The annoying thing is, I think Bennett and Howson are good players...

But they're just not right mentally.

For example, Elliott Bennett has loads of pace and acceleration but he is allergic to taking on full-backs and whipping the ball in. He has the ability to do it but he doesn't seem to believe in himself.

Howson is probably more interested in fishing than football. But we've seen some flashes of what he can do - for example that run he went on towards the tail-end of the game last night. Against Luton he was dogs**t and seemed to think he could just jog around without much purpose. I think someone needs to get into him and give him a kick up the arse - he has the pace and fitness to get around the park and cause problems but he hasn't been doing it, even when he's been coming on for Wes which is supposedly his favourite position.
