    Wouldn't he be needed now with Morrison out?

    Assuming Leicester have their own issues.

    Leicester know he's not going to play here and Morrison will be fit soon. They couldn't care less about us, they'll now want him to go out on loan so he can play and they can sell him to claw back as much of the £13m they paid for him.

    Hopefully this means that Morrison will be back for the Norwich game.

    So we are now left with a centre back partnership of Nelson + Bamba/Cunningham

    Well done Harris ! !

    Give him a chance. Benkovic had 1 sub appearance. Weve no league game for a couple of weeks. 1 loan gone hes got time to get someone in.

    Weve hardly lost Maldini.

    I'm sorry but Morrison & Nelson have been sloppy in recent weeks and Harris should have rung the changes.

    He is becoming frustratingly clueless.

    You did see Benkovic against Wycombe, didn't you?

    Does it mean he could be the first ever person to play for the City that no City fan witnessed?

    Benkovic has been slaughtered on here on the back of a 70 min performance.

    The first Wycombe goal, the player had the run & jump on him which can happen to the best centre backs. This is partly due to lack of match practice and concentration.

    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.

    Serves us right for not playing him before we actually needed him.
    Bad management.

    The people criticising Harris will be the same people criticising Benkovic's awful performance.

    A true club legend. Irreplaceable.

    What about Ciaron Brown on loan at Livingstone?

    Re: Benkovic has been recalled

    Weird one. I reckon he was abseloutely gash in training. Surely would have got a chance by now if he showed any promise what with the mental schedule and Nelson being below par. Does this free up a prem loan? Or is it an allocation over the season?

    I think you can have 5 PL loans in your side.

    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 .

    Well he got that wrong ,sounds like a manager making excuses for a poor signing

    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.

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