Slave to the rhythm Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Bolton? A game or two before he left? It was his last game, I believe. And the dark days of Benny were then upon us....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 still benny bashing, he was better than ward agree. Should never have been given the managers job hee though as that was not what he was bought in to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 He gave the kids a chance too and was the making of our batch of local lads that came through around then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 A televised Sky game too. Couldn't get to the game and watched it with some beers in Reading. Thought at the time it would be our turning point. How wrong I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfred Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 If my memory serves me correct, our next game after Bolton was a 0-0 draw with QPR live on Sky on a Friday night? Spooky if I'm right..... Edit - Soccerbase proves me wrong, by about 4 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to the rhythm Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 still benny bashing, he was better than ward Your proof? Bear in mind that Ward did actually get us promoted whereas Benny simply guided us to bottom of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_black91 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Your proof? Bear in mind that Ward did actually get us promoted whereas Benny simply guided us to bottom of the league. Maybe being assistant for Ivory Coast at the world cup? If you look at Benny's CV there can be no doubt that he has achieved a great deal. John Ward achieved one promotion with us, threw his toys out of the pram and has been distinctly average elsewhere. Benny brought the kids through, made some really good signings (Ivan T, Sebok, S Anderson). I don't think Benny was given a fair crack at the whip and would liked to have seen him lead us out in the then division one. The fact was he inherited a team with a shockingly bad and ill-equiped defence and to keep us in that league at that time would have been an absolute miracle.

BCFC_Dan Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Soren Andersen was a Ward signing. Goalkeeper Bo Andersen was Benny's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't care about Benny's involvement with the Ivory Coast, to be honest. It's what he did at Ashton Gate which interests me. And what do you mean by "he brought the kids through"?

Jim Brennan, Aaron Brown, Matt Hill, Steve Phillips - all given their debuts by Benny except Brennan and he was only a bit-part player until Benny took over.
