[/quote] It''s being played in Poland so they should not expect any stomach discomfort from too much haggis. On the other hand, if it was played in Scotland they would probably be "full of running" for the Stoke match. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pliff 4 Posted February 19, 2014 Yes they could all get injured and we could put out a decent side to beat Stoke none of t hem would be in my starting eleven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He''s played the role before, has got pace and may be a bit less defensively incompetent than the Scots. Would help us a bit from set-pieces as well. Can''t see him making the same sort of cock ups as Martin (e.g. Cardiff away and Kenwyne Jones). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But no way near enough pace or mobility to be a good fullback. He also doesn''t have enough ability on the ball. You''d like your fullback to be able to do something going forward. Bennett hasn''t got that in his locker at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only time I''ve seen him at right back was last season away at WHU when he gave away an unnecessary, if soft, penalty in the 2nd minute and looked utterly uncomfortable all game. Strangely he''s never been tried there since.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
