Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 ...well, according to FourFourTwo magazine, anyway. It was voted for by supporters, who were asked to pick the standout players in their division, not including their own side. The highest ranked League One players are: Scott Twine (MK Dons), Michael Smith (Rotherham), Ross Stewart (Sunderland), Cole Stockton (Morecambe), Dapo Afolayan (Bolton), Dan Barlaser (Rotherham), Joe Jacobson (Wycombe), Will Keane (Wigan), Barry Bannan (Sheff Weds), James McClean (Wigan) and Cameron Brannagan (Oxford). Here's what the mag has to say: 'For all the tribalism this game throw up, the line about being far too good for this league is reluctantly murmured about Bannan most Saturdays. Often, opposition supporters rate the former Aston Villa and Crystal Palace string-puller higher than Wednesdayites - those who get to see the silky Scot each week are almost spoilt by his talents.' It's hard to argue with that. 15 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Ask all League One Managers who the best player in league one is and i reckon half of them say Bannan! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh hang on, are they saying he’s 8th or 9th in L1 (harsh!), plus another 30-odd better than him in Champ? I’d even be surprised if the latter is true tbh. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on supporters voting for players they've watched against their teams this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) I guess there might be 30+ better all-rounders, and it’s likely that out-and-out goalscorers are rated disproportionately high. But I genuinely don’t reckon there are 40 better players with the ball at their feet than Bazza outside the Prem.

No Uniform Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Bannan would still be a standout player in the Championship. Maybe 1 or 2 on that list would do the same. We are lucky to have him. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you are only judging a player by how good he is with the ball at his feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably be around what £8m.. He is a great player and servant to the club but I would take the money... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I think it’s probably about right… maybe he could get to 35th or so. The Championship has some young, quality, vibrant players these days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethman75 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Bloke should be in a leading Champ team or a lower level Prem team, not in L1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
