    Shame we couldn't have got a fee for him in the last transfer window. Don't think he has had a 90 minute runout in all his time with us. He has become a liability and we need shut

    He only finished two matches in which he started for us and they were 15 April 2023 at Reading when we drew 0-0 and the following week, 22 April 2023 at home against QPR, which we lost 1-2 after he scored the equaliser in the 76th minute, but they scored in the 87th to win the match

    He's a really lovely lad, we invited him to join us at a restaurant in Burnley when he was sat all alone.

    He joined in the banter, signed autographs at will to people who came over to the table.

    He was not very happy at the way Der Kaiser refused to play him, but hey ho we are lumbered with a very injury prone player now.

    I feel a bit for Benny as he was brought as an impact player because that’s what he is , came on in most games and produced un stoppable shots or crosses for others.

    He. Was never really trusted to contribute for larger chunks of games - I said in the premiership the pace and physicality didn’t suit him - against Villa at home game - he started but refused to track the runners ( overlapped wing backs ) VK asked nicely - then shouted at him and then pulled him - which is where his premiership career pretty much ended.

    He’s was sort of super sub - quite apt really as sub is the stats man
