Not making excuses. Merely pointing out positive things that I see rather than just "Bennett is crap" as some do.

A look at Bennett's "career" to date will tell you that his development has been greatly hampered by a series of injuries limiting the number of appearances he has made. The 38 or so he ahd last season is actually more than he had previously for Derby following his debut some 8 years ago. That FACT means that he is not where he should be at his age. Something I have written previously on here. He is playing catch up and is, IMO, more worthy of a start than FloJo. He needs another busy season like he did last season to get near where he should be at 23. The last 2 mnagers seem to want to give him game time and that won't be a charitable act on their part.

FL kept playing him last season as he did exactly what he wanted him to do. PC seems to think he is at least worthy a matchday XVIII spot. I would respectfully say that their views on Mason are more relevant than yours or mine.
