Joe Bennett, the veteran left-back for Oxford United, remains a resolute force in his defensive duties despite the autumn of his career. His playing style is notably combative, characterised by an impeccable record in physical confrontations, where he's impressively emerged victorious in every duel. This steadfastness in duels is balanced by an aerial prowess rarely seen in full-backs, making him a formidable presence in defensive scenarios. While his ball retention is commendable, suggesting composure under pressure, his offensive contributions are more subdued, with limited impact in creating chances or driving the ball forward. Notably playing slightly deeper than one might expect, Bennett's activity is predominantly in the midfield and defensive thirds, underscoring his defensive emphasis. However, his ability to intercept and recover the ball is less prominent, possibly attributed to his advanced age and the physical demands of the Championship. Despite this, his consistent positioning continues to offer a steadying influence on Oxford's backline. His tidy passing, though not among the elite, shows reliability in maintaining possession—a crucial asset for any team aiming to build from the back. As he adapts to the pressures of the Championship, Bennett's experience and defensive solidity remain vital to Oxford United’s ambitions this season.
