Played for us today after his father died over the weekend.
Never knew this, thought he played well tonight
Warnock mentions Joe Bennett’s father passing, what an awful thing to happen on top of everything else.
Condolences to Joe and his family , respect for going out and playing tonight as it must have been difficult to focus on football.
Apologies just seen the other post below...
I much prefer Bennett to Cunningham put some good balls in. I think he could have done better for the 2nd goal but ultimately sol was reckless. Thoughts are with him in what must have been a hellish week
Prior to last night's game, Joe Bennett had had a few below-par performances, perhaps his father had been ill for some time and this was playing on Joe's mind?
I'd hyped Bennett so much last season, think he's struggled a couple of times in the last month or so and have been thinking maybe Cunningham deserves a chance. Bennett proved me wrong tonight he was outstanding i thought, looked composed and confident, obviously playing with emotion got the best out of him.
Think he's been shy to take his man on and put a ball in on occasions even though he has the tools to do it. I always assumed it was Warnock telling him to play cautiously but judging on his post match int, it probably isnt. More of the same please Joe!
I think Bennett had one of his best game of the season. I liked seeing him play the ball to Niasse down the line.
respect to him and sorry for his loss
but not a fan... just think hes too poor quality, when you stop and think would he get into the side of any other team in the prem ? then not good enough for me, showing better heart but makes lots of mistakes and gives the ball away alot...
slight improvement last night, and after taking that ball to the jaw i respect him alot more for getting stuck in, but just lacking in ability for me
For me, he’s our most at ease player in the back 4. Yes, he makes mistakes but he’s the best all rounder we have. Bamba still thinks he’s Beckenbauer and Morrison has struggled. Manga is a bit shakey at CB, can’t play RB and Cunningham and Peltier aren’t up to it.
Massive, massive respect for him playing last night. I know we aren’t very good but we’ve got a cracking bunch. Proud of them last night.
Bennett is alright for me.
A lot of times he is exposed by those around him making mistakes. Last night it was Bamba.
If Bamba doesn't go walkabout and lose the ball then we don't have to try to make last ditch challenges while caught out of position.
The biggest shame for me when considering Bennett is the £4 million we have seemingly spunked away on Cunningham.
I don't think he is anywhere near a £4 million player when I have seen him and in no way an upgrade on Bennett.
