Ben Garrity

[philmpv]

What a start to the season he's had. Same amount of League goals as Clark-Harris to date.

 

Just shows how wasted he was being played so deep last season. I understand why DC did that, with the other options available to him, but clearly Ben thrives further up the pitch. He's like a new player.

 

Long may it continue

I'm a huge fan of Garrity. Fantastic attitude

Will play anywhere that he's asked to. Great at heading corners away. Left foot,right foot,headers....can score any way he can.

I'd pick him over Alfie because he can drop back,push up and run all match 

I only see Alfie or Chizzy,not both...unless Garrity has to play up front on his own.

Me too. He’s a winner (well hates losing at least), saw him digging out Planty yesterday after we conceded a corner in the first half (James gave back as good as he got which is encouraging too for a young player). If Ben has a similar season to his first with us then means other players, like Devine etc will have to step up their performances if they want to displace him and that can only be good for us.  What’s different this season is we have more players with similar/better stamina as Garrity has always had which means he doesn’t now have cover every blade of grass like he did last year, even though he still does (water covers 70% of the Earth’s surface, Ben Garrity covers the rest….), this frees him up to make more of those late runs into the box for the Blaster, Funso and Chizzy to pick him out.  If he stays injury free, at this rate he’ll be in double figures for goals again for a season and makes getting him to re-sign preseason great business.

If Garrity keeps up this form we'll have a job to keep him in January.

Contracted until June 2025 so if he did leave then the club would be given a decent fee for him

Garrity is my favourite player, he's not as technically gifted as the rest of the midfield but he works his <ovf censored> off every game and takes it personally when he is dropped. What a man

The bugger is getting me in to trouble,  the missus is sick of me humming " ben gattitys the best on earth", lol

Glad he's getting the praise he deserves! He's not the most technically-gifted of players, but, if we had a couple more like him we'd be difficult to beat! I hope we can hang on to him for a while - he seems to like it with us...and he'd be hard to replace!

A very good player is Ben .

If you watch all his goals back they are all different but quality .

Keep them coming .

At times last season I though it was a league too high for him but his attitude is brilliant and never say die approach is great.He does the hard work to create the spaces for others. He's stepped up big time this year.He seems a great bloke to have around. The team seem to have a great bond this year.That's credit to Crosby and Flitcroft.

Does the simple things very well was my first thought. That refers to being in possession of the ball.

He also does the very difficult things of being in the right place at the right time, working very hard and selflessly, winning tackles and headers, getting forward and back.

Probably many more things too...

A dream of a player.
