In my simple opinion, Smith is not our player, and if Hull don't want to sell him at the end of his loan spell, then he will be gone.  I believe that Bennet should be in the team in place of Smith, you just cannot leave Bennet out for a young loanee.  As good as he is, he is nowhere near the class or has the experience that Bennet has.


McAtee isn’t our player either and will also be gone at the end of the season. Are you suggesting we shouldn’t play him either? I would imagine Hurst will play the strongest team he can.

Interested to see who you think is better than McAtee


It may have been a clumsy comparison but I think Smith is the best central defender we currently can select (others may disagree of course) and is with us for the season. He had an off day against Swindon (as most of the team did that day) but that was a one off and against Salford he was back to his best. As such, if Bennett signs I would not drop Smith just because he is a loan player.

Really struggle with this idea that we shouldn't play a certain player because they're only on loan.

What's the difference between someone who's loan contract ends in June 2023 or someone with a permanent contract ending in June 2023?

As long as they're available for selection at this club, they should be judged only on ability and how they fit into the team for that day.

I want to see Bennett turning up at Cheapside on a rusty-chained mountain bike that's 3 sizes too small, complete with bull bars and his trackies tucked into his socks.

Anything less and he's a big time Charlie.


I heard a rumour, later confirmed, that he's renting in Waltham, while his house in Humberston is being built. So he might just jog down to Cheapside.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

His house is built, he’s been living in it for a while now.

Saturday convinced me more than ever that Harry can be effective at right wing back and we have options for the left. Three at the back looks a great option if we can sign a player of proven Championship (minimum) level who played on the right of the three. It also makes both 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 viable options so you can play two up, three up or one dropping off a front two. Bennett is a definite yes for me.

I agree, because if Bennet does sign, then Hurst would have to play him, as you say he would play the strongest team possible.

Quoted from Poojah


It’s not the worst shout in the world by any means, but it would leave you having to pick just two from Clifton, Hunt, Holohan, Morris and Green (plus potentially even Khan) when all are fit.

It remains to be seen whether we stumbled on something on Saturday, but I liked the shape of us in a 3-5-2 and feel it might enable us to get on the front foot more at home, something we’ve struggled to do thus far.

Something like this could be quite tasty at home

Crocombe
Smith / Waterfall / Bennett
Efete / Hunt / Clifton / Glennon
Khan
Taylor / Richardson or Orsi


Some of those players would be interchangeable; plenty of arguments to include Maher, Morris, Green and Holohan in there for a start (and of course McAtee when fit), but that for me makes the most of our squad, which is characterised by great strength in depth in central defence and central midfield, and less so elsewhere.


Efete is in no way a wing back at this level. I don't think he's a full back for this level either personally but he definitely isn't a wing back!
