    The 2nd goal, their midfielder ghosted in between Benkovic & Nelson. Benkovic has taken all the flak but Nelson got away with yet another error. Also where was our midfielder back tracking his marker?

    Decent loans at Celtic & Bristol City should tell us that Benkovic has something. If his attitude was at fault then he should have been booted out weeks ago. I look back at soft goals conceded against Bournemouth & Bristol City and the lack of closing down for goals at Norwich & QPR and it definitely points to our undroppable pairing making the same mistakes time & time again. Harris recognised this but still did nothing about it.
    I think you'll find that Rogers didn't consider his loan at Celtic 'decent' or anything close.

    Well, he thought Benkovic was initially 'sensational' at Celtic - for his first ten games - but didn't keep those standards up.

    Perhaps he showed very little in training , or wasn't not fit , bought in as a bench man and that's where he stayed.

    I can't help think if he was half decent or showed he could add something to a struggling side , he would've played .

    The Wurzels are in a mess as well. Their squad is so depleted they've recalled five players from loans and Kasey Palmer has come back from the Jacks with Covid.

    Yes, he started well, but from Roger's comments the other week it didn't last. And even when he talked about him being at Cardiff and not playing the impression was not that he blamed Harris but that he blamed the player.

    Benkovic must be really unlucky, transferred for £13m and then taking the number 13 squad number with us!
