    Has a lot of tricks and is surprisingly strong, a good impact sub against tiring legs imo.

    Sums up what I've seen, I have a feeling that the talent is there but he won't be ready to start for a couple of years. If he gets the attention to his development that Maja got he could be quality.

    Looking forward to seeing more of him, always good seeing a bit of raw talent.

    I think with a run of games he could be better than Maja. Maja scored goals but he was a hollywood footballer. Wouldnt tackle or head a ball. I think Benji is a bit of a maverick but can be a better all round player imo.

    i think he might need a stint out on loan to smooth off his rough edges and improve his reading of games. but the club won't do that til he signs a new contract

    Suffers badly in comparison to Maja imo. A raw talent with attitude. If he does not sign, what else can the club do but get shot.

    I've only really seen him in some of the televised U23 games and the early Checkatrade games he certainly hasn't got the natural ball control of Maja or Asoro but he has a lot more heart and determination. He's the kind of player that makes things happen - probably more like Dunc in that he chases people down and puts his foot or head in where it hurts. I think he can do a job off the bench but he would not be first choice at this stage, not in our league games anyway.
    Having said that I didn't really expect Maja to play that well last season - so maybe he just needs to be given the chance to shine.

    Never seen much of him
    What I have seen is he runs around and puts himself about with little end product
    Some say he’s a bit of a headless chicken type
    Only time will tell

    I’d keep him at the club as a bit of a wildcard rather than loan out.

    We are League One anyway, where we gonna send him that’s gonna benefit him? A League 2 club with no facilities?

    I know Embleton went well but he was already far further developed as a player.

    Do we want Mandron the second? Play him in the Checkatrade etc see how he gets on I say.

    Unpopular opinion but I'm not Impressed. Big lad, full of running, footballing brain of a dead Jeff Whitley. Hope I'm proved wrong
