Combined:- Bannan 3783 mins - provided 10 goals or assists. The rest 7100 mins - provided 10 goals or assists Bannan comes in for lots of criticism, but we don’t know how lucky we are to have him. Fabulous fitness record, looks after himself, gives 100%, gets more MoMs than any other player, almost never drops below a 7/10, always wants the ball. Our best and most important player by a distance. 21 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Any criticism he gets is because he makes some mistakes But when 90% of the play goes through him that is unavoidable 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SallyCinnamon Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2020 The section of fans who have it in for Bannan are absolutely moronic. A standout player in a very average squad. With better players around him like he had in his first couple of seasons he’d look even better. Shoulders all the responsibility of being our main source of creativity. Always fit and available, never hides and is such a lovely footballer. 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Quadzilla Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2020 He's the only one who has maintained performance level since the playoff seasons. Everyone else either broke down or got too old. He is essential for the team and is by far and away our best player. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZicoSterland2 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 In reality none of those stats are very good including Bannans. That is the major problem we create little for the forwards and score very few from our midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he always wants the ball. In the first couple of seasons he was surrounded by Forestieri, Hooper, Wallace, Hutch, a fully fit Lee who also all wanted to get on the ball and make things happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Concrete Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I was quick reading the title and thought it said Bannans Impotence I thought well that explains why he needs to harden up in midfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Still our best player and most important midfielder! And some wan't to get rid! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 He’s important to us, no doubt about that but going forward is he part of the solution? If we moved him on, I would have mixed feelings but as the stats show, we have become overly reliant on him and if he doesn’t create anything then the chances are the team doesn’t? It’s hardly rocket science for an opposition manager to say to his players, we stop Bannan, we stop Wednesday? If Hunt can blossom then he might take the pressure off him but it’s a big ask for a lad who’s just got into the team? If playing wing-backs is the way forward for us then we need better more natural wing-backs to give us more going forward hence taking the pressure off Bannan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff74 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) He's the best player in the squad by a mile, and has been for some time. That's part of the problem though, as the rest are barely on the same page as him, and when he get's frustrated by this, which t results in him rollocking everyone around him. IMO this adds to the on-field lethargy, rather than improving it. Great player, but not a great motivator. Of course that isn't his job, but he seems to think it is.
