Team to nobble cobblers

[MK Shrimper]

Benyon is quality . He is just suffering from the Gary Hooper syndrome .... Roots Hall crowd not getting behind him , and a few minutes here and there as a sub in a lost game not helping his goals per game ratio recently. He has proved he can do it at Div 2 level. That goal he got towards end of last season at the Hall where he pounced on a loose ball in the box , made space in an instant with a deft bodyswerve + rip a corker into the roof of the net was awesome. .... very Defoe like ... forget the other strikers in our squad , Benyon is the one we should be building a team around. If he starts at Sixfields, he scores , we win the match . Simples .

No he's not, he's just utter, utter rubbish.

I have more chance of sleeping with every bluebell than Benyon getting 20goals on a season

Wow, easy there tiger with you neg rep and excuse me for not going on Wikipedia.

1 goal in 5 months, excuse me for not wetting myself with joy at his name on the team sheet.

Oh dear, moaning about rep. You need to be able to take it like a man. You are happy to dish it out when you don't agree with someone, so you must be able to accept it when someone doesn't agree with you.

No mate I'm not going to jail ;)

Cobblers have some lumps at the front (Platt and Akinfenwa) so we need a big keeper so SMITH.
Back four of SC, MP, Cressie and Barks on the left; (Barks because he gets in tight on oppo and doesn't get shoved about).
Middle of Kane and Spicer, Hall on right (links well with SC) and Martin on left (as he works the width well & Hurst 1/2 injured.)
Up front has to be fit Fred or Bomber or Benyon with Tomlin (who does seem to have done a proper pre season.)
The biggest shout of the day needs to be the pre match focus from PS and SC. Does anyone on here recall how an agitated David Webb got the players so fired up they just wanted to get out there and follow the instructions; and avoid the snarls!

So why moan about rep if you don't care :winking:

He's right about Benyon though.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Akinfenwa is normally on the bench for them but always seems to give us a rough time. Nicholls and Platt up front looks decent, and Hackett is a good winger we will have to watch out for.

Think Belford will continue for now, by all accounts one of our better players on tues night?

 

[undercovershrimper]

Haha, I missed that bit when reading that post. Let me clarify, I do rate him, but in no way is he a 30 goal a season striker.

Scored 38 for me in L1 on champ!

 

[davewebbsbrain]

He's right about Benyon though.

What, that he won't score 30 in his career? We have established he already has scored more than 30. You aren't here to watch games so I don't know what reasoning you are using in your decision.

Benyon needs a good run in the team with the right type of football being played. Then we will get a striker with goals.

With the right type of football being played Benyon would be last on the list behind Freddy, Harris (and he's past it) and Tomlin.

You mean the "tap-in" that he scored?

Nothing I've seen of Benyon brings me to this conclusion. Sorry.

 

[superblue24]

This is what I see when I see Benyon.....

 

[dannyboy25]

Are you related to Benyon in any way, shape or form?

He's right about this.The other key fact(mentioned above)is that Benyon has only scored 3 times in the 37 games he's played since leaving Torquay.Give me a half fit Freddy any day.My reasoning is that I've seen him play.

ha ha, I've just neg repped MK for being like you and who should pop up.

Goals last season
Eastwood 2 Benyon 3

Goals since Freddy left in 2007
Eastwood 28 Benyon 50

If you don't rate Benyon that's good enough for me.

Corr and Benyon to fire us to promotion.
