Re: 20 Goals For Benji?

Quote:
Now that the hype of benji's pre season goal fest against shitey scottish and pishy english opposition has died down.I personally think that he will be lucky to get into the low teens.I have no doubts about his ability as a player,but i cannot see him being the answer up front,i think he sees himself as the only one who should be allowed to score for us,and tries to much at times when a simple pass or lay of is the better option.
C'mon Gaz how can Benji win with you???

What more can he do other than try to score no matter what 'shitey' opposition we play pre-season what do you want pre-season friendlies against the infirm or the Yams?? He scored 1 from 4 against English Premier Teams so can't see why there is hype surrounding him.

What is fact is that Benji pre-season was looking leaner, fitter and sharper than anyone had seen before, the start to his season has consisted of 45 mins against the Yams in which he was unlucky not to score 2, full 90 against The Sons of Yams where he played 45 mins as a lone target man and okay 33 mins against Utd at Tannadice - wasn't there on Sat so cant comment on his performance but seems he had a few chances.

Dont forget Benji is only 22 and has scored 15 goals in 28 appearances for us so far, my opinion (and you have yours) is that if he can keep injury free and doesn't get whisked away along the M8

then Benji will not be a kick in the arse away from 20+ this season and next season etc etc.

Hope this has opened your mind to a perhaps more positive spin on Benji
