All this conjecture, it is clear that when Hurst signs for Rotherham his first transfer into the club will be a fit Ryan Bennett who proved himself whilst training at Town.


You must have a spring in your step with the Rotherham rumour?

Personally, I would not disturb the pairing of Waterfall and Smith for anyone. Why have we won four on the bounce away? Pundits say it is solidity at the back which allows us to soak up pressure and hit opponents on the break. Waterfall is our leader and the team look up to him. Leave well alone!


Throw in a settled back line, which is a must at any level and you have a recipe for success.  

The back 4 is the one part of the pitch you don't chop and change unless absolutely necessary.

If we have the opportunity to upgrade in any area we must take it, sentiment hinders progress.  However, I haven’t seen Ryan play for many years, the levels he’s played at suggest that he should be better but I don’t actually know.

Like someone else has said, this isn’t a 36-year-old Danny Collins who hadn’t played in the top flight for 5 years. Bennett was starting in the Prem just over 2 years ago. We all saw against Forest that the Premiership is on a totally different level to what it was when we were last in touching distance. If there’s half a chance of Bennett coming in, sign him.

Yes the current group of CBs is good, but....

One of the players isn't our player and could be recalled by his parent club.
One of them clearly does not have a long term future at the club (Pearson), as a player at least.
One of them has hardly killed a ball in anger this season.

Throw in the likelihood of an injury or 2 and a fit Bennett (who can also play full back and possibly midfield) looks a no brainer.

And here's another factor. When he played for Town his girlfriend was a Cleethorpes girl. If he's still with her she may want to be back in the area. I don't know this, pure conjecture.

If we had the opportunity to sign Bennett and it is financially viable, then if we want to progress, we should sign him.

As much as I'm happy with the defensive partnership we have at the minute, I would suggest that Bennett is the better option over Waterfall, plus the fact Andy Smith is only a loanee.

We have to remember that Bennett played Premiership football just over 2 years ago.
We wouldn't get many chances to sign that calibre of player in our current position.

Play him just in front of the back 4?, he would be excellent carrying the ball forward too

I would like to see Cropper have a proper go when back from injury.
He's done nothing wrong since coming in, and was vital in the play-offs IMO
