According to West London Sport, Daniel Bennie is in contention to play a part in the first team after Burrell's injury. Interesting as he was linked with League one loans just this week.
I think there is something about Bennie that will see him succeed. Certainly has built up his strength and is more than happy to put a boot in where it hurts, also it seems that he knows where the back of the net is.

Agreed, he's looked very promising in the dev squad so will do him good playing senior football now.
I hope I'm proven wrong but from the snippets I've seen I think he's just had a lucky streak of form in the stiffs - sometimes they just go in. I don't think he has pace, strength, size, finesse, vision, creativity, workrate, engine, aggression, confidence, nor is he a baller. 5/10 on so many dimensions.

Blimey. Perhaps wait to form a strong opinion from more than just snippets you’ve seen?

Bennie is far far too good for the Development Squad, head and shoulders above the rest. Nothing to do with a lucky streak. He's improved a lot since he's been here as well. I'll be really interested to see how he fairs in the Championship.
Re: starting over Kolli, definitely odd but surely fitness related? Stephan was quoted as asking Kolli if he was tired before his brace and wondering if he needed a sub, so there are clearly still issues there. He's come back from a couple of long lay-offs and hasn't played much football recently, so must be quite a way off full match-fitness.
Be a bit odd after Sunday if Kolli goes back to the bench and Bennie starts...
Perhaps they want to keep Kolli fit for the league games when Burrell is out? Be so QPR to injure Burrells direct replacement in a cup game bearing in mind Kollis injury record.

I wonder if they are concerned with Kolli's fitness, want to manage him back into games so will rotate with Bennie, oir have Bennie come on after 60 mins most games. I think I saw somewhere Kolli saying he was tired in the last game, and Julien checked on him, so I suspect we think we can't play him as much as Burrell played (and Burrell played a lot and / or possibly a bit too much).

I think he does have pace and size, workrate seems ok. Some of the other categories who knows, we'll need to see a lot more of him. He's probably a baller, they all are these days.
But IF he were to get in the team ahead of Kolli at this moment it would just scream of internal politics Shirley?
Well yeah, our fit strikers are Kone, Kolli and Frey. Kolli has had his share of injury issues and Frey is definitely out of contention now. So it stands to reason he will! I don't think Kolli will manage 90 on Sunday, he was struggling with his fitness by the end last Sunday. Bennie has form against this opposition anyway...
I just think it means Bennie will be the back up to Kone and Kolli. He is sure to see more minutes as Kolli is just back from injury and wont do 90 mins. I don't think it means he leapfrogs Kolli.
I imagine Kolli will be the starter but they'll be managing his fitness (like they completely failed to do with Burrell). Stephan said he was talking about subbing him off at the end of the Wednesday game because they were worried they'd injure him
I'm an armchair enthusiast who knows nothing. More likely to be wrong than right. It's just how it looks to me having watched hundreds of players turn out for Rangers over the years. As I say, hope I'm wrong! And I don't write him off, he deserves a chance to show what he can do and I'd have him 4th choice striker behind Kolli (who I think has a chance of being very good) and ahead of Frey (who I have written off).
When was the last time Kolli played 90 minutes? Or back to back games? He barely managed 70 minutes on Sunday.
We've got ten games before March, when Burrell is supposed to be training again at the earliest. And that first streak of March games is a three-game week.
So, let's call it 13 games before we see Burrell back at best. Do we think Kolli will be fit to play in seven of them?
Of course Bennie's "in contention" for a run of games. All of our hybrid 10s and wingers will be.
I bet they sign someone on loan though too (and more than one).

From somebody who watches a LOT of the development squad, described him as: "Suits the striker role much more than a creative midfield slot. Hard working, stretches defences and fast enough to threaten high lines. Also shown himself capable in the box. Generally very good decision making. Maybe a bit lightweight and not enough of a natural finisher to play ST in the championship but time will tell"
