Taximark Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 That role just doesnt suit him...if he was in a wilder team he would be devastating...it has to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomm Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The reason he gave it away a few times was down to the fact he was always showing for the ball but when he got it had no options ahead of him. That's down to the way the team is set up by Jos. Like that time in the second half he is often leading the press. I sometimes wonder if that's against Jos' instructions). Hes one of the best centre mids in the division stiffled by the inept tactics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always looking for the Hollywood pass and it didn't come off once. If you think running in a big arch at the keeper actually does anything other than use energy then more fool you and him. Fans clap this pointless run ffs. Ps I love Bannan but he's a million miles off his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy85 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 He worked hard and made some good tackles. But his passing was sub par by his own standards and I’m sure he’d admit that himself. We needed his passing to be on point to make use of any breaks and to relieve pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Tibbs Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 5 minutes ago, Quist said: Bannan was very poor easily the poorest player on Wednesday side. he never touched ball in first 30 minutes and he made at least 5 bad passes. He did make two good passes and regained ball in a couple of tackles but also lost ball on a couple of occasions in dangerous areas. He does not have pace or physicality when it is an high tempo game. Many teams are now allowing him to have ball as they realise the majority of his passing brings little reward. This was most evident in QPR game where they allowed him to have ball (in excess of 100 touches) and it all amounted to nothing. A fancy dan turn a couple of excellent goals and a lot of huffing and puffing does not make a good team player That last comment is harsh. Irrespective of contribution with the ball, look at how he grabs hold of Dawson when he's saved pens. With the ball he's our most creative player by a mile. Most of us would be gutted if he were to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marconi Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 penny was worse, selected the wrong studs, failed to beat his man once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTavowl Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 He wasn't his best, 5-10 yard passes did go amiss several times. We rely on him too much to start any sort of transition, most opposing team's have nullified him this season. We need to start varying the play, it's all too predictable.

Guest wilyfox Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Didn't have a good game - but few did, so I wouldn't single him out. Last night was about the clean sheet and ending our run of defeats. Let's hope it's a starting point on which to build. But, clearly all is not well.

Bouncing Owl Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 4/10 last night and he had a shocker. However, he remains a great player in a very poor side under a negative manager. Bannan would excel in a 4-3-3 in a team with much better players and movement ahead of him. I feel sorry for him at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrig Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 @Lee Strafford misspelled night, there is only one i in the word that I'm aware of. Proving it is possible to make mistakes and presumably you made yours under far less pressure than Bannan did last night. Let's not hound everyone for the sake of it please. He wasn't at his best last night but as others have said, he played slightly out of position and is trying to carry a struggling side at times almost on his own.

I accept he his whole hearted and definitely shows passion and encouragement but success is counted in assists made telling forwarded passes successful tackles and goals. When you look at his record it unfortunately means he is very easy to play against. I would be surprised if anybody bought him. The recent Aston Villa speculation was ballswash they are trying to reduce wage bill not increase it and will be trying to offload players.

PortlandOwl Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 He ran around like a headless chicken, giving the ball away when we were looking for an outlet. Not one of his better performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Bannan struggled last night - he tends to against teams who hussle him in midfield. He flurishes with time to pick passess etc - he couldn't do that last night and gave the ball away a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uncharacteristically plays 3 bad passes and we are on his feckin case. I really am scratching my head. It's just called discussion. It's what people do and what most people on here come for. My lass once gave me a bad blow job, proper grating teeth and gum roll jobbie, i discussed it with the lads, but i still let her suck me off.

But he's allowed, only human and more often than not this season he's been very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Having an off game or being marked out of the match is one thing. Giving the ball away in our own half 20 yards to the opposition who had bags of space in the middle as it was is reckless. The fact is, despite our issues, the senior/quality players aren't stepping up in this time of turmoil. Beyond Fletch and Hector I struggle to see who are the youth players and who the talent are.
