bolton game Cantiaci Canary referred to.

Ebenno17 was excellent today and linked up well on the wing particularly in the first half.

Seemed to tire in the second half but is well worth a shout to see the season out at RB.

[sonyc 5,482]

I think I started a thread a while back about this. I believe he has all the marks of an excellent Arab. He has a decent cross, great speed and a lot of dedication. Well played AN for identifying Elliot for this position

[Gingerpele 0]

Not sure he does have all the marks of an excellent Arab, but if you think so ;)

Anyway yeah he had a pretty solid game, linked up well going forward quite a bit. Never had to do too much defending but can''t remember him ever being too far out of position or anything, kept line better with Martin than Olsson does. Unfortunately its not great timing for trying him out in a new position, going into play-offs and then summer break but perhaps next season whichever league we''re in he''ll get the chance to prove himself there.

[quote user="sonyc"]I believe he has all the marks of an excellent Arab.[/quote]Just don''t mention his camel, he''ll get the hump. [:S]

[sonyc 5,482]

Oh hell... Typical predictive iPad thing! The season has been a bit of a desert for him though playing wise!

[nutty nigel 7,506]

It was interesting to see Bennett tried there today. With Wittikar injured and two fit cbs in Ryan Bennett and Cuellar on the bench it seems Alex Neil is convinced Russell Martin is really important at cb. Where he''s had a great season....

[mrs miggins 0]

Do people think E. Bennet will be picked for the play-off games at RB? It could be a masterstroke because of the system we play (5 CM players) where our full backs bomb on while our wingers, Howson and BJ, cut inside because they''re not really wingers. Could work very well. Looking forward to it.

[Katie Borkins 1]

Not convinced the back four needs a sheikh up.

[nutty nigel 7,506]

I think he might Miggo. It probably hinges on Whitts fitness. But I think it was significant that Martin went back to cb today with a fit Ryan Bennett on the bench.

[mrs miggins 0]

I doubt we''ll see a shake up of the back line but I wouldn''t be concerned at all if AN decided to do so.

[TIL 1010 4,717]

Another fiver to cough up then Lakey as you finish the season 7-3 up or £35 against £15. [:P][;)]

Shall I get Nutty to post you his PayPal account ? [:D]
