room0035 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The problem I have with Bannan is when surrounded by better players he performs, but when you need your captain to stand up and be counted he goes missing. We should be getting at least 7 out of 10 every game. He is not a kid but a seasoned pro. 1 goal and 4 assists in 18 games is that good enough for our most expensive player. Other in the league, Twine has 9 goals, 6 assists in 19 games. Gregory has 4 assists and 7 goals in 18 games. McGeady has 4 assists and 3 goals in 14 games. Kieran Lee has 3 goals and 4 assists in 7 games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats absolute trash to be fair He never goes missing and always gives everything he’s got The Problem is that when the best players are missing he tries to compensate by taking on more and more of the responsibility As for the stats - look at the chances we create and goals we score. Bannan is rarely more than 2 passes from the chance/goal Plus, he’s been playing a lot deeper than some of those players you mention 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may try Hollywood balls, his dead ball delivery may be poor, but he never hides 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Bannan never goes missing, that is nonsense. He always shows for the ball and tries to make things happen, but there is little denying the fact that he (like most players) produces his best when he is surrounded by better players. Having Luongo in midfield provides him with that insurance to go and do what he does best, which is create and get us ticking in the attacking third. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 For those slate him all the time though (I can be a critic, on occasions): Out of the current options, who would you replace him with? Think we all know the answer to that. Him, Luongo and one other is our best midfield combo. No chance you would replace him with Wing, Byers or Addenian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our inspirational leader (which is overlooked by the haters) and a dead ball specialist. If you don’t agree you’re a hater and don’t know anything about football. Even though our performances have improved significantly since the emergence of Corbeneau and the return of Luongo and Windass, that’s a smokescreen. It’s all down to Bannan. He’s worth every penny we pay him. Without him we’d be in non-league 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickswfc Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 People have got so used to the good stuff Bannan does every game and therefore take it for granted. Then those that don't realise they're doing this are overly critical of any mistakes he makes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have a reasonable range of passing and that is about it. Scored no goals and I'm not sure he even has an assist yet? If people think Bannan can be a bit lightweight in central midfielder, then christ knows what they must think of Wing. Makes Bannan look like Kante in comparison. Oh, and he always looks like he's on the verge of bursting into tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm an Essex Owl Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thought he was excellent yesterday after a dodgy first 5 minutes. Better when he plays higher up the pitch but he is just a class act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) The only slight negative I’d say on Bannan is his lack of goals. It’s a shame because with his quality surely he’s capable of 10+ goals in this league Edited November 28, 2021 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
