Declan John or Joe Bennett?

Sun Aug 28, 2016 3:27 pm

Declan John came into the first team this season and in my opinion has done a good job of it, what I'm puzzled with is, is Joe Bennett, who is rated by a few people I know, going to play backup for Declan or is Declan going to be dropped and play backup for Joe.

If Bennett plays I'd play John further forward in some capacity. We need the pace he has in the team.

Agreed, we need John AND Harris on the pitch. They are our only players who can a. Beat a man and b. With genuine pace

4 4 1 1.

John as a winger. Noone other wing. Whitts and Ralls in middle. Immers and lafferty?? Up top.

Bennett, Connolly, Morrison, jazz. Back 4.

This 5 at the back ain't working

Drop Harris for noone? Genius, why didn't I think of that!

Are people forgetting whitts can't play as a two in the middle.

TBH I haven't seen John go past anyone and get to the bye line and cross a ball yet . He cuts inside a lot, or passes sideways .But hopefully he can, don't know anything about Bennett ?

I've seen him do it a few times this year. When Harris isn't on he's the only one trying to run the defenders.
