adelphi1867 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It was blatantly obvious in the 2nd half yesterday, as it was against Bristol City, that Bannan will not pass top Reach. Many times, in both games, Bannan turned away from the pass to play the ball side ways or back, or worst still, lose the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Reach is too tall and thin. Due to Barrys size and combover, Reach is virtually invisible to him. It's a physics freak of nature thing and totally out of Bazzas control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Against Bristol Bannan passed to him time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Because, on several occasions yesterday when the crowd were baying for the pass to Reach, whilst he was on space he was also directly in line with the Forest player in between Bannon and himself......being in space is good but you also have to make an angle to receive the pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Several players didn't pass to Reach when he was in acres of space on the left. Time and again he was stood waving his arms in despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His crossing was excellent when he did get it, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluey9 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 One of the topics of conversation with our bunch yesterday was the fact that nobody seems to want to pass to reach. I'm not saying that he didn't see anything of the ball because he did, but no where near enough for my liking. Spoke to Pudl outside the ground and he said he should be back Tuesday, So we might see Reach back in his preferred role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Princeabdullah Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Barry bannan is a fantastic player, but the last three games I've watched Wednesday he has been off his game in my opinion. Do you think he is playing too deep? He has seemed to receive the ball in the wrong areas to be affective of late. It's just my opinion. Lee and abdi would be my choice against Blackburn. Give Barry a rest? Abdi played well when he came on yesterday. I hope Barry is ok with his injury, but gives abdi a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It's because he can't see him, the bottom half of the stands are blue and the new home kit makes any player on the wing blend in. That's why Wallace played more in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Reach isn't really a left back. Maybe there was a plan. To only let him have the ball going forward when Cover was there or risk was lower or summat. He showed he can't really defend, but he's gonna be a reight winger. Or left before anyone says it.

DobbinTheDonkey Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Bannan found it hard to pass to anyone, we kept the ball a lot more as soon as Abdi came on. He made not have made any 'Hollywood' passes, which Bannan likes and usually misses but he kept the ball moving at all times and was always available at just about every opportunity.

AlbertOB Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 why did Reach clatter Fessi yesterday late on........did he not see him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlLuke Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Other than his wonder goal against Bristol I have not really rated Bannan this season, he seems a lot more negative, passing backward most of the time, or holding onto the ball long enough to lose the ball. Shows how bad it is when the fans jeered when he finally did pass to Reach. As much as I love him, I honestly think he needs dropping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's been our stand our player so far this season. Yesterday was an off day for him but we still managed to get the 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time and again he was stood waving his arms in despair. They're not used to having a touchline hugging winger in the team. They don't realise he's there! In all seriousness, I was part of the North stand crowd who were shouting to pass it to Reach - it wasn't just Bannan, it was Forestieri as well. Thought Bannan had his worst game of the season yesterday. He was really good against Bristol in the second half but yesterday it just wasn't happening for him. Just now, AlbertOB said: why did Reach clatter Fessi yesterday late on........did he not see him? That was just comical. The Forest fans must have been wetting themselves at that. I think Reach was just trying to get round FF to get further up the pitch. FF had his back to him and he didn't see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish we stopped conceding first, not good for the heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
