rammieib Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Absolute tosh tonight. We hugely disappointed to see him start, then even more disappointed (but expected it) in his performance. The only highlight was a misplaced pass which ended up being a pass to himself. I was concerned that Lampqrd started him, then even more concerned that he wasn't taken off at the half. We can't afford to keep going through games with players not contributing. He's top of this list now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 He’s barely had a bad game when coming off the bench. The vice verca is also true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Noticed on the match day thread that he definitely appears to have become the new target for fans. Frank obviously sees something of his own career in him... the home grown player who works hard and comes good, but needs game time to prove himself. My fear is he works hard but the comparison ends there. He isn't calm and collected, doesn't have football intelligence and see the pitch. He has pace and power but little else. He doesnt seem to have that much skill or the flair to beat his man or pick a cross, he doesn't pop up at the right time to run onto things on the edge of the box. I applaud Frank for giving him the chance...but he needs a break now...last 20mins when defender is shattered he is probably their worst nightmare, especially if Derby are behind and committing men. But he bugged the hell out of me v Bolton, had so many chances to attack his man and opted for the safe option. Needs a break and a rethink to see if he can step it up to the next level for 90mins. Not scapegoating him....he has had a quiet few games. I have never seen that much in him but I am prepared to be proved wrong. I just think he needs taking out the firing line for a few games.

Totally agree with this and think needs leaving out altogether on sat, I'd like to see Jozesfoon given a start not Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has happened with josefzoon. Not on the bench . He has flair and skill. He needs run of games. Hope Lamps makes some changes for Saturday. Bennett on the bench and marriot given a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edtheram Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 How is Bennett in the starting 11 and Jozefzoon not even on the bench! Flo Jo has 2 feet and has shown that he can beet a man and score goals. Quite annoying that Bennett has been performing averagely for quite a while and stays in the team yet Flo Jo scores twice at Hull in cup and then another in the league and gets dropped. Very strange.

Smyth_18 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 On the flip side i thought he did an excellent job defensively. Would he be a better full back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramboy63 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 He must be fantastic in training because he offers nothing to the team,felt sorry for Bogle to be honest he was doing both jobs last night in the first half. If Frank Lampard as him in front of Jo Flo in terms of the 1st team he as been watching different games than myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 So Bennett is the new scapegoat, eh? No worries, a couple of misplaced passes is all it takes to bring you back into the Brad-hating department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zag zig Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 As Bennett got some stick before he dropped out the limelight, I’m giving this a bump. No he didn’t do anything spectacular yesterday, nothing too sexy on the ball and yes most peoples grannies could have scored from that far out, ( though I’m sure someone might say Keogh wouldn’t after the miss around 6 minutes in). Mason was in the right place, right time for his goal, contributing with as much energy as others, typically giving his all. What really stood out though was that tackle in the second half. Can’t remember which lump of a defender from Brum went in for the 50/50 with him, but Bennett crunched him in that full bloodied tackle onto the deck a good un. Made me smile because it showed despite a few injuries, Mason is pretty fearless and also just how much he’s bulked up to bounce a big defender onto his backside. Seem to remember the bloke having a whinge to the ref seconds later when Wilson got fouled, as if to say what about what happened to me. Aside from the goals, it was good to see Mason sparking and causing the opposition grief; just thought it was worth a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatRam Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Mason bennett is a great super sub with his pace strength and work rate. in my opinion i think hes more of a right wing back. he cant shoot so cant be a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Yep definitely an impact player, really pleased he finally scored he offers something different from our other wingers. He doesn’t have the finesse and quality of the others, but he brings aggression, power and direct running to the table. hes a good option to have on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Waghorn-lite. Played very much like him on coming on for his replacement, and I think that has helped. Can imagine the management to have done similar to what they have done for Marriott and Nuge - Mase lad, sit out a few games, watch how Waggy plays and learn from it.

He doesn’t have the finesse and quality of the others, but he brings aggression, power and direct running to the table. hes a good option to have on the bench Oddly - I think the reason he's never going to be a choice over Lawrence/Waghorn/Wilson etc is his lack of arrogance - You need a certain amount of "I'm better than everyone else" attitude to be a great goalscorer and winger - A firm conviction that you can and will go past that player/stick in in the net from a hard angle - Mason is almost too much a team player and is always looking for the option which helps the team out rather than taking a gamble on his own ability I always loved Martin because he always wanted the ball and got angry when people didn't pass to him - Lawrence has the exact same - Wilson seems to have a bit of it too - And whilst Marriott is calmer he still has the confidence to have a crack from anywhere (goal in second half against B'ham and shot from 30 yards out in first half) Not sure whether it will improve Bennett's game to add that arrogance - Or whether his ability isn't quite up to the level needed - Maybe he's better playing the 'good team player' role - But think we should appreciate the role he does and understand it more rather than giving him stick for not being more like our other wingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
