Neil Warnock says Cardiff player had his best game for our club last night

“That was Joe Bennett’s best game for me at the club by an absolute mile. There’s a player under that shirt somewhere and tonight he was unbelievable.”


Joe Bennett getting better and better for Cardiff City :thumbright: :bluebird:

Looks a good free transfer acquisition (hats off to the transfer committee for this one!). Only weakness is a slight tendency to get caught to far forward at times, but in general an upgrade on Malone and many of our other left backs over recent years, most of whom have been pretty ordinary.

As he probably the worst pundit ever I wouldn't put too much faith in that opinion.

Bennett and Zohore are two successes for the Transfer Committee :shock: Indeed you could throw in Murphy as well and all of a sudden their perception is starting to completely change if it wasn't for Lambert that is. Mind you I believe he was more of a Trollope signing that anything else.

I thought we paid a fee for him? somewhere in my mind I thought it was 750k but may have made that up :lol:

I still think Warnock likes a more solid fullback, wonder if that's what he is getting at as Bennett has been great going forward in recent weeks.

pretty sure it was a free, seem to remember he was on his way to Sheff Weds done deal,had a medical then Villas owners blocked it. not wanting to see him go to a team that might be challenging.

Yes the transfer Committee got Joe Bennett, but he's another one who never really achieved anything until Warnock got hold of him and for months he was still injured and unfit when we got him.

Joe Bennett was a free transfer,Villa wanted Bennett of their books.

Never achieved anything until Warnock but you say he was injured up until Warnock came in so how could he achieve anything? :idea:

I thought he had a cracking game against Ipswich as I was thrilled he scored as it finished off a very good performance

He's a very good player. With Jazz Richards on the right I honestly wouldn't pick Peltier when fit, as he offers little going forward.
