I have mixed views on the Prem Academy system but I have to say if the quality that Glennon & Benson both appear to have illustrates all the good things the system throws up. They always want the ball and look really comfortable on it.

I know Glennon was at Liverpool and Benson Arsenal and it’s interesting that a fellow prem club picked these two up when they where deemed not worthy.  

Really like both of them and so far they look like really good additions and I hope they’ll keep entertaining us until they go back at the end of the season.

Glennon has had a bit longer to bed in but Benson looks a real talent. In the warm up pre Exeter game when he was sub, his control was outstanding, something I hadn't seen from a Town player probably since Trevor Whymark. You can certainly see he was schooled at Arsenal.

Hopefully the start of a relationship with Burnley. The two of them or two others of the same level on a season long loan for next season would be a nice bit of business. The lads must be enjoying it and Burnley must be pleased they're getting game time in a team trying to pass the ball.

Quote from a mate thats a life long Burnley fan "Quality player, we just have 2 left backs in front of him, so his chances of playing first team for us are limited. He will be one of the best left backs in league two by a country mile"  


From an earlier thread on Glennon.
Let's hope the two ahead of him at Burnley maintain form and fitness...and we might get him for a second loan, hopefully season-long.

We might put a 'promotion to league 1' on his CV.

Think they both need a full season with Ollie, far better for their development than reserve football and the occasional warming of the bench (wishful thinking on my part I suppose )

About time they paid us back properly for Dougie Collins.

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s time to let it go 😆


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
