Jack of Clubs Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I’ve said this for a while now and it’s not a knee jerk reaction from tonight. When we lose heavily it tends to be when Bannan has a poor game. When the chips are down then you need a leader. I’ve never thought of Bannan as that individual. Can’t see it being taken away from him now but surely if we are to succeed we need a new leader on the pitch. Also a settled side and formation wouldn’t go amiss but that’s down to Moore. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blatter Posted November 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2021 Dunkley looks the obvious choice. Always been a great believer in a centre half as captain. Mike Lyons, Nigel Pearson, Rob Jones and Glen Loovens held their various teams together nicely. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 We've had same shocking captins of late. Lee's, lead by example, only problem was his example towards the end was a bad example. Bannan spent years barrating his team mates on the pitch. The amount of abuse he used to give fox and others didn't scream leader material. He still does this quite often, yes sometimes it warranted but he hardly encourages players. Not sure what the solution is, Palmer would be a good choice for me. But Captain is the last of our worries at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 It’s one of those things that might make a tiny bit of a difference but the boat already feels like it’s capsizing so I wouldn’t rock it further right now. Swapping captain mid season would be very difficult to do without looking like a huge vote of no confidence. Even if people feel Bannan isnt really the man for the job, taking it away now would very likely make his performance level drop further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 From what I remember, most people celebrated the captaincy being taken off Lees and given to Bannan. Harsh on Lees and it improved nothing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries were creeping in though and whether he was ideal captain material other than by example is another question. Big fan of the guy though - could do with him now!!

davey_wells Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Can't believe Dunkley isn't captain. I could understand it when he wasn't getting a game, but he's tailor made for it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Bannan’s place in the side has to come into question now if Luongo and Byers are available on Saturday. I know there’ll be Bannan fans on here that pull out some stats to prove how great he is but he’s not having a very good season in my view. Even though he got the assist I thought he was poor at the weekend for all the ball he had. It sounds like he was poor again tonight and some of the best results this season have come when he hasn’t played. It may have been better for both parties if he’d left at the end of last season. I think he could still have been an asset for a lot of championship sides but it’s gone a bit stale with him at Wednesday 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Dunkley should be our captain, I doubt we will see a change and Bannan will keep the armband. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnssweetshop Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Bannans taken the pee this season, he should have commanded the middle.. Instead, he's slunk into a can't be arsed I'm getting shedloads. for turning up mode. He's the new Reach. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 He's never been a captain. Just like Tom Lees. It is incredible that we've not replaced Loovens with a real leader on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
