He will still likely be the starter next season with Luna as competition for his spot. Every player needs someone pushing them. My guess is by December Bennett will be a firm fan favourite, a goal will help that.
Indeed... just because Bennett hasn't been as good as Lowton last season it doesn't mean all hope is lost with him, he will improve, he's a good footballer just a bit rash and "green" once he gets the experience and once he gets a goal I think we will see a cracking young Full back... Luna's arrival will help kick him into gear, he had no competition last season, now he has!
Agreed. I know I will get some stick for this but I will say it anyway. Bennett reminds me of some Brazilian full backs. So attack minded he often gets out of position or caught flat footed. I think this is the kind of full back Lambert likes and probably encourages Bennett to develop his attacking game more so he can be a genuine threat.
Sod it, lets go balls out. Bennett is going to be as good an attacking full back at Carlos Alberto. There I said it.
