    Ahh yes of course Josh Benson who had played a grand total of zero games at this level prior to this season and thus far has looked okay and nothing more would get into the majority of championship sides. Come off it!

    the same people having our players as world beaters are the same people who were calling them rubbish under struber.

    Its obvious that we overperformed last year. And anyone who suggests otherwise is blinkered to the extent that their arguements can’t be taken seriously.

    As for this year, are we below the position i thought and hoped we would be at the moment but remember we have only had a small part of the season. So time to improve. Or of course get worse!

    I think some people have/had decided the manager is no good so nothing will change their opinions.

    Have we signed two josh Bensons? Because the one I know about has played in the premier League.

    I suppose technically he's never played at THIS level in the same way that Christiano ronaldo hasn't

    Great work. Lovely point scoring. And excellent pedantry.

    Of course you are correct. One game (I may be wrong but I’m sure you’ll be here to let me know if I’m not!) Where they lost 5-0. Before a loan to League 2 Grimsby.

    but of course you can make it sound like he was a premier league regular and throw in top players names to make your (correct but ridiculous) point sound less stupid.

    Top tip. When you don't know what you're talking about it's probably best not to just keep guessing wrong answers

    Furthermore in the interests of being a boring pedant (which you appear well versed in) I’m fairly sure ‘Christiano ronaldo’ hasn’t played in the premier league either.

    Top tip. When you’re using a ridiculously minor and essentially irrelevant fact in terms of the debated point to try to undermine someone you should probably just not bother.

    To be clear, the point you are interjecting with is that the fact Benson played 1 game for Burnley in the premier league makes my suggestion that he isn’t a certain pick for many championship teams is wrong.

    It isn’t. You know but are just antagonising and not offering anything to the debate.

    He didn't play one game for Burnley in the premier League, he payed against Man city twice for a start and he played against Sheffield United, and Leeds and... You get the point

    You said he's never played at this level before, he's played in the premier League several times. I think that's a pretty big point to get wrong 3 times

    Well I would argue 2 starts and 4 sub appearances and a loan to Grimsby is irrelevant to the argument that he should be a starter for most Championship teams.

    But again. The point is that you are being a pedant. And that Benson wouldn’t be a starter for most championship teams.

    but then I suppose that doesn’t matter because I didn’t check soccerbase before my original post!

    By that point we should resign Emmanuel Frimpong.

    Spot on Schopp is rubbish and when he is sacked and we get someone else in to allow these lads to play up to their true ability then we can all look back fondly saying wasnt Schopp rubbish and it was a good job we sacked him when we did.

    I think you can over perform in the odd game not for over half a season.

    None of our players have been called world beaters and some of our players have progressed a lot in experience since Struber was here.

    Benson is a good footballer who will in a short space of time with more game time get better and better.
