Can anybody remember the last time he ever actually ever tackled anybody?

Shame as im a massive Joe Bennett fan and the past 2 season's he's been excellent, and the defensive side of the game had improved massively, and Warnock deserves a lot of credit for that, but he's been so poor this season and the left hand side of our defence is a constant weakness. Its one of 3 things imo, (1) He's fatigued and knackered after playing every minute of every game for us. (2) He's become complacent since Cunningham has gone knowing (even possibly subconsciously) that regardless of how bad he is his position isn't under threat or (3) He's just down on confidence and form.

Hope he can get back to the form he had over the past 2 seasons for us but then I guess that can be said about a lot of our players.

I like him too...and honestly think like so many players at the moment is taking lots of unfair flack...
doesn't cross the half way line...well a shot Sunday { which wasn't very good } springs to mind along with a very well timed run against SW where had glitxle not intercepted it he was 8 yards out with just the keeper to beat..
does not tackle...there were 2 instances in the last 5 mins in Swansea where he came from nowhere to make last ditch tackles with our CBs beaten..
no he is not at his best but but nowhere near as bad as those with one dimensional agendas are making out..
