    Is this the Season for Josh Benson and Matty Wolfe shake off there injury cursed past seasons. And become the quality players that we have only seen rare glimpses of ?

    We saw at the start of the Duff season that Benson can be very good at this level. Just hope for his and our sake he can stay injury free

    I would give Benson until January to prove some worth to the club. If he cant stay fit just pay him up and move him on.

    We need to inject some attacking quality in the squad. Some pace and ability to run with the ball especially.

    Unfortunately, injury prone players, moreso Benson than Wolfe, can't just "knuckle down" and get on with it, the fact is that his body just isn't up to the rigors of professional football. He will get injured again, it's pretty much guaranteed. Wolfe, we'll just have to wait and see.

    We can't have any room for passengers though, so if they're consistently getting recurring injuries and not contributing to the first team squad, they need to be cut loose. That's harsh, but we're not a charity.

    I agree, there is a good player there but I am afraid I think he is not going to fair much better this season than in previous ones. Himself, Cundy and Wolfe seem destined for the football scrapheap. I hope I am wrong and they have an I jury free and sucessful season.

    I could be wrong but I think Wolfe and benson are around the 24 mark now? They’re certainly not kids anyway.

    If they were going to make it crack they would have done by now. If they’re under contract still then we have no choice but to live in hope as no-one else will take them. But we can’t build a squad that relies on them 2 being injury free for any length of time.

    Wolfe was certainly not out of place in the team in the championship, he's suffered a bad injury and then a setback - I'd have more faith in him then Benson in making a contribution.
