Better than a half fit Hutch, Brown, Bashiru et al. ...but not better than Luongo & Shaw, so hopefully would be at best on the bench. We are again crippled by injuries. Thanks Carlos.

Kraschenbern Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The problem isn't Joey in midfield. Its the supposedly "better" players around him who consistently fail to deliver. Joey's job is to break up the oppositions play. He's better at that than Reach and Bannan are at affecting the game in the opponents third. That will be an unpopular opinion, but I've been saying it for two seasons. Bannan is the major issue in our midfield. Too deep, and no where near as effective for the amount of touches of the ball that he has. A true rebuild won't start until he is gone. He has it easy at Wednesday. With the constant love in for him. He'd struggle to get in most other Championship sides. I'm not saying Joey is great. But let's stop blaming him, when our supposedly better players do absolutely fizz all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t break stuff up though And he’s supposed to start attacks, but he can’t, because it takes him 3 touches to control the ball. The dude barely gets close enough to make a foul most times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan, who's stood five yards behind him. We massively miss someone like K.Lee. Someone who moved beyond the opponents midfield rather than hiding between the centre half's like Bannan does.

But let's stop blaming him, when our supposedly better players do absolutely fizz all. If Bannan would not get in any Championship side why was a promotion chasing side after him? I agree Bannan is not very effective in our side at the moment, that's because of the way we set up and the players around him, not because he is worse than Pelupessy. We were pretty poor last couple of seasons but Bannan was top 10 in the division for assists, due to the fact we had an effective target man for him to pick out. Without a striker and a decent shape to the team Bannan will be largely ineffective too often, that's down to the poor recruitment. Take him out now and we won't do any better, he has created many of the few goals we have scored, we wont create more if we leave him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the Lee comment But Joey does so much damage to our better players - they can’t pass to him, they can’t trust him to guard a back 4, he breaks down anything with forwards momentum It must be hella frustrating playing with him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley8 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 He and Reach not in good form should only be playing if others not available right now. Reach can be better sometimes but Pelupessy never shown he's good enough at this level..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that he's a cheap option considering his contract is nearly up. You'd be top ten in the division for assists if every single time we got the ball it went through you. And if you took the vast majority of set pieces. The statistic should be what percentage of the time does he affect the game for the number of touches he has. Massively overrated. Not saying he's bad. But the way people go on about him, you'd think he was Iniesta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Words fail me! To play like that is bad enough, although we’ve played even worse on several occasions this season. Why do people feel the need to start a thread criticising an individual when the whole team were abysmal? I really don’t get it, you could go through every player tonight and pull them apart, why the need to have yet another go at Pelupessy? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
