I often wonder, when Bannan goes deep, this is because of his being told to do so, or if it is his natural instinct to be always involved in play and needing to be the centre of the game? i can't answer that either, but him being deep looking for the hollywood ball is a no,.no. at his size he doesn't have the power to land it. it's the same when he goes for a crossfield ball, it takes so long to get there the recipient is under pressure. he has great foresight, and a killer ball in him, he needs using as that for me. the weighted ball he put through for nuhiu's goal two seasons ago at bellend ruwad was a fantastic piece of football.

As far as I’m concerned June 21st things go back to normal. And yes this is an opportunity to properly clear the decks. I’d keep 5 maybe 6 and start again. Players will get paid probably he has no excuse when we return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRGRIM Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Needs to run forward with the ball more, saw a few towards the end of last season and defenders couldn't tackle him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO! would i go in a boozer? depends if any sense is on show inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had same, but im of the opinion that this isnt all its made out to be and would attend football and a boozer packed to the rafters with our fans singing away. But i understand your opinion its each to there own. The constant chirping and changing from people in charge makes you not know what is real an whats not. I just think at some point we have got to give it a go otherwise we'll be living under restrictions forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk commented on Sky that Bannan had said he wasn't comfortable further up the pitch, so it was his choice to drop back and try and play the quarterback role.

Sounds very similar to when Monk said that both he and Reach agreed that his best position was playing as a centre forward. Which Reach later refuted.

In this case, we have proof that Bannan drops deep, doesn't get forward enough and has a big say in what goes on with the team. So there's likely to be at least some truth in it. I doubt anything of those things applied to Reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anything of those things applied to Reach. That's not true, and secondly I don't take seriously what Monk has said about certain players, he did a similar thing with Reach. Probably best to hear it come from Bannan himself then. Only way we will really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got the most expensive playmaker in the division..how should DM use him? The answer is in your question - as a playmaker - its what he does. I will say now that he has the potential to be the most creative player in that league. The problem is that his creativity is nullified by the extremely limited footballers he is playing with. He is one of those rarities that the lower he goes the worse he will be because of the standard of players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted the question before the claim that he's uncomfortable going forward. If that's true we should take any offers for him. Saying that..a playmaker needs eager runners and movement in front of them... which he certainly hasn't had lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
