Was it an injury or just cos he won't tackle?
He was terrible. Worst game I’ve seen him play for us. Didn’t appear injured proper to half time
He's not good enough, offensively or defensively.
He drives me mad, he just won't put in a tackle. He is the classic example of a player who knows he'll start every game as there is no competition for his place. I thought Bagan played well in his position against Reading, maybe Joe should have gone on loan to Notts County instead 😂
oh bore off, he was injured and is consistently a quality championship left back
It's strange why Harris brought on Bacuna instead of Sanderson. Why bother signing two fullbacks in the window if you then fill in with midfielders🤔
A very good point.Quote:

Cunningham, who Bennett kept out of the team the entire season in the Premier League and who Warnock shipped out at the start of this season.Quote:

Think that’s doing a disservice to Bacuna who I think is pretty dependableQuote:

It's no coincidence, that whoever the opposition is, they inevitably target our left. Bennett is a liability, he backs off all the time and is so often caught way out of position. Hopefully, we'll get an adequate replacement in the Summer.
There must be a logical reason why he made that switch, my first thoughts were that we've made two positional changes and disrupted partnerships, Richards and Albert etc when only one change was required?Quote:

Absolutely spot on, the first role of a defender is to defend, he can neither tackle nor block a cross adequately. And Andrew Taylor was shite.Quote:

Is this a wind up or do you genuinely believe that?Quote:

I think he is, from what I've seen of the division. Granted I'm not watching every clubs matches every week.Quote:

When quizzed on whether Bennett's substitution was tactical or owing to injury, Harris replied: "Neither.
"I took him off because I'm a manager and I make strong decisions."
That is an uncharacteristically curt reply which possibly raised more questions than it answered.
When pressed further on the decision, Harris' response potentially points to something which might have happened in the dressing room during the break.
"Sometimes you just have to make decisions at stages in games or moments in changing rooms and I decided to take Joe off at half-time."
Before a follow-up question was asked, Harris stood up and walked out of the press conference.
Yep I can only think it was considered too risky ?Quote:

AgreedQuote:
