DcfcMatt Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I spotted this graphic in a recent report about Mason Mount. I was immediately drawn to Bennett's name at bottom. I was surprised at how many chances he had created for saying that he hasn't played as many minutes as some of the others on that list. Would be interesting to see where his name would feature if the amount of minutes was taken into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Hughes needed 90 minutes of football against Peterborough and every single fan that day left the stadium talking about him. I'm not sure what everyone saw in him that day in Peterborough, he CAME ON after 90 minutes at 2-2, touched the ball once and we lost 3-2 ??

G STAR RAM Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Part of the problem is that he burst on to the scene at such a young age. Unfortunately, as many soon find height, power, pace in young players only takes you so far when you make the step up. Personally, I think Bennett lacks the footballing intelligence to become a permanent fixture in the team. He really is a head down and run merchant. That said I thought he was having a positive impact on the team earlier in the season and it was a shame that the injury hampered his progress. Said for a while that I think he will wind up playing in the lower leagues, really hope he proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that if those stats were "normalised" to even out differences in minutes played, then mason bennett would probably be 2nd to mason mount. Harry Wilson really is mainly a scorer rather than a creator for others. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Bennett 0.025 Mason Mount 0.024 Harry Wilson 0.019 Tom Lawrence 0.012 Jayden Bogle 0.010 mmm...what does Frank see in Mason Bennett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyBilly Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 His goal scoring record isn't too bad, he is a one in 20/25 man. On a good season he could score a couple if he started every game. A good option for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notably (and unfortunately) wrt Tom Lawrence. Young Jayden should be excused as he's supposed to be a defender mainly.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammed79 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I get the feeling once he starts getting regular games and a couple goals he wont stop scoring unfortunately it'll probably be with some other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Hughes needed 90 minutes of football against Peterborough and every single fan that day left the stadium talking about him. You're just sugar coating his career, playing well for 20 minutes against Ashley Cole in 2014 in a game we lost 2-0 is a career highlight. I'm not having it i'm afraid. Just because he isn't as good as Will Hughes doesn't mean he isn't a good player. Jayden Bogle and Jeff Hendrick are nowhere near the player Will Hughes is, does that mean they're inherently bad? No. Comparing him to Will Hughes is just ridiculous. You seem to brush over the fact that people are bringing Josefzoon into the argument and it's because it's actually a valid argument because he's been utter poo compared to Bennett. There are maaaannnnyyyy players we could all moan about - picking on a high potential kid who's had the worst luck with injuries (only beaten by George Thorne) is just unfair.

Uptherams Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 He's been injured, he was getting into the starting side and having an impact as a sub too. I would take him and Waghorn in the starting lineup over Nugent and Waghorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser_23 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Assisting vital goals such as winner at reading and hull. Got injured and now trying to get momentum going. He’s still relatively young so give him a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcanRam Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I like Mason and think he has a part to play this season no doubt. Good pace, good jump and a danger when he runs at his full back. He works his hardest and does his best, and if he continues to do so he will improve, especially when it comes to goalscoring, which is a weak point. For me, simply the fact he wears the shirt with such pride puts him apart from a good few others who have come through the door in the last few years. And in the current setup, he's certainly worth being in the mix with Josefzoon, Waghorn, Nugent and Lawrence, none of whom have exactly been pulling up trees. Only Wilson, Mount and Holmes can say they regularly earn their starting place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 In actual answer to the question he’s an impact sub for me. He’s good at switching the game up front late on, and aside from that should also act as cover for Waghorns role imo. Should only start in place of Martyn if he’s injured or something. Had a decent season so far tho mason, so long as we’re not starting him too often and putting too much pressure on him for goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Bennett gives us pace and physicality, he’s proved he can put a ball in, got some vital assists this season. I think with time and confidence he’ll start finding the net more then who knows where his career will go. For me he’s an impact sub but that’s just due to the competition we have. He’s an important part of the squad and no one would’ve thought that would be the case at the start of the season. Well done Mason and Frank.
