Holmowl Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 This season without Bannan:- Pl 18. W2. D5. L11. GF15. GA31. Pts 11. Equates to a reacord-breaking 28 point season. Rock bottom. This season with Bannan:- Pl. 28. W12. D10. L6. GF44. GA29. Pts. 46. Equates to a 75/76 point season, pipping Derby for 6th. (Takes into account him coming on at nil-nil away to Leeds, and going off at nil-nil home to Fulham). A hugely important player for our success next season. He gets 3 months R&R now, to get over any old and new niggles. He is clearly going to play his best position under Jos. I never think one player is the difference, and as Ive often said, the “build your team around x,y or z” is nonesense, but Bannan, like Lees, like Forestieri, like Reach, is a hugely pivotal part of what could be a very strong promotion push next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and add in Nuhiu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormOwl Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 He doesn't always have the best of games but he always makes us tick. Keep him fit and he wont be far off next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 2 is r nilsson Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Would be interesting to see how Bazza with Joey compares to without. I’m not sure about Joey but he does seem to do a lot of the dirty work that allows Bazza to play his own game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me, Bannan should not have that responsibility on his shoulders it may affect his game. Tom Lees will be new club captain. Bannan really was excellent yesterday, although when he is playing with Pelupessy we are so light weight. Edited May 7, 2018 by Owls2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Best player at the club, although that Forestieri did ok since coming back ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I think you could do similar analysis for other players and come up with similar results. Cba to do the work, I'll leave that for Holmowl, but Nuhui would probably have us in autos, Lees/Fred, similar to Bannan?, Westwood, bottom half so get rid.

RUMBELOWS91 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) The quartert of Bannan, Forestieri, Nuhiu and Joao are extremely inventive and effective in possession. They clearly enjoy playing together and are on the same wavelength. Looking forward Hooper can come in for any of the front three and join in the fun with minimal tweaking to the formation. Matias offers something a little different. Fletcher and Rhodes can only play if Adthe doesn't in the current set up. Delivery and defensive solidity in the WB position is going to be key. Both Reach and Hunt offer one but not the other IMO, although I'd say Hunt is almost there defensively. Reach is just not a defender, and if we do go with him at WB The centre halves are going to have to have storming seasons of we're to achieve anything- either that or we're going to have to score 80+ goals.

Earlsfieldowl Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Add in we have a manager who actually seems to know how to use him properly. Bannan benefitting, and he likely won’t the only one either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for who should be appointed captain? It really shouldn't matter. There should be enough understanding between the players that the captain's role is purely one to win the coin throw. UTO. The Captains role extends beyond just match days. The Captain helps instill the discipline within the club. Loovens controlled the players fine pool for indiscipline and did a very good job at it by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Lees will be new club captain. Bannan really was excellent yesterday, although when he is playing with Pelupessy we are so light weight. We have played 9 games with Joey and Bannan, winning 7 and drawing 2. We were also drawing with Fulham when Bannan went off. Many fans said/say that Bannan-Lee is too lightweight, ignoring the facts, that Our results with those two have been better than any other pairing. Given my love of a stat (you don’t say?!) I watched Moneyball again last night. Interesting to hear the old-school scouts using phrases like “he doesn’t look the part”, but ignoring what really counts, results. Personally, I am far from convinced by Joey. IMO Lee is twice the player and even Jones is better. However, Jos has played him 17 times out of 18 since he signed, during which time he has played every single minute. Jos clearly sees a lot in Joey and certainly I am never one to argue against results, and our record with Bannan and Joey in the side is remarkable.

Question I was asked yesterday... Did Clough really say “I’m not going to say Im the best manager in the World, but Im in the top one.” Or is it a myth/Yarwood?

Lawrie Madden Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I think having Pelupessy helps Bannan it allows him to play higher up the field Bannan is still our best player and some of the passes yesterday showed exactly why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
