Your support is not that great
And well done to the club for recruiting a third excellent left back in as many seasons.

Bennett's best game by a mile, and he actually did some defending too. Good to the right man get MotM.

Gardner has a THUMPING strike when he connects. He will definitely score a thunder******* or two in his time here

Agree. Great additions.
Gardner is getting better and better. Am looking forward to seeing him, Holla and Stephens playing together.

strong and stable with me, or...
Our fullbacks look like our most deadly attacking options at the moment, both in terms of supply and attempts on goal...
Both had very good games last night. That was the first time I'd properly seen Gardner play and he did extremely well, some of those long, raking passes were majestic. Bennett was excellent, a worthy man of the match. I was worried his confidence would go after that clash with Pilkington early on but they got next to nothing in terms of going forward down the left.
Agree with all of this. Both starting to show real class.

Yep i agree this could well be our best central 3 when all fit.
Stephens is back running.... still sounds a long way off to me though

yep no suprise from me that all our good performances this season have been when someone has not been playing in our central 3

Bennett was class last night, but there were countless times in the first half when he was in ACRES of space, and never got a sniff of the ball. When he did, towards the end, it resulted with a decent effort that trickled just wide.
I'm loving the tempo and seeing how far forward he and Bruno are getting to pressure the opposition.

Bennett and Gardner were both very good last night, Gardner protected Bruno very well filled in for him at times and made some solid passes, both on another night could have ended up with two each. Gardners left footed shot from the edge of the area was a better save than first thought as the replay showed it took a deflection wrong footing Marshell who of course managed to change direction and make the save.

Much better from Gardener last night. I was concerned that he was marking time, like Savage did, until returning to his club. Last night proved me wrong.
Bennett was very good, his best game for us.

What are the chances either one of them would sign for us at the end of the season? Two good young prospects we should be looking at to build for the future.
Sorry to go against the flow, but the jury is out on Bennett for me, good going forward but not so good defensively from what I've seen (I didn't go to Forest). Charlton at home, Brentford away are the two examples I'd give. He did play better last evening though, but wasn't really tested defensively.
Gardner good like the majority of the team for 20 mins, then not so good thereafter.

Just to counter the numerous "Gardner is shit" bla bla bla threads. As the adage says - you're only as good as your last game.
