fpowl Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Some crazy talk on here again never in a billion years will DC sell bannan plus we’re putting a squad together not a starting 11 byres will be competition for wing that’s the advanced role in the midfield three Bannan is our defensive playmaker who sits back with another one and is paired with one of FDB adreinen luongo if somebody makes way it will be hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know anything about them sorry. Windass will be striker surely when he gets back? Hagan looks promising but is he ready for first team footy?

fudge27 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Waldock, Hunt, Dawodu, Hagan and Brennan all benefit from a spell in conference or conference north type level. Then Paterson, Dawson, Wildsmith and Bannan if it makes financial sense. Leaves us a squad of around 24 which is about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a CB in league one, he's more than capable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If we do bring 2 forwards in then I think it will be Patterson who will be shifted out Get the impression he doesn’t want to play league 1 football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWEDFM Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 With the way some are carrying on you'd think we've brought in 15 new players. We've only signed 6. It makes sense to bring in Byers as we need squad depth. Let's not forget we've added the Johnstone paint your face trophy or whatever it's called to an already hectic fixture list. Byers coming in does not mean Bannan is off. We've lost far more than what we've signed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was out for half a season at QPR before he signed. I recall talk from R's fans that if we could keep him fit he'd be an asset. I could just have a weird memory and be wrong though!

Not sure if that strengthens or weakens us. It will all depend on the calibre of strikers we sign. Bannan is part of the 2, one breaking up play and Bannan being creative. It's failed to work before. Ideally Bannan needs to be in a 3, 2 to do the donkey work and defending while Bannan controls play when we are in possession. In effect you have to build the team around Bannan. The problem we've had then is that if BB has an off day the other 2 don't step up, same if he's marked out of the game. I'm not sure if that's BB's fault ot the other 2 midfielders. CC stuck Bannan on the wing with a license to roam, that worked but BB doesn't want to do that these days. It's a problem how to accomodate BB, he brings so much, but at a price. I'd be happy to see him move on, not because I don't like and admire him but because I don't think we can afford his wages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I honestly consider that 'Bannan is our defensive playmaker' has been a major part of our troubles. Bannan is a 100% player, whether in defence or attack, and always gives of his best. I believe that Bannan is far more efective playing in a more attacking role. And don't forget, a team does not simply consist these days of ELEVEN men. Subs must be taken into consideration, and more importantly, to cover for injuries. This latter is a very important part of our strategy, given the number we sustain, another point that needs serious consderation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't defend, he's too lightweight, at best he harries players with the ball. It's not lack of effort. It's strange because sime small players are great in defence, Nobby Stiles, Alan Ball spring to mind. I agree Bannan playing further forward and dictating play would be better but he won't/doesn't want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Say Hutch is now a centre back, Luongo is always injured, who we got in the middle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just read an article online about Swansea - doesn’t look like it’d be a great career move for Bannan. They’re still managerless and many of their best players from last year have gone. The local pundit is predicting a possible relegation battle. I doubt he’d get paid any more either. Cant see him uprooting to South Wales any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Can't say I know too much about him, but people seem to rate him. Another option in midfield and apparently one to either lighten the creative load from Bannan or the one to replace him. Wing should add some creative spark too and can take a decent freekick and corner which will be nice for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see those two along with Adeniran, Wing & Byers hanging around to sit on the bench. Which is what will happen should Byers sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
