Mason Bennett has joined League 2 side Notts County on a season long loan.

Notts County will be a perfect move for Mason to get game time.

Gone there, apparently, to get game time as a central striker. A place GR sees as mason's best role.

I think the club must have shown more patience with MB than any player I can remember. Will he ever amount to much?

There is a real danger that he will remain the perennial prospect. Looked to have fought his way into the side and then injured himself 10 minutes in. Got fit again, played central striker last week in the U23, one goal and one assist.

He has to deliver sufficient at Meadow Lane to convince GR or he will be surplus come the summer.

Doubt it, getting on a bit now, not the young starlet he once was, which is a shame really as I thought he could have been a top striker but maybe lower tier football is the best he can hope for now as he is certainly not going to knock Vydra, Nugent, Jerome etc off their perch any time soon....

ramAnag The simple answer to Bennett no I don't think he will ever amount to anything The lad has been handled poorly IMO was pushed in miles to early at 15 before his body was ready He's had injury after injury pushed out on loan to many times None of them successful through either not playing or injury Feel sorry for the lad because nobody seems capable of deciding what he is a winger or a striker I saw in Under23s two weeks ago he played well looked strong and fast so I would love to be proved wrong Sure Kevin Nolan must see something in him to take him to Notts

There's a nice story there, youngest player, local lad etc so I get the emotional attachment that both club and fan have with him. Truth is, he hasn't shown himself to be good enough at any level - even at loan at Bradford.

It happens, life is like that - the band I was in as a ****ager never did get that album deal but we all get on with it.
