Maybe that might have been a bit too much for Barry Big Time to deal with. Where was the midfield player closing down the shot? ....oh that’s him yards away...shouting at the goalie! (Methinks the boy doth protest too much) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it have a positive effect on the performance and team as a whole? No it didn't. Maybe you should look at yourself if you think that's an acceptable method of improving performance. It clearly doesn't work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think him rollocking the keeper affects the performance of the other 9 outfield players? I think being in the league situation we are might affect them, but that’s it Edited April 13, 2021 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small man gave him a bit of gyp in the heat of the game for letting a goal in. If he’s that bothered he could extract an apology by dangling Bannan upside down by his ankles. Or just get on with it and accept it happens all the time in a game. Which is what they both probably did. He really doesnt come accross that tall on tv...

For what it's worth I'm not sure Westwood would have dealt with the deflection any different. When we were decent, we had plenty of big characters in the dressing room who weren’t afraid to tell a team mate what they thought of them if they weren’t “at it” as Carlton Palmer once said. Nothing wrong with that, Joe Wildsmith is playing in goal for a Championship club and needs to be performing to a standard, a standard he currently isn’t achieving. Barry Bannan is bang on and if we had a few more players who were as vocal and passionate as Bannan is, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have fans demanding passion from the players and once it comes it’s bad. Passion comes in many forms. I’d rather he did that then have a bunch of silent robots like we usually do. Bannan is the ONLY one who ever pipes up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never fully trust a stat. Well yes, we know the defence is also not up to scratch. Wildsmith's save percentage however is significantly worse than both Westwood and Dawson this season.

0742 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I think this is all the evidence needed to show why Bannan is not captain material. I struggle to think of a worse captain that we've had. Giving him such a responsibility when he carries on like this is comical mis-management from above. Hopefully we can get a few hundred grand for him in the summer, because the thought of him leading the team thrown together in League one spells misery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimesthorpian Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Just a point, has anyone got a vid of Bannan chewing Lees off after the mistake for that first goal against Swansea...... Didn’t think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
