Just listening to the Wolves v Liverpool commentary tonight, big test for Ryan against the Liverpool forwards.

It does seem like Liverpool are his bogey team. He had a terrible game against Luis Suarez (who was admittedly at the best he played in England) while he was at Norwich a few years back. It might even have been two hammerings thinking about it.

Sounds like Wolves are playing well even though they are 1 down.

At Norwich the fans did not rate him highly because he might be quite quick in a straight line but he’s slow on the turn and his distribution was/is not brilliant. But he was playing in a poor side and often left exposed by the midfield so perhaps the way Wolves play suits him better.

Wolves play a very defensive game, always keep at least 4 at the back apparently. Only 19 goals conceded but only 19 scored.


I work with quite a few Norwich season ticket holders, all of whom rated him very highly. He left, on a free, as they offered him a third of his wages to re-sign.

Yes, I don't think Bennett was unpopular with the fans as such, just that he was not brilliant in a side that was a vwey long way from brilliant.

But as you say money was the reason behind his leaving. He left as part of Delia's purge on high earners at Norwich last year. They were able to replace Bennett like several other players with some ease for a lot lower wages, in this case from from Lincoln and Germany, perm 2 from Hanley, Klos and Zimmermann or sometimes they play 3 at the back.

Wolves last year were the big spenders of the Championship so ......
