Bennett giving some food for thought. 

When he was coming through the youth system, his power was a big asset. Trouble was then going to senior football he was a boy playing against men. Looking at him this pre season he now looks powerful again, could he finally become they player he was hyped (far too early) to be?

Quite possibly yes, he was played through the middle as well. Only really seen him play for us on the wing. He might just have that strikers instinct.....

Are Southampton bad or are we just so good that they look bad. Because so far I think we look terrific 

Bit of both, we were far quicker than them and had that desire to play and win.

Southampton looked slow and disinterested. 

It's only preseason mind, but Derby have put in a performance to get excited about. Southampton should be very worried. I'm gonna tip em for relegation this season.

Would really like to see Bennett given the chance up top against Coventry. 3 in 3 and our other options at the moment are Nug and Jerome who maybe a bit old for 9 mins of high tempo press.

It will be great fun and the fact that you are taking your granddaughter for the first time too. It's special. We took two of our grandkids to their first match against Millwall last year. The eldest is not into sport but he was amazed with the size of stadium and crowd and kept asking grandma questions. We won 3-0. Not long after their dad took them to see Raith Rovers. they won 3-0 too. They think every game finishes 3-0. Have a great time. Sure you will

3-0!! ?

Indeed, he was always a centre forward. Sticking him on the wing always seemed to me to be a lack of faith to play him as the striker. Certainly sniffing out the goals  at the moment, would like to see him start against Wolves personally.

edit: forgot about Coventry....start that game first ?

90 minutes? Oh actually maybe you're right!

Bennett did this last pre-season too, having been writen off by most of us he played his way into the team and featured 1st few games if I recall. But got that injury AGAIN

Perhaps save the money we were gonna spend on Marriot and spend it on a young centre half?
