What a load of b0llocks

lol
 

I also loved the bit about ‘has a go at players’

 

It's not boll0x at all. He played out on the left. Lee, Hutch and Wallace were all better than him that year in midfield. 

 

And he's totally the wrong type of person to lead a struggling team.

There weren't 140 players who had more assists then Bannan last season, as that link claims. There were 26.

 

On chances created, only two central midfielders who played regularly created more chances for their teammates than Bannan. If we factor in players in all positions, then there were 4 ahead of him.

 

If chances created is the metric you're judging him against, then he was among the best in the Championship last season. 

He was 141st. Behind Kadeem Harris

They don't. Chances created only measure when you find a team-mate with a pass. That means all those crosses that Harris balloons into the stand aren't included.

 

Bannan has most assists over the past 3 years in the Championship.

 

Harris... doesn't.

5 each last season and Bannan took 95% of our set pieces.

You seem to love a statistic.

 

In 2009, the custard cream was voted the 8th most popular biscuit to dunk in tea in the uk

7 other types of biscuits were dunked more. Pathetic. 

 

You talk a reyt load of bahlsen. 

The custard cream is number 1, same as on here.

They are all wrong, everyone of them. Custard Creams mate who will tell you that Dawson is a better keeper than Westwood agrees with him so stands to reason he knows what he’s talking about. 

Funny how you’re only argument against me is what someone else who I don’t know quotes.

Must try harder.

They (pundits) are even more gushing as regards Jordan Rhodes whenever he comes on the pitch, however Jordan probably suffered from a lack of service in part due to Bannan being more suited to the long ball and a Fletcher type of player.

Bannan confuses and stifles the defence by coming back into them he is then more or less having to play a longer ball type game.

Bannan and Reach were probably the worst defenders we had last season, but both insisted in dropping back and allowing teams to pin us back.

He doesn't understand that he does not need to come to the ball all the time and should find a space between the lines when we have possession.

 

So supporters of Bannan realise he cant defend, is  positionally unsafe (defensively) and not that good in ariel duels.  He can't shoot rarely scores and seldom assists.

 

He has very good close control and can manipulate the ball well and that is enough entertainment for some people. He does not get in and around the opposition box nor score despite being given a free role and may well be suited to the style of another team where he is a cog rather than the wheel.

 

I will still be surprised if he is not at the start of the season.

 

 

Spot on. 
Wasting your time on here though.

It's time for a change.

 

Yes he's good on the ball, but tje modern midfielder needs to be more than just "tidy" in possession.

 

Let's be honest. He doesnt score, cant tackle, not very good at tracking runners, plays too deep, can't head, has a go at his team mates. 

 

I'd rather sell him and replace him with a player who has a couple of the above attributes.

 

People go on about how he had quality around him before, but he was arguably one of the worst players in the playoff final team. Those around him made him look better than he is. 

 

He's now in his 30s and if he plays next year, he'll be targeted by every single team we play. 

 

Time for a change. 

 

 

Once again well put.

141st for what?

 

Assists?

 

He was behind 26 other players in the Championship. Harris was behind 45 other players.

 

Chances created? 

 

Only 7 players created more chances per game than Bannan. 142 created more chances than Harris.

 

Seriously - on what basis are you saying Harris was better than Bannan last season?

Same number of assists and Barry had far more attempts.

Harris better defensively.

Neither much of a goal threat.

Best signing in the last decade 

 

 

 

Or worth what we paid for him?

 

He has fans and detractors.

 

Personally I think he's a great players at our level on his day but we lose a lot at the same time because he demands the ball all the time and other players just leave him to do the greating.  If we had other players taking responsibility as well we would be a better team. I'm just not sure if this problem is down to Bannan or  the other players taking the easy option.
