At least a couple of us from this forum are goingAnyone going to Luton tomorrow night??
Bennetts has always had talent but has been inconsistent - quite a different player to Edwards as he's generally more about explosive pace on the outside and a cross, whereas Edwards is all about his tricky dribbling, balance and close control.Bennetts looks unreal - where has he come from!? I'm sure I've never heard of his promise before in the same way Onomah, Winks, Edwards, Kane were always highly rated at youth level. But a few games last season and that game he seems to be ripping teams apart.
He genuinely looks like a stronger Edwards.

I was there today to watch the West Ham game played under leaden skies with intermittent drizzle.
I had to remind myself that it is still August as I was constantly on the verge of shivering. Anyway, before the game started I asked someone if Marcus Edwards was playing. That guy turned out to be his father.
I had a nice little chat with him but he is a well known figure so couldn't really spend more time with him unfortunately. His boy played well and it was nice to finally watch him live. One thing that struck me about him is that his shorts meet his socks due to him having short legs. And it is only when he runs that you get a glimpse of his knees. He is purely a play maker who doesn't move about an awful lot. The rest of them are much of a muchness. Tanganga looks a prospect and Edwards is the only player to have a sprinkling of stardust.
It was men against boys again and WHU deserved to win. Their number five Akinola stood out.
I did think I might be the only spectator but there was actually two hundred plus people watching.
I didn't realise he is still only sixteen years old. He did bloody well then considering he was playing against men.How'd Skipp look? For being so young I've been extremely impressed with him over the last 2 years. I briefly watched the U16s play two seasons ago but didn't have a roster or much info, wish I could have known him back then!
I would say at U18 and U23 matches you could almost always expect 100+ spectators unless the weather is shit
