Well I have been happy with GC's signings so far. It has always been my belief that a small squad of better quality players and bringing youngsters through is the way to go. A friend of mine reckons that Clarke signed a lot of average players because when he took one of and replaced him, no one would notice The squad looks smaller and weaker to me, but still time for the 'marquee' signings to arrive. For God Sake! Think of the narrative man!

I wonder if or how many of our potential signings are reliant on moves like this happening first to create some extra space on the wage bill Indeed. And getting Bennett off it would help a lot as he is (apparently) our top earner. Absolutely. He started off promisingly, but faded away into an irrelevance in my opinion. Would be good to see him moved on, and the money saved spent elsewhere.

Had a go at 8 clubs in less than 10 years and this is because Kyle Bennett played for himself and never for the club that employs him.
When you saw Monkhouse play for us you saw an unselfish player happy to give Brown a simple over lap pass with Lee getting the assist or again run back to cover left back. Monky played for his team mates and club, I remember being told as a kid there no letter “i” in the word team.
Bennett was all about his own assist, his own Hollywood ball, Cryuff turns in our own half, he rarely did the overlap pass or tracked back to cover his full back.
Sammy Igoe, same stature as Bennett but he played for his team, a lot of appearances for Pompey, Reading, Swindon, Rogers and Bournemouth. I will be glad when Bennett goes, 2 seasons at Swindon or 18 months and then Port Vale next

A friend of mine reckons that Clarke signed a lot of average players because when he took one of and replaced him, no one would notice Why blame a friend it's pretty clear by now what you think of DC? As far as a smaller squad until GC completes his squad it's impossible to say if it'll be any smaller, as things stand he looks like he's going for 2 players to cover every position, so it hardly looks like being that much smaller than DC's.

A man who used to for us once told me that if we were away somewhere up north on a Tuesday night, a certain Mr Igoe used to phone in sick

Ah, but that goal at Wembley 🙂 it felt like I should still be standing there watching it roll now! God time went slow for that few seconds! If I close my eyes I can still see it and feel that emotion! Just as special to me as Grimsby Pens but I’m not sure anything will ever top browners right foot!

Morning Gasheads! Bennett to join us within next 2 weeks according to Wellens. No mention of whether perm or another loan. Have a good season, fellas! Was told today that no offer has been made for Bennett and he’s part of GC plans.

Personally I will be delighted if Kyle stays he is quick and skillful and can play on either flank, maybe this is why the Bradford winger (another very good player) has not been signed at least as yet

Think Benno and THD would work very well together. Not frustrated at him staying at all.

Would like to see our Kyle under GC to see if there is any difference - if he still flatters to deceive then time to move him on. But if things work out then we may be pleasantly surprised.

Thought it was interesting to see Kyle in the team photos today being briefed by GC. Doesn’t look like a player about to sign for another club.

Bradford fans seem to like him so lets hope they take him off our hands so we can sign someone who is actually a threat to the opposition..

Still hope we sign another winger this summer, but more than happy for Bennett to stay and fight for a spot. To be honest, I can’t remember which game exactly but definitely a cup game at home last season where THD and Bennett both started and for the first 45 mins their partnership looked lethal up until one of them was substituted early second half. I’m pretty sure it was an EFL trophy game thinking about it but with so many people staying away, they missed some off our best football last season 😅
