Bannan got pulled off, was cheesed off and walked off the pitch obviously in a mood So the manager probably just said "I Know you're disappointed. It wasn't anything to do with your performance so I'm sorry we had to take you off but it was tactical" Totally run of the mill normal management and normal run of the mill process Nothing to see here at all 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I suspect the apology was more about sympathising with Bazza that he's going to have DM's hairdo in about 18 months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Never complain, never explain... ...unless you sub Bannan in which you need to go public with your thought process. Games gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooogs Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Pisstakes aside, it was either taking an AM off or switching to a 4-1-3-1 (or a 3-2-3-1) and risking an absolute shoeing. The mistake was failing to drill into the defence to stay deep and make sure they stayed on the pitch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Moore called a press conference specifically to tell everyone he'd got down on his knees and apologised to Barry Bannan Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan is the only player I've seen where the ball bounced over his head...except it was after the ball had bounced for a second time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 At least we can look forward to a Tweet justifying every sub that is made. Two games in and Moore's already being cuckolded. Said it on Monday morning, feel sorry for the bloke. Will only end one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I’d like to know Darren’s reasons for playing Bannan as a number 10 in a 4-2-3-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These players have shafted plenty of managers previously and have downed tools when their "mates" like Bullen and Thommo have taken the reigns.

You can have whatever opinion you want But come on - we've got a new manager in place and you're already throwing around stuff like that in his first week? Just think it's a bit OTT and sad Like I say though - if you want to do that go ahead - I won't applaud anyone doing something like that though Darren Moore deserves and needs backing not slating in his first week 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think it's a bit OTT and sad Like I say though - if you want to do that go ahead - I won't applaud anyone doing something like that though Then our idea of hierachial structures in football must differ because the sanctity and integrity of management have been further eroded with the disclosure that a manager apologised for making a substitution. That brings up two points: 1. Moore doubted the substitution and/or was conflicted because of who it was that he was bringing off. 2. Said player deserves special treatment not extended to other members of the squad - captain or otherwise. Graham Taylor was roundly lambasted for substituting Lineker in Euro 92 but never felt compelled or obliged to publicly justify his actions. It brings the conclusion that the substitution was NOT the wrong thing to do but publicly apologising to the player raises doubts on superiority and trust in a man who has been in the job less than a week. I'm struggling to see who is actually at the wheel here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I'll not pretend I'm happy with the appointment of Moore (although, this is DC, after all), but I don't really see a problem with him saying that he was apologetic to Bannan for bringing him off. It's obvious to me why he was apologizing anyway; not for subbing him off, as such, but for subbing him off due to some other team-mate's error. That's the clear and obvious context here. Why make more of it than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLERTON GHOST Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 "why did you take Bannan off Darren" "Well we went a man down" .. However prior to this our captain and gamemaker spent most of the time up to the sending off trying to hitch up his captain's armband which kept slipping down his arm (it's actually made to fit a bigger player) And the rest of the time chasing around like a headless chicken... So if you want to call it a tactical substitution well yeah .... The guy was "dying" in front of our eyes I felt embarrassed for him" ..... "There's a massive job here to do etc etc" "We need bigger forward leaning players".. "We are going in the wrong direction"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
