torres Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Outstanding last night The only one who never shirks responsibility, works harder than anyone in the team and has real ability We'd be lost without him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 He’s been fantastic for Wednesday, the heartbeat of the side. The ironic cheers when he passed it out to Fox were a bit pathetic because you can’t play the obvious ball every single time. Fans are clueless at times.

You have to play it when there's nothing else on. He ended up playing back to the centre back instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Agreed, except for his occasional reluctance to pass out wide to Fox/Reach. Im all for varying the approach, but Fox was getting acres of space and, when he did get the ball, put in some enticing crosses. In games like yesterday, Bannan should keep it simple. That said, he did have a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I do wish he'd stop sprinting 40 yards to chase keeper down, leaving a massive gap in CM for his partner to cover though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyowl Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Bannan was head and shoulders above all the rest, a pleasure to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAnotherShez Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 "But he'll never get dropped will he?" "He's one of CC's mates" Good god, he ought to be everyone's mate. 100% every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Powers Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Been our best player this season. Although that's not saying an awful lot, he is always the one trying to make things happen. Just needs to stop those annoying little 10 yard dinks into the box that Hooper can never control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 He's the engine room with an outstanding workrate. Ok he's not gonna get everything perfect but he sees twice as much of the ball than any other player on the park so he's entitled to one or two bad passes. Without him we would be totally clueless.

trev Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Every team in this league would be after him if he was available. He has his flaws...mainly his shooting. But for this league he is quality. Keep it up Bazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrodie2002 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Played second half of last season with a foot injury and was requiring regular injections just to play according to his Dad.... think it showed as he seems a lot better this season and lot more confident. Very passionate player but does look frustrated with how we have been playing the ball back and across defence so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ten-yard dink into the box for Lee's unfairly disallowed goal against Leeds was sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 When he’s on song he’s a joy to watch - clearly more of an attacking CM than defensive as well. Like has been said above as well, never goes hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no point chasing a keeper down unless there's a remote chance you can put him off, block it etc. Shouldn't do it when they can just pass it round you as there's no one else within 30 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonedavidhirst Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 He's better when pressing forward. His desire to drop into that left sided quarterback position too often annoys me, as he is far more effective going forward, so I wish he'd do that less frequently. When he's driving us forward, the team tends to play on the front foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlofOliveGrove Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If we don't go up this season and he carries on in the form he is now there are going to be some serious big money offers coming in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks at the bench to see if he should press, he adjusts his shorts, looks round to see if anyone else can run instead, points a bit, then he saunters extra slowly to close the defender down - its just plain laziness and hampers the team as a whole in my opinion. Wonderfully technically gifted player, but as lazy as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
