Re: Anass Zaroury
He does lack a bit of pace, but he has the talent to make that less of an issue. I’m still hopeful that he’ll do well at this level.
Benson is more of a concern - he has the skills, pace and ability. He just seems to either be made of glass or perhaps a bit to ready to succumb to minor niggles.

Definitely don’t try chocolate covered flapjack.
I took one to Sheffield Wednesday away 09/08/08. Not only were we walloped but said flapjack was confiscated on entry, in case I decided to throw it rather than eat it.
The confiscation annoys me more than the result, now!

Re: Worst premier league squad we've had
We are two / three players away from being a decent enough side. The issue is that the two / three required are needed in key areas.
We have to give them time - my concern is a toxic atmosphere developing and that is the last thing that this young squad needs right now.
