Aaron Bennett

I am really pleased for Aaron Bennett but we must remember that we were only playing Bamber Bridge ..

Can he replicate his good performance against the likes of Norwich, Watford, Middlesbrough etc etc

I very much doubt it at the moment.
There's a huge difference between u 18s /academy and big boys football (see Harrop).
The game is a lot quicker and from what I've seen he wants too long on the ball.
Still he is young and skillful and has time on his side.The ball is in his court to adapt accordingly.

Yes, but would you say that in a live unedited debate? 😁😀
 
Was passing Springfields the other week and Bennett was there so he's been keeping himself fit over the summer.

He's got the talent. In interviews he comes across well and it looks like he's knuckled down over the summer.
 
Bennett will be a massive player for us, under estimate him at your own peril.

A genuine goal scoring midfielder. I can see him in the #8 role. He will save us an absolute packet.

About time we had some genuine quality coming out of the youth set up. A massive Well Done to those at youth level who have nurtured (and managed to retain) talents like Mikey, Benno, Coulton, Mawené, Seary, etc.

What next for Bennett? Personally think there are too many ahead of him at the moment but a season long loan in men's footy may be the way forward. What level do you think he should be going to? NL/Lg2? I'd deffo keep O'Neill for the 1st team, he'll be needed...

Personally I'd keep Beno at the club until Christmas, let him train with the 1st's; play for the Central League and U19's......
The biggest thing for Aaron is building up his stamina and 90 min match fitness and under Lowe's eye he would have to knuckle down and prove it.

At a non league club (cant see a L2 team taking him until he has proved himself) he could 'coast' through some games, showing his talent on the ball but not doing the hard yards off it...

Coulton and ONeill need to stay around the 1st squad and play C L as well. Nevin; Amaral; Leigh when fit could well go to a Brig level for 6 months.

Seary & Mawene stay U18'2 & U 19's plus C L.
Pradic IS the 3rd choice keeper so its a case of when will he get game time and not end up like the 'never plays' Hudson ?

Who is the former English professional footballer who played in the Football League as a striker for Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough and Hull City, and in the North American Soccer League for Fort Lauderdale Strikers. He is noted for his prolific scoring for Middlesbrough between 1966 and 1976?

The auto-correct on the forum also evident for someone else's name - I now presume they're the same person!

Are you after James Beet's job?
 
I can't say I know much about Benett, seen him on PNE matches a few times (Games on You Tube), looks like he has the skills, but also looks like he needs to train very much to improve his frame, looks overweight and not at all althletic.
 
I think @sports rehab is right regarding Bennett, watching him a couple of times in the youth team I thought he looked technique wise, way ahead of the rest. But does coast a bit through games. Give him a proper pre season to build up his fitness and then send him on a short loan to a non league side and see how he handles the physical side of things. Does his head drop when he gets kicked off a 30 year old who couldnt care less about him, how does he react when he's getting bollocked for not tracking. If he comes through that I reckon he's got a good chance of making it.
