owlZfan84 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Really, really doesn't work. He looked totally lost out there in the first half. Pudil had no one in front of him. Huge mistake IMO - glad that CC put it right at half time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Plenty of games where Pudil and Bannan paired well down the left. The odd exception does not make a general rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bannan is dire on the left, why waste ff who is by and far the best in that position in the division. We are slow and predictable when we line up like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richowl Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I agree. Trying to accommodate bannan/lee/lopez in midfield just isn't working. One should miss out & FF out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ash76 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I agree. Trying to accommodate bannan/lee/lopez in midfield just isn't working. I agree too but it can work, Kieran Lee on the right please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls66 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bannan was very poor in the first half. He kept giving the ball away and was ineffective for the most part. Be moved to the centre in the second half, he looked far more assured and comfortable and his overall performance improved dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxing_day Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I agree too but it can work, Kieran Lee on the right please Don't think lee with play on the right again after the Bristol performance there. Just didn't work I'm afraid. I think that's why cc has been pushing Bannan out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 For much of the season we played with a midfield four of Bannan, Hutchinson, Lee, and Wallace. Worked pretty damn well - including in the destruction of Arsenal. To claim now that Bannan on the left is a no-no...nothing short of contradictory.

1867Heaven Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's similar to when England stuck Scholes on left just to fit him in team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bannan was poor as a whole tonight, worst game he's played for us. He's been poor since he's come back from suspension in truth. Really frustrates me that he tries the same thing and expects a different outcome. Tonight was exactly that. Funny that we won 3/3 without him in the side and not won the last 3 with him starting.

boxing_day Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Wasn't there, can't comment. Looked comfortable enough there in the past though It was very poor mate, worse than tonight's first half. It's a while since lee had played there and it showed badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 When he first joined he played on the left and did quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamK2292 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Great point I mean forget the previous 35/36 games My point is he's allowed to walk straight back in when we were in good form. Shouldn't work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bannan looks lost on the left. Hate it when he starts there. He is our heartbeat in the centre. Forestieri is lethal on the left. He can cut in and shoot or he can go outside and pass or shoot. Hooper is a wondeful player. Forestieri is a wonderful player....but not played as a strikeforce. All wrong.

boxing_day Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 My point is he's allowed to walk straight back in when we were in good form. Shouldn't work like that. Mentioned in another thread a lad was moaning about him on the way out and said we'd only won 1 out of the last 9 hed started. Think he's changed the way he's played. Too many Hollywood ball attempts, lots of nice turns and pivots, but then goes back inside and slows the play down. Earlier in the season he was turning people inside out and moving the ball forward quickly. Loads of short sharpe link up play and was frankly unplayable at times. Not sure if it's come from the management or just a dip in form but he needs to get back to playing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike312 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bannan is wasted on the left, he's not involved enough. We have FF, Matias and McGeedy to play the position. Not sure why CC is persisting with it. Possibly trying to fit BB, Lopez and Lee into the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.flem Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Said in another thread he looked like he had face on with being wide to me. He looked disinterested till he was switched central. Disappointed with his attitude 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
