Guest RocketOwl Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi Guys, first post so be kind. I have been following the Owls for numerous years, home and away. When we signed Julian Bennett i felt it was one of the most astute signing swe had made for a long time. He was highly thought of as a player at Walsall and Nottingham Forest. I felt he had the potential to be a replacement for Ashley Cole. Why has his career stagnated at Wednesday? I feel he is still our best left back, he is just lacking in confidence. Maybe an extended run in the team would help Julian get back to the England promise he showed a few seasons ago. I still think he offers more than Daniel Jones. Bennett also bleeds blue and white, although not always playing well, you can see he very much cares. Any reasons why he cannot get a game?

Tea Baggins Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He is pants mate, sorry. Looks to have a bad attitude and couldn't stop a pig in a snicket. He bleeds the colour of money and I have seen no evidence in him wanting to fight for the shirt. Looks constantly unfit also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketOwl Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He is a Wednesday player and i can see his great potential. Still young and the best crosser of the ball i have seen since Steve Harkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euse Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Well Reda is first choice LB, and rightly so. I think Megson liked Bennett as a LB as he's quite athletic, got a bit of pace & has got a decent long throw ! Although I think as games went by, it was clear Bennett does have some positive attributes, he clearly wasn't part of the strong back-line Megson desired as his positioning, tackling & heading was woeful at best. We had him & Otsemabor who were decent going forward, but just couldn't consistantly do the business in defense. Reda & Buxton show how they can be quality at both parts of their game, with Daniel Jones & Kerian Lee showing good sturdy defensive displays (especially for their age).

Guest RocketOwl Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think Bennett deserves a second chance as Lewis Buxton is now one of our best players, but was once deemed not good enough by many fans, as was Reda. Julian Bennett is also a great player to have in the dressing room, he is a leader and we need this sort of character at the moment. Like you say, his long throw is a weapon and we should utilsie it, as the only othe person with a really long throw is Chris Maguire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to stop reading at 'one of the most astute signings we had made for a long time' but i'm glad i didn't. This is my favourite Owlstalk thread.. Ever. Comparing Bennett to Ashley Cole and mentioning his 'England promise'. I smell bacon. Still though. Best wind up attempt i've seen on here in a while. Had me genuinely laughing.

Guest RocketOwl Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sometimes as fans we have players that we need too really encourage for them to fulfill their potential. I remember Chris Adamson, i also felt he had the required skills to be a future England goalkeeper. In fact, i think Inter Milan sent a scout out too watch him. However, he really suffered with confidence and ultimately it led to him having a poor career. I think Bennett falls into this category. We need too create a song for him, let him know we are here for him. As he really does remind me of a young Roberto Carlos. We really don't want another Chris Adamson on our hands.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 When Bennett was at Forest, they tried to sign Tommy Spurr, this says everything for me. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
