No, £3.

 

I always split £5 between 2 - 0 and 3 - 1 for away games. How much on each score depends on odds.

 

Laptop almost came to grief when Nuhiu blasted the ball home in stoppage time.lol

Yes. it was an excellent pass from Bannan, but he was only one of FOUR men in the move, all of whom deserve credit. Analise the move closely. 

Nuhiu got himself into the ideal position to take the pass and score a superb goall

Reach received an excellent through ball from Bannan, and could not have been criticised for actually having a go himself instead of pulling it back for Atde

Bannan ran to a beautiful ball, and put in a superb ball for Reach  to have a go at goal or...

A central defender played a superb ball exactly where Bannan wanted it I missed the CD who started the move, and he doesn't seem to get a mention, despite being the starter of the move

So, without down playing BB's role, it was a four man move..

Think it was Borner and Bannan called to him and pointed to where he wanted the ball.  Bannan was without doubt the mastermind behind the move but they all played their part brilliantly.

A thing of beauty

 

Bannan had the vision asking for the ball, a lovely through ball to Reach who picked out Nuhiu and he hit it crisply first time leaving the goalkeeper and defender floundering.

 

 

Oh and two crazy commentators.

both passes that opened up their defence were superbly directed and weighted, but monk just 'humps' it all day.

I love those litthe passes inside the FB. The winger is going at speed, the FB has to stop and turn. It basically leaves the FB out of the game. Unless the CD can move across and cut it out it is always going to be dangerous.

 

Well played to all of them.

Brilliant vision from BB; the same BB who quite a few Owlstalkers thought didn't contribute enough and should be left out of the team. He should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

Baz played a similar ball in the first half to Reach who put in a beautiful cross that Murphy made a mess off 

Bannan does things that nobody else in the team can do 

not many better midfielders in the championship IMO 

He played a very similar defence splitting ball v Hull for Murphy just after Murphy had come on but he screwed up his attempted cross instead of shooting 

 

Best player at the club

Agree seems silly to me just because the last player to pass to the goalscorer gets the credit (and to be fair to Reach it was a cracking cross and deserves credit) but so often its just a token pass.

 

But it was Bannan who had seen the goal unfurl in his mind seconds before he made it reality but the stats wont acknowledge that vision.  He saw the space behind the defender was aware of Reaches availability and that Nuhiu was still in the area.

 

Fantastic stuff.

 

You see him point and make the run for Borner to give him the ball, then as he's receiving the ball he's already looking for the through ball for Reach. 

Quality player.
