BS3City Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Wasn't there a time when he was rated on a par with Alex Scott? What a bonus a fully fit Ayman would be to the squad! In his own time of course. Best wishes Ayman... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was , the few games I seen him play for the first team , lots of promise and a real edge to him , looking forward to seeing him back fit and well . Big injury to overcome though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was such a time then Scott has fully kicked on where Benarous has had some serious set backs. That said I have never seen him play. I just find it hard to believe we had one Scott at our club at all, let alone two at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benarous has also been capped at England Youth level which not a huge amount of our youngsters have. If we hadn’t had Scott we’d have high hopes of Ayman being our best ever prospect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Billy Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 I remember him kicking someone’s boot away in a match after it had fallen off and being a general nuisance whilst playing on the front foot and looking to move the ball forward. Hope he recovers fully and picks up where he left off. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first season they both started getting game time, I was always more impressed by him than I was by Scott. Of course, he's faced horrendous injury setbacks since then & may never properly recover- but if he does, then he will be a fantastic addition to the squad. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Hope the football works out - looks like the family fast food empire (Quigleys on the centre) has closed to be replaced by a Miss Millies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott’s touch, technique and game maturity was way ahead of Ayman imho. And that stemmed back to seeing him a FAYC match where he was better than anyone else on the pitch, and it was effortless too. For me it was little surprise he looked comfortable as soon as he made the first team. He quickly moved on to being an important player. Not may 17 year olds do that. After a very poor substitute debut from Ayman (Barnsley), he did well in the small number of games he played after that in 21/22, was really looking forward to seeing him last season until news of his ACL broke. Hope he makes a full recovery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The danger is now as Atkinson / Conway / Benerous get back on the grass ( god I hate that saying ) and then get some games under there belt ( that one too ) there is always a big risk of either breaking down or more likely picking up little niggles that put you back a few more weeks at a time . regarding injuries I have a negativity in me that either Williams , Naismith and James have a injury just around the corner. If we could keep a pretty much fully fit squad think we might surprise a few people . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benarous is different and I think they will let him take his own sweet time. Still a while away IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Think we are possibly underselling Scott a bit. Standing ovation when substituted on full competitive League debut, playing at Non League level age 16 us quite a rare route yet IMO served him well. Benarous had promise but the other factor is how will now pushing 18 months away from the first team injured affect his development? It is bound to sadly. Irrespective, Scott though was surely and consistently ahead of Benarous- he was our main shining light in about 4 or 5 months of some real struggle. We started to become a bit more freescoring and positive December, January onwards perhaps but we were struggling quite badly and Scott was our main creator, our main outlet in this time- all the more remarkable considering his age and experience. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great talent, huge potential. But it must be difficult to get over two serious injuries in such a short space of time. He had a good pre-season, top performer in the bleep tests I think, but not a lot of pitch time. It must take a toll mentally as well as physically. I really hope he fully recovers and will be very impressed if he comes back and gets into the squad this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the minor injury (hamstring) is just that, a minor muscle injury, and that ACL stood up well to the fitness regime that got him back playing in the u21s in August.

A lot is made about a players physical recovery, being back on grass, running etc - but little is ever referenced as to their mental recovery. Do players who previously might have gone in committed to the challenge now find themselves holding back a bit because they're worried that they might break down again? Never seems to get a mention - from clubs, players, managers or fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seems to get a mention - from clubs, players, managers or fans. Nige has mentioned a fair bit about the mental side of injury, certainly during rehab. I agree that some players might be tentative in doing certain things. Michael Owen mentioned that he stopped making certain runs because he knew that might put strain on his hammers, so he made lots more runs short into feet that bending a run into the channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rs Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Would hope to see him before Christmas, but as nige has repeatedly said after those injuries we can’t rush him back especially with the potential he holds/held. I only saw him play in person a handful of times but always impressed for me. When him and scott came through I thought it was clear that Scott had the technicals but Benarous game intelligence and awareness was miles ahead at the time. Always understood what to do in the moment. And would press relentlessly. iirc he played in the (Barnsley I think) game where we finally broke the winless streak at the gate. Though he played brilliantly for someone his age. Will be interesting to see how he looks after so long away from professional football, but he’s had the metal to ride through it all so far so I still think he can prove to be something special.

I'm hoping he's young enough to recover well. But yes you do worry he might not be quite the same player that he looked to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayman was here first by a fair while wasn’t he. Scott only signed 12.12.99, but quickly went from FAYC side (and being best player on the pitch v Fleetwood) to making his debut as sub and then full debut in 20/21 season under Nige. Some rise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Re Benarous - I was hoping it wasn't the case, but it was becoming clear that he had another set back. Sounds like a big set back as well, what a shame for the lad. Concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
