Sol thewall Bamba Posted 12 February 2020 Posted 12 February 2020 Wouldn't say that first was his fault, he followed his man and the midfield didn't pick up the third man run from Waghorn.

Left back was massively out of position, if he was in position then he would have been able to spot the waghorn run and might of been able to put a challenge in himself
Spudulike Posted 12 February 2020 Posted 12 February 2020 He's got his own thread on OTIB. Sorry, can't do links on my phone.

UniFox21 Posted 13 February 2020 Posted 13 February 2020 Looks to be rated well by a lot of them, a few trying to figure out if he's to blame for the conceded goals with it looking like a classic blame game

brucey Posted 13 February 2020 Posted 13 February 2020 https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/i-might-brendan-rodgers-phone-3841980 Lee Johnson says Filip Benkovic is comparable to former Bristol City star Adam Webster in the way he uses the ball - and revealed he may play the on-loan Leicester City defender up front if needs be. The Robins signed the centre-back on loan from Leicester on transfer deadline day and he made his first start for the club last night as they ran out 3-2 winners over Derby County, with Benkovic getting on the scoresheet. Reflecting on City's January business, Johnson said Benkovic has the potential to fill a hole up front if his side are chasing a game after the 22-year-old revealed he played as a striker when younger. "In the Championship you want to make sure every box is ticked," Johnson said. "You want all the clubs in the bag - probably the only club we haven't got in the bag is that 6ft 6in striker, but funnily enough, Benkovic was a striker until he was 16. "He said to me that all he ever wanted to be was a striker, so I said that was handy, did he mind going up there in the last 10 minutes? "He'll be well happy with that goal." He joked: "I might have Brendan Rodgers on the phone asking me what I'm doing when I'm playing him up front."
Guest TamworthFoxes Posted 15 February 2020 Posted 15 February 2020 Only made the bench for Bristol today.

You think that's strange and their manager is talking about using him as a striker?

cruzFOX Posted 15 February 2020 Posted 15 February 2020 I do want Benko to get over his injury hoodoo and have some solid consistency. There’s a brilliant player inside their wanting to come out. just hope like with Celtic he has a great spell in the championship but then returns to us crocked again

Spudulike Posted 25 February 2020 Posted 25 February 2020 Starting for Bristol City tonight and booked after 11 mins Simmo starts for Huddersfield but Kingy only makes the bench.
Spudulike Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 On the bench today. Clearly they haven't been that impressed with him so far.

Yeah it’s an odd one though as the majority of their fans were bemused he wasn’t included. Seeing as they got spanked he should be back in for the next game. Why could really do with him getting a good run of games in.
CosbehFox Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 Bristol City have lost three on the bounce - Benkovic not played a minute of any despite being on the bench.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 Not a good sign this. Something has gone massively backwards since the injury at Celtic. Not looking like the future is he?
Tuna Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 He was very expensive, not impressed to see him not starting for Bristol City.
UniFox21 Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 Sad that he hasn't kicked on at all, makes sense as to why he wasn't given opportunities here

You could say the same with Diabate, too - apparently was highly-rated before he came here, but has only scored 1 in 20 at Amiens (still on the books at LCFC).
UniFox21 Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 Just now, Wymsey said: Agree really. You could say the same with Diabate, too - apparently was highly-rated before he came here, but has only scored 1 in 20 at Amiens (still on the books at LCFC). Diabate was such a weird one, joined in January and was a breath of fresh air with his weird trickery and running at defences, just lacked that final pass. Then almost disappeared from view and ended up on 2 loans out. Benkovic I can see being a similar one, promising talent ruined by seemingly picking up continuous knocks and a mistake in him. He is only 22, so no need to offload just yet. He needs a solid loan of consistent games to improve its where he gets that
urban fox Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 Something clearly does not add up with Benko. he got rave reviews up at Celtic and was starting to look like the real deal. Not sure if the injuries have set him back or knocked his confidence when it come to getting tackles in etc. It always bemused me that after being a regular under Rodgers at Celtic he didn't get more of a chance here, hardly even featuring on the bench and assumed it was due to still not having fully recovered. The one game he did start he looked pretty assured and comfortable on the ball until he picked up another knock
