TheEnchanter Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Might have been told to keep his shape and structure more than usual. Same for the pig players. Seemed edgy from both sides not wanting to drop a clanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad he took the freekick which led to our goal this afternoon. Who else do we have in our team who has the same set piece quality as Bannan?

HarryPlopper Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Not going to bash Bannan here, but if someone else can come in who is better at set pieces i'd let them have the job. We haven't (usually) been too effective from them for quite some time. Bannan is playing quite well right now generally, not sure why he's getting ripped apart at the moment. I think he is liking playing under Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Assist or key role in 5 of our last 6 goals. But not good enough on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningaround Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Whilst he can be culpable of slowing down play in transition, he certainly is the best technical player we have by a mile. For me he would be ideal as a deep lying playmaker. Therefore I think he will be at his best next season as I think Bruce will have more pace out wide and up top next season. As for hiding? Laughable. The bloke drops deep regular to start attacks. Edited March 10, 2019 by runningaround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Bruce seems to have decided that because he played there for half a game at Millwall and like most of the team didn't get on the ball then he'll never play there again. With the current personnel and formation though, he really does have to play in the middle but he still drops too deep too often for my liking.

That season Bannan was often used wide left and we were hopeless. Half-time or later, Carlos would switch B.B. central and push FF wide and bang!

McRightSide Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Watch the highlights, pretty much involved in everything good we did. I think the people who say he hides need to look in the mirror. Bannan never hides, he always gets on the ball, he always tried to play a key pass and he always gets around the pitch...minimum. It might not always come off, but that ain’t hiding. Giles Coke used to hide. Edited March 12, 2019 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one have never suggested he hides, but he needs to play the ball quicker and not keeping going back to defence (unless absolutely necessary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful on Saturday Yep...one good set play against Derby (there was the goal he scored against Stoke too) suddenly means he's on a par with Beckham. Bannan offers plenty of good things to this side, but his set plays are, on the whole, not good enough imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
