We also have a similar predicament with Iorfa I agree reach had a good game today but last 2 games he wasnt up to the pace out on the wing , Murphy did a good job . Forgot about Iorfa, how good is it still have other players like himto come back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Nice problem to have. Banann comes back in as will Westwood, Dawson is a capable understudy (he will get games, no doubt about it and he knows it.) As for what do you do, I think if you want it a bit more solid, you drop a winger and Reach plays. Lee and hutch will need breathers so expect luogno will probably rotate in when these two are out. However all three might have alot on keeping him out. Edited August 10, 2019 by Maddogbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Picking a side when all this squad is fit is a real challenge. As it stands, Bannan comes in for Keiron Lee. Lee won’t play 2 games in 4 days, and can come back for the Luton game in place of Hutch. I think Hutch and Lee might share a starting spot this season.

Bleeder Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I think that Bannan's distribution to the two lads we had playing out wide for us today would make us incredibly difficult to play against and his relationship with SH and KL would make us such a good side this season. Reach to drop out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Bannan often looks for Fletcher first - swinging it over their back 4. If Bannan comes back in, I’d just want him to supply the wingers - don’t overdo it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have genuine competition for places, players shouldn't be allowed to take a place in the starting XI for granted. It leads to complacency, and sends the wrong message to the other players. Wouldn't change anything going into next weeks game (other than Dawson) Well if they stop being out most important players then I’d agree. But at the moment they are and the competition seems nowhere near at their level. Until that changes, they need to start. i never agree with sticking by a winning team. You should pick your best team for every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacock1961 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Not to everybody's taste this but we always play better without Bannan, no matter who the manager is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Bannan for Reach and Westwood obviously back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tight Arse Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Bannan walks straight back in.. Bannan wasn’t dropped he had a strain so he doesn’t need to prove himself or fight to get back in the starting 11. Reach drops to the bench and comes on for either of the 2 new wingers maybe.

vulva Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 When people start talking about dropping Reach you realize just how good this squad could be. Biggest difference today that I've bit seen mentioned was fitness. We look a real unit and went for the full 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Isn’t it great to have this problem? The likes of Forestieri, Rhodes, Luongo, Bannan, Bates, Iorfa, Westwood not in the starting eleven today yet we still played very well. Personally I would bring Westwood and Bannan in for Dawson and Reach. Bannan brings more to the team for 90 minutes than Reach does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 40 minutes ago, 33 said: Nice one to have but our best player of last season not sure of a start next game after that performance? Difficult one for Bullen. Personally I'd stay with today's midfield and Bazza gets a spot on the bench. For me it builds team ethos and also everybody knows their place not guaranteed. Lose your place and you have to fight to get it back. All good for team and winning culture. Always been a fan of win and keep your place. Particularly outfield. That said even Dawson made a strong shout today too. Bodes well for the season I actually thought we missed Bannan in the middle today, Reach just seems too haphazard in possession in the middle, not having a pop at Reach at all as it's harsh to judge him in a position that's not his. He is a victim of his own engine and versatility sometimes. Bullen said he was planning to go with the same team as Reading before the injury to Bannan and that worked for us today, he also said we won't be playing 2 out and out wingers all season. For Millwall I think Bannan will come back in and Reach will go onto a wing replacing either Murphy or Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will need Bannan ,Millwall away is far tougher than Barnsley at home,will need somebody to put a foot on the ball and have a look,and that man isn't Reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really saying Reach has done anything wrong, but round pegs for round holes. My thoughts exactly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
