Seems like the Bornmuff ruski revolution has hit the buffers already - 2 defeats in a row.
As for Benson v Burns - Excellent!

Seems to be a true poacher. His last 2 goals have been scrappy 'fox in the box' type goals. Seems like he works very hard and runs into good spaces. A good signing.

On the radio after the game he said he thought that was about his 98th professional goal and that about 96 were inside the 6 yard box! |

Yeah, very much a fox in the box - exactly what we needed.
What with his age and the amount of time he's spent injured recently I did wonder whether he would be good enough and fit enough to make an instant impact.
He has - 3 of his 4 goals have been winners so far.

It's his general awareness as well. That first time back heel to Bodin for example for the 'red card that wasn't' incident v Crawley was fantastic.

Agreed. Benson has nous: as a runner, as a finisher, as a link man. He is the piece that was missing in our jigsaw. He is already one of our key players, along with McCormack, Ritchie, Foderingham and Ferry.
And Caddis. Really shouldn't have missed him out.

I really like Benson. Very intelligent player and the sort of striker we haven't had for a while.

That's it. He may be a fox in the box, but when he was scoring for Torquay so was Benyon. But there seems to be so much more about Benson's play, the flick ons, the running the channels and he looks like he reads the game and has a bit of a footballing brain. Shame he's the wrong side of 30, but its not going to be an issue for a bit. |

He is surprisingly quick for a big older player too.
