    Not heard much of Benette since the World cup. Where does he fit in with things now that Simms has gone?

    Nothing to do with us at the moment but remember against Wigan where the sky red button wasn’t working (for most of us)
    Well, I’ve just tried it again on the blackburn Cardiff game where it says you can watch Luton v Huddersfield and all I get is the recap of the game and no option for the other game.
    Some said they got the Wigan game on the red button but it was intermittent.
    Does anybody have any suggestions as to what’s going on and if there’s a fix?
    Not for today but the next time we’re on.

    *Ive tried the unplugging and restart but match choice is still not working.

    He might be on the bench again then and might get some miniutes later on. Thought he did ok the few times we have seen him. Maybe better than Dajaku?

    Tin hat on (and I'll need it for this) but Dajaku is better than Bennette at the minute in my opinion. Out of all the players we've signed, I think Jewi is the one overrated by our fans. He's a livewire, quick and full of energy but he's completely raw at the minute to me. I'd have him as an impact sub for sure, but I'm not sure there's a circumstance where I would start him. I think he's probably behind Jack Diamond in terms of current ability too. I think he potentially has a much higher ceiling than the pair of them though.

    Spot on, jewi is one for the future no doubt. Im not convinced by dajaku at the minute but i feel he offers more at the minute than jewi

    Fore me bennete has more ability then both Diamond or Dajaku but lacks strength which perhaps will improve with time. Its all about opinions but I think dajaku has a lot of pace and a good shot on him, but dicision making is poor but we will see what Tony M thinks. I did like Dajaku when he first played for us but that was in a lower league, so perhaps he just needs more minutes too. At least we have choices which is great to see. Exciting times.

    I'd like to see Bennette get more game time for the U23s - he seems to play little for either the first team or the U23s. He can get used to English football, even if academy level, playing more matches
