I was just pointing out an anecdote that he was indeed instantly recognizable out there. That said, and to further extend the analogy a little bit (as far as WAR goes), I would say don't slag it off too much, because it's about a 50/50 chance that she would be able to correctly identify his position and that he does not play as an attacking midfield player, and he spends most of the time picking up the ball 15 yards from the centrebacks. He is always playing way deeper than he needs to be. I'd love to see Bannan playing further forward as an attacking player, and with the mandate to stay there, but that's not going to happen until there is more help in midfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 No my view is not a binary choice. Much will depend on the depth of challenge is offered to BB up to mid October next season. Who knows he may have gone by then and you will have gotten your answer. Or Darren Moore may have found or developed a blend that works well for all. BB has signed a contract and that is credit to him and a generous SWFC Insurance policy in view of ship jumpers who are still in nappies and still nibbling on Farley's Rusks. In summary not voted for either option but I will have a more defined idea by the time the Guy goes on the fire ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Lawrie’s Left Peg said: Always makes me smile when people suggest that 10 of our players are rubbish because they are wasters, stealing a living, bottle merchants who don’t care but our superstar creative genius is rubbish because the other 10 aren’t on his level. If Bannan was as good as some suggest he’d stand out amongst the mediocrity And how does any of that relate to what I said? I don't think it's particularly controversial to say that Bannan is a gifted footballer (not a "superstar creative genius") and that tactically we're too reliant on him - I said nothing about whether our other players are any good or indeed care.

He’s our best player at recirculating the ball but defensively he’s a total liability After watching some of the Six Nations it occurred to me that Bannan is actually a number 10. Just it’s a rugby position not football. The number 10/outside half has so many traits that we Barry has: - Source of most of teams creativity - Takes all the set pieces - Passes flat/sideways - Kicks ball into touch - Smaller than most of teammates/opposition - Often targeted as defensive week link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Here we go another Bannan bashing post! Good players will always looks worse when you have poor players who don't care less around them. He'd get into nearly all championship sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Needs someone along side him to do the donkey work. We've had no one that could do properly it since Lee was crocked. We need someone to step up and be Palmer to Bannan's Sheridan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tudders Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 My personal opinion is that if you understand football, Bannan’s quality and importance is undeniable. Those same fans who don’t appreciate Bannan, wanted shut of Atdhe too. Unbelievable. I’d have them both in a top 6 championship side- never mind the fact we are literally on the brink of League One.

Yellowbelly Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Would help if the teams default wasn’t “pass it to Barry” every time and they took more responsibility to string together attacking moves. We’re so one dimensional sometimes it’s quite ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunny1968 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Typical of us Wednesday fans. Build the guy up to be the darling of the fans and then when things go wrong we blame him and start rubbishing him. What a lovely group of people we are at times!!!

FreshOwl Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I’ll be honest, I’m starting to become less of a fan the longer he’s here And I really rate him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedwig Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think we are too one dimensional when he plays. We were much better when he had another "crative" player alongside him, so either could set attacks in motion. Here's a thought - what if Bannan signed the contract to protect the club from him leaving for free. Has he done similar to what Eze / Bellingham did with their respective former clubs ? Time will tell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell.. But if a difference. Eze and Bellingham were young lads who will still improve and were worth multi millions, Eze in particular had just had a fantastic season. Bannan is in his 30s, in a high wage and from a transfer value point of view pretty much worthless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomshaketheroom Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So he's either the best player or the worst? That's the problem with football fans, no balanced opinions. I'll pick option 3. Good player for league 1 and good squad player for championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
