Hilly on DalePlayer 21:34 - Aug 31 with 4371 views | love_the_dale | His interview had me in stitches. 'I'm not a taxi driver by trade. I'm not a DIY manager' Discuss. Has anyone any idea what he is saying? Not that I care - I think the man is a genius - really intelligent and I'm sure cleverer people than me will know what he is talking about. Rhys Bennett would like to play centre back. Keith - 'Would you rather play right back or substitute?' Brilliant. He has two new players lined up - any ideas? | ![](/images/avatars/5207.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Classic. Bennett was immense at fullback today, MOM. No reason for him to play anywhere else. Our most potent attacking threat and pretty solid in defence. | ![](/images/avatars/5028.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Hilly on DalePlayer on 23:29 - Aug 31 with 4169 views | middale | For the sake of Dale, the correct answer to that question should be substitute. That was one of the worst 45 minutes I've ever seen from a professional footballer. One good cross does not disguise the fact he will never be a right back. For Hill sides to work, the full backs must be comfortable on the ball. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

middale, have a word with yourself The lad is coming back from a serious injury. If his display was one of the worst you've seen, you must have seen about 3 Dale games. He needs game time to get back up to speed, and today will have done him the power of good, because when he's 100% he'll be too good for L2 | ![](/images/avatars/1219.gif) |

If you thought Bennett was bad enough to be demoted to substitute, Rose and Lancashire must be in the reserves the number of stray passes they played and instances that they were caught in possession. It was more than one assist Bennett offered, created our other best chance and looked more than comfortable on the ball. Frightening opinion. [Post edited 2 Sep 2013 7:09]

I agree - looked more comfortable on the ball is a frightening opinion! OK, two good moments then, and yes a big second half improvement, but that wouldn't be difficult from a dreadful first half - watch the video back if one exists. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Sounds like Rose had his usual wasteful game. Would love to see his pass completions stats. In fact, no, I'd hate to see them. | ![](/images/avatars/1813.gif) |

Admittedly, he didn't make as big of an impact first half, but I don't feel he played notably worse than the rest of our defence. And as D_Alien pointed out, that was coming back after a long lay off. I expect to see much more of him in that position. While I haven't seen Vidal play to make a comparison, Bennett is a step up from Rafferty. | ![](/images/avatars/5028.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
