Current Player #12 Joe Bennett

[Steve Gilbert]

A sensible signing on paper and he has generally played all is football in the championship.
A few injuries in the past but if he hadn’t then he wouldn’t be a free agent.

 

[Upthecowboys]

Sensible signing. I heard a whisper than Leigh wouldn't be back until at least January.

 

[WEYellow]

The Greg Leigh injury worse then first thought…

Think there was always a fear it was a month or so, as far as I know that hasn't changed. 8 games before January and Brown was never gonna be LB for all of those.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Didn't see that coming! Looks like Leigh's injury is a bad one and Des doesn't fancy Brown at left back.

Or the fact that Brown is the only player who can play left back with Leigh out.

Yes, that could be the reason..... Well, I hope it is

 

[Eric Blair]

McEachran has competition for shiniest teeth in the squad now.

I suspect that the rumours that Leigh will be out for longer than liked have made us go for this signing.

Welcome, Joe Bennett.

Glad I'm not the only one who's been blinded by Josh's teeth.

Welcome Joe.

Only signed to end of Jan so doesn’t mean an awful lot that we didn’t already know about Greg’s injury.

That’s two left backs signed in a few months, Robinson will be turning in his grave.

Didn't see that coming! Looks like Leigh's injury is a bad one and Des doesn't fancy Brown at left back.

Or he thought to himself ‘If Brown picks up an injury we have literally no left backs’

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Left backs are like London busses

Nah, he turned them down.

Left backs are like London busses

Joe Skarz was certainly built like one.

Let's hope this new chap can keep things ticking in the absence of Greg Leigh in the same way that JJ Kenny covered for the devastating loss of gorgeous George in the promotion season.

Have Jamaica qualified for the ConCaf cup (?) and would that mean Greg Leigh would be off with them in January time?

“””The experienced left-back, 33, started his career at Middlesbrough before a £3 million move to Aston Villa. After loan spells at Bournemouth, Brighton and Sheffield Wednesday, he made over 150 appearances for Cardiff City before joining Wigan Athletic in 2021”””

Clearly will have slowed down a bit, but an excellent pedigree. Pleased about that as I really like Brown in the middle.

Please don’t be the first person to post ; ‘But what we really need is a striker’…

Robinson signed a couple of strikers in his time though
