    Probably the last time we’ve seen him in a red shirt.

    What an unlucky time, for him and us. A fit, on form player could have been the difference between us going up the last couple of seasons (ok maybe not last season).

    I guess there’s a slim chance of him staying on vastly reduced wages, which honestly might not be the worst punt to see if we can finally get him fit.

    If not, all the best Josh - I don’t think you’re at fault in any way for how things panned out here. Sometimes you don’t get what you deserve.

    With the transfer fee and wages for what little we got in return, he can't be far off Oulare for waste of money. Big difference is for Benson it's because he's made of biscuit.

    Great lad, very talented, but it's time to move on.

    It would be very Barnsley if he gets fixed up elsewhere and plays 46 league games next season. And I hope that's the case.

    Completely different scenarios. Don't put no blame on the club or Benson for what's happened. I put all the blame Oulare + Lee/Conway for Oulare... Shocking transfer

    All the talent in the world but not been able to realise his potential and absolutely impossible to stay fit.

    what might have been but yes time to part ways.

    He’s likely to help get that team promoted and get a hat trick against us as well….

    Not Benson's fault but if we take a "punt" he may get fit we will seriously be losing the plot. Time to clear everyone we can who's contract is up with maybe a year extension for Humphrys? Rebuild time and we need all the wage savings we can muster.

    Who was the player who went to Rotherham and did just that, constantly on the treatment table with us? I'm sure he signed in the summer for them and turned out about 30 times. Now what's going round my head is Blackburn Rovers, New Zealand, Ryan and Williams. I did a quick going search for Ryan Williams and got an NFL player so l couldn't be arsed.

    A really gifted footballer. On the odd times he's played I've enjoyed watching him. When fit he is well above third division level. I hope he stays, but even. If he moves it begs the question who will take him with such a poor record of injury?
