room0035 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I predict Charlie Wyke that one season Wonder free agent we didn't seem good enough to try and sign will score tomorrow. 3 goals and 1 assist in 8 games. We need a big performance for the full 90 minutes tomorrow not just 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere & nowhere Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I always think that anyone/ any team needs minimum 10 games and that’s being a bit impatient - really a manager needs a few seasons with decent support, but we mustn’t let a few poor results and Bannan trying to make up for a new team understanding each other, create suggestions that our best player has to leave. They just need time to work it out and I reckon that despite the Moore critics, he knows more than anyone posting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's simply no way Peacock-Farrell makes that blunder if Bannan's still on the pitch. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 A few games without Bannan might do the squad a lot of good. For the last few seasons any player winning possession around midfield looks to pass to Bannan regardless of what other pass might be possible. Even the new additions, Adeniran, Byers, Wing etc seem seem to have the same idea. A week or two of our midfielders using their own initiative could well work to our advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Wigan away isn’t really the best match to showcase the squads ability to step up without Bannan. We are probably in for a kicking tonight which to be honest would have been the case with or without Baz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, Bannan often the easy option. Other players need to accept responsibility and make something happen. If he's not playing, they can't simply pass him the ball and stand still waiting for him to do something. Although, the worry is they pass the ball back to the defenders instead and stand still. Opportunity for Dele-Bashiru IMO to come in and show if he has what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 He's the best player at the club by a country mile, we are much weaker if he doesn't play. Him, then Iorfa ,are the only 2 definite starters if fit, if Dennis adds consistency to his game, we may have a third. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewkesbury Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 In defence of the rest of the midfield, I bet playing with Barry takes some getting used to. He's a little dynamo, always wants it, always moving. His reading of the game is amazing. A lot like the play that Harry Kane gets criticised for. Always trying to get the ball, formation be damned. It must be hard for the others, trying to get into a system, when Barry just does what he thinks is best at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that get's on my T*ts about Bannan is how he slows thing's down when a good attacking pass is on. If only he would make the quick pass rather than looking for a Hollywood pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jack the Hat Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The problem with Bannan isn't Bannan, it's us. We rely on him too much. Bannan not playing won't allow players to hide behind him forcing him to play the killer ball. Other players will have to step up without him. I thought Dele looked good when he came on. We should be able to utilise one of the best players in this league without relying on him so much he becomes a liability. It ain't Bannans fault no one else has stepped up in the past 5 years. Nothing has changed since Moor arrived - it's possibly got worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Wednesday fans are crackers sometimes. Every single club in this division would love to have Bannan in their sides, regardless of what faults we might think he has. He would walk into a lot of Championship sides too..... You only have to listen to opposition fans, opposition managers and pundits to know this. Yet our fans are falling over themselves to leave your best player (by a mile) out of the squad for a run of games. Its just another distraction from many of the other issues..... such as why the manager has made the pitch wider, yet plays with such a narrow formation which allows more space for opposition wingers....which funily enough, if we ustilised our own wide players in the space it would probably accomodate Bannans game far more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 It's like when Curran left 1st division Southampton and joined us in Div 3 - a complete waste of talent but we certainly benefited. Like BB, Curran just did what he wanted, but we had players around him who complemented him, and did the hard work. This is what BB has needed for several seasons. If we'd had bought a quality CM partner for him at the start of the 2016/17 season rather than Abdi/Jones and then Butterfield, we'd have gone up and he'd have plied his trade in the PL rather than at Morecombe.

Not advocating for his exclusion from the team, just that his set pieces are generally on the whole poor, and I would like someone else in the team to step up and be given/have a go other than BB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
