Loving the video released with Ben talking.

One thing is clear, New guys at the top are making a big effort to connect with the fans and that is really encouraging.

According to Swans Indy?

I'd actually seen it from Vital Swans, but I suppose the Indy also got a foot in the door

Happy with this.
Last 2 games aside (same for all), he’s been looking good this season.

I know a LOT of people think Ben is part of the problem here, but I don't. He's good enough at this level. I think most of the issues that end up with him and Darling getting pelters is down to how we play.

Think Cabango does well is get rid of the ball fairly quickly bit like Nathan Wood and his passing range though is questionable at times.

Darling is a better technical player and has a better longer range passing. However, his walking out of our third waiting for someone to foul him is just infuriating to watch. Rather he got the ball out quicker and the other players give him the options.

Wood was shite, couldn’t play football and couldn’t defend. At least Bungle is a good defender and a threat at set pieces.

I've seen Cabango compared to Kyle Bartley, and I can see it.

Both big, physically imposing defenders good at the hustle and bustle of it but perhaps lacking in the finesse, ball skills and ultimate quality required for the top level. KB has had a much better career than many of his detractors anticipated, spending most of it at the top end of the Championship with the odd foray higher. Cabango is cut from the same cloth IMO.

Good business extending him where we are at the moment.

I want one of my central defenders just to head the ball, tackle the opposition and clear it when needed.

Plus he's a smashing lad and a real credit to the club, I'm pleased for him and I hope he's getting paid what he feels he is worth.

All he needs is a manger that asks him to play to his strengths.

Bit of a blip recently but good news.

Good asset at this level and still only 24

spot on

Case of club getting pelters either way again - some moaning that he's signed and no
Doubt some wiuld if he left

Better the devil you know comes to mind, could waste millions trying to replace him, has improved as a footballer but still as a long way to go but I’m not complaining though.

Still only 24 too

Probably in top 6/7 centre backs in the league
