Barry Bannan being subbed off

At 1-0 it’s Game over may as well rest him for next week. 

[SiJ]

I think Moore wants him to play higher up the pitch, but Barry seems to insist on dropping as deep as possible in order to ping it around the place. 

 

Assume him coming off today was purely down to being down to 10 men...though I suppose when you've got Bannan in the team it's more like having 9 and a half men really.

I can’t see bannan arguing, look at size of DM next to him  

[WalthamOwl]

They where apologetic? That doesn’t sound right 

[Belfast Owl 2]

With the amount of people who think he is the problem.

 

No one stepped up to the mark after he was subbed.

Hope Bannan isn’t one of the bad eggs that will turn the changing room against Moore.

I thought it was a photo of a dad picking his lad up from football practice

"did you enjoy that son? Come on.. I'll take you to McDonalds for a McFlurry"

[Lord Snooty]

Meh.

 

Game was lost anyway at 1-0 with ten men.

 

This is a team that hasn't got it in them to beat 10 men, never mind overcome similar issues themselves.

Who stepped up when he was on it?

Yep, he started just behind paterson, but gradually dropped further and further back. So basically not doing what he'd been asked to do. Once the red came it was pointless persisting with that strategy.

Unfortunately that means the end for one of them. If players aren’t willing to do what the manager says they should be shipped out. Ours however get new contracts and do what they want, luckily for them it’s only the managers that get sacked due to poor results.

We were truly dreadful after the sending off and subsequent ridiculous substitution

He's a short Scotsman. They're not bothered, they'll argue with anybody. 

[Kew Owl]

With 10 men and 1-0 down, the game’s lost

Bannan’s  played a lot recently - sensible to rest him, as there’s plenty more games still to come 

[Emilianenko]

Was the right decision.

[davey_wells]

Moore will learn that Bannan is the only one with any ability in the squad, and how the rest of the players, because they are all so lacking in ability, completely rely on him.

Blimey. 
M’lud has given up so even the Spirit of the Blitz has melted away.

This team has finally done in the last shreds of hope for even die hard fans.

The players just aren’t very good and sadly - given their propensity to give away penalties and get themselves sent off - they aren’t very bright.

Save him for Norwich
