It was as bad as it looked. Shame for Scot, he'd had some very good games in midfield recently

"Exiles boss Michael Flynn reveals that Scot Bennett will be out for between 4 and 8 weeks with a hamstring injury"

Yeah did look bad ... took an age to get back to the dug outs.

I like Bennet with his virsatility, but was having a mare Tuesday?

All the best Scott

That’s a huge blow. Although he lacks pace he reads a game brilliantly, we’ll miss him.

generally if you lack pace and cant read a game ur not a footballer anyway. The better players have both PACE AND VISION the lower journeymen normally one or the other .Mark Byrne was an exception although he lacked height theres always something lacking at this level.However Byrney even though he lacked height still could outjump many a six footer we have now

to be fair, in order to be out jumped, some of our six footers would first need to jump

Dan for his size miles in front of anybody else at the club.

Will be interesting to see if we improve in his absence, an opportunity for someone (probably O'Brien).

The thing is, having O'Brien come into the team to replace him certainly doesn't weaken it, if anything it makes us stronger.

That's certainly my opinion too, but as I'm not one of those player witch-hunty types, I framed it as a question...

Yes but O'Brien will only come in to replace him if we play a back 3 otherwise it will likely be Tozer

More than likely , but if two cb's then I'd rather see O'Brien put at the back and White playing in Bennett's role. It wont happen but I think White would be excellent there.

Back to a 3/5 at the back today, seemed to fit us well before so we'll see how much Notts have come on.
