Mike Hunt Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Play Baz in his best position he his head and shoulders above Wing and co Play him up front like Moore tried to do and he was poor Moore needs to get the balance right and we are getting there now he has got left footers on the left and stopped trying to play out from the back last night Apart from a left footed centre back we have the players for a top six finish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Bannan will come back into the side on Saturday, Hutchinson could hardly move when he came off last night Shodipo in for Johnson and Brown back to left back. Emphasis on us to be a bit more attack minded at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is he about then? He could barely string a pass together last night. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be a player suited to the number 10 role or just to sit in behind the front two in space. Last night showed he doesn't really want to be involved with the "horrible" side of the game and he isn't going to put his foot in on a regular basis and last was very much a battle for the large parts. I think the whole squad would benefit from a settled selection and run of games. Last night regardless of individual performances will do everyone within that squad the world of good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I though Wing was ok in the sense that he broke up play, tackled blocked etc but his forward passing was often poor and he seemed to panic a bit and just smash the ball away when there was a pass on. That said he didn’t put us in immediate danger with what he was doing so it didn’t cost us. If Bannan is fit I’d expect to see him start. As has been said the whole team ran around a lot more last night so there were far more passes on than on previous occasions. Hutchinson can’t stay in midfield. He has all of the heart but will end up crocked if we stick with him there. He’s too valuable to us to wreck him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nethertonowl Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Its all about results, our two best this season have been away at Rotherham and last night. 2 wins away from home against sides in the top six, both games won as a result of a more physical midfield ( Lulongo second half at Rotherham ), playing a higher tempo more direct style. Its not about quality of passing or possession its about exposing other teams lack of quality. Our squad on paper is one of the best in the division, we just need to play in a league one style, and allow that extra quality in all areas to overcome other sides. If we match teams for work rate and physicality we will be very close to an automatic spot, All about opinions but for me, Bannan has to be a luxury we introduce when the games won, ,or if we are on top and cant find that extra class to open up a team that sits in at Hillsborough. I hope, Moore will fore go the nice slow cultured build up and possession and get at teams more. Wigan were in the automatic spots but didnt look all that to me, however they worked hard, had pace wide and knew the system. We had more quality than them . Its that old saying you have to earn the right to play ! hutchinson, Lulongo can do that problem is they are made of biscuit, but its still better than wee Barry showboating, he cant win a tackle on his feet, always has to go to ground, Keep Wing in for me, unless Dele can step up? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I still feel like Bannan’s best position has always been left midfield which is what he played a lot in the 2015/16 season as we had Lee/Hutch/Lopez in the middle. Not that this makes any difference to where we’re at now as we have too many wide midfielders as it is and don’t play the same system as 2016. For what it’s worth I do think Bannan is still a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the fluke goal and one win doesn't make the case. However it could be that the extra energy on the pitch is a result of not playing Bannan because he reduces the pace? I'd keep him on the bench for the next few games to find out. He's been ever present more or less last few seasons and it's not lead to overwhelming success. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion for what it’s worth is that a lot of our extra energy came from Patterson, Brown and indeed the Wednesday fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) We won last night because we got the rub of the green for the first time in weeks, it had nothing to do with Bannan not playing. When you look at the most likely replacements for Bannan (Wing and Byers), Bannan has more ability than both players put together. Oh and our set pieces weren’t great last night either, even though we had more height in the side than we’ve had for a while.
