It’s literally people’s jobs that are at stake and next career steps on the line, and that goal all but confirmed where it’s heading. I’m not surprised he had a pop! This is a SWFC message board, you must be a fan of another team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I said something similar at first. Even with the deflection he should have done a lot better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo89 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 If he actually said what it sounds like then it's not what you'd expect from your captain, however it's what we were all thinking, might be an insight into the possibility that Bannan actually cares what happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a way to do it though - and that wasn’t it in my view. Should give captaincy to someone else, leave Bannan free to do what he’s good at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Anyone who’s played in goal at even an average level will tell you that’s awful goalkeeping even with the minimal deflection. Body position all wrong, slow in adjusting and completely weak. It should still be a simple catch yet alone save. Our two backup keepers are capable of excellent saves at times (as are all league keepers), but my word they never get the basics right. Honestly at their age the mistakes are pathetic. Positioning, technique, basics and footwork have been severely lacking for years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why a miniature Scottish midfielder who was sublime against Cardiff was standing in a CB position marking no one at all instead of stopping the guy with the ball who had all the time in the world to line it up. Same for Hutch who took an age to come out and make an attempt to close down. They were all ******** twats yesterday, including bannan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone saying that Wildsmith was unlucky because it took a deflection needs to have another look. Goalkeepers work every day on there reactions, he had more than enough time to deal with it. Very poor goalkeeping. He was flying across his goal in the opposite direction to the ball once it deflected and his momentum was taking him the wrong way. You're basically saying he over committed to the initial shot which he'd have comfortably saved if it hadn't been deflected. He got something on it. Maybe he could have done more. But frankly the poo defending in front of him from the midfielders back deserves more criticism. ********, the lot of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you need to watch it again if you think he was ‘flying’ across his goal. He literally took one step. Most keepers in most leagues would save it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to change direction when you are sliding. Defending for the first was poo. Defending for the second was poo. They were just poo like they have been all season. I be glad to see the back of all of them in a few weeks. Hopefully DM brings in a team with a bit of fight and mental resilience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Thank god we didnt have Roy Keane in our squad, he'd have made them cry if you believe any of the shite thats being posted I'd be worried if they weren't having a pop at eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I’m assuming you’re trolling or missing my point on purpose. I mean Dawson and Wildsmith. I’ve always been a big fan of Westwoods ability. I wanted both him and Kirkland to sign on free transfers long before we were even linked with them. The quality has always been there. It may be fading now. With our other two. The quality has never been there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume you wouldn't have him here? I'm presuming Liverpool wouldn't want to swap Aliison for Dawson or Wildsmith because despite his poor form recently, on the back of personal issues, he has proved himself at the top level. Your comparison is unsurprising given your unerring support for 2 goalkeepers that are not good enough but it is frankly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Funny and true, but precisely why he’s not captain material. He’s got the short man syndrome and seems to enjoy having a pop at others on the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
