I’ve seen Bannan enough times to say he’s a good player at this level and one who can dictate the pace of a game

 

---

[shmmeee]

He’s looked okay when I’ve seen him. Never thought he’s “ran the game”. Has a decent delivery and long ball.

Thought he turned the tide completely in the cup game TBH. We were pretty safe before he came on.

 

[covcity4life]

He would be pushing it making the bench for us. He’s decent enough, but we have about 4 better midfielders.

I think he's a good player personally

Tbf that is actually one of the games I didn’t watch so I will take your word for it!

[clint van damme]

People bigged him up last match because the agenda crew was still alive and they wanted to paint it as bannen showing up lampard as tactically inept.

What utter nonsense.
You're so intent on your constant sniping at people you're talking gibberish.
He ran the game when he came on on the cup and it wasn't until we changed shape in E/T we nullified him.

He ran the game in the league and he's given us lots of problems in the past, he's a very decent player at this level and our chances today would be much I proved if he was absent.

 

[Jamesimus]

Again, decent enough. Would he be in our starting 11 if Grimes, Sheaf, Torp and Rudoni all fit?

 

[skybluecam]

Eccles is a surprise

 

[shmmeee]

Torp injured?

 

[Nick]

Torp injured?

Lati in for binks and 2 up front again

Lati captain

 

[shmmeee]

Really hope that’s 532 and not BTA on the wing (makes the city sing)

 

[Johhny Blue]

If you had your way only idiots would think we could make the playoffs. I remember your mini rant at me before the Swansea game.

The season is long and hard. 1 point away and winning at home isn't a bad way to go or even hope for. If picking results was easy the bookies would be skint. I've bet on the draw but think we will win. But we could still lose.

Sorry I don’t remember any rant. Obviously I left an impression and you didn’t

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Eccles is a surprise

Not for me . I thought him and Grimes looked a lot better than Grimes and Torp

 

[Jamesimus]

Really hope that’s 532 and not BTA on the wing (makes the city sing)

Same. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I want to see 532 also.

 

[clint van damme]

Eccles is a surprise

Think everyone jumps to conclusions when someone's dropped to the bench or from the squad but it just shows it doesn't mean they're out of the managers thinking.

 

[Lamps]

Again, decent enough. Would he be in our starting 11 if Grimes, Sheaf, Torp and Rudoni all fit?

Is Sheaf fit?

I'd have him in our side presently

 

[PVA]

Yeah I had Eccles down to start.

Torp has been poor the last couple of games and Eccles did well when he came on the other night.

 

[shmmeee]

Same. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I want to see 532 also.

Think with this personnel it works much better. With EMC on I’m less worried about the striker being isolated.

I'm entitled to my opinion and let's be honest I've been proven right so many times recently. Some posters were almost giddy at putting it down to lampard not adjusting etc

I mean lets not forget we really won 2-0

I've always been a fan of bannen and said he's a good player a few minutes ago. But stand by my point people made a bigger deal of his impact on that game to have a go at lampard.

 

[Chris1987]

They don't get many wins at home. They get lots of draws. If we get a draw I win. If we win we get 3 points. Winning a little bit of money isn't as good as us getting 3 points and I got better odds at the draw.

Each to their own ! I only ever bet on what I think the outcome will be.

 

[Nick]

Bannan starts for them

 

[covcity4life]

Eccles is a surprise

Hopefully he plays well but also can people stop chatting shit about how lampard doesn't rate him etc

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Yeah I had Eccles down to start.

Torp has been poor the last couple of games and Eccles did well when he came on the other night.

Grimes needs movement from his midfield partner/partners . Torp was fairly static against QPR . Eccles made a difference when he came on

 

[Ashdown]

I can see so much weakness in that line up with Latibeaudiere and Eccles and Thomas-Asante …..but they’ve all offered something at sometime this season.

 

[clint van damme]

Torp injured?

I didnt think he was great the other though the fact he's not even made the bench would suggest so

 

[Para1140]

Bannan playing

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Hopefully he plays well but also can people stop chatting shit about how lampard doesn't rate him etc

Seems to be only a couple "chatting shit "
Shmee is one , can you work out the other ?

 

[Grendel]

Sorry I don’t remember any rant. Obviously I left an impression and you didn’t

I love a good put down

 

[Grendel]

Think everyone jumps to conclusions when someone's dropped to the bench or from the squad but it just shows it doesn't mean they're out of the managers thinking.

Torp I assume is injured as not even in the squad

 

[Lamps]

Some don't consider playing to our opponents strengths, injuries or knocks we don't know about or giving players a rest when we can.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Looks a decent starting XI against a difficult side . Plenty of options on the bench to change formation later in the game if we need a goal or two

 

[covcity4life]

Torp clearly injured or ill.

 

[clint van damme]

You're entitled to your opinion but as far as Im concerned you're talking bollocks because anyone who saw that game knows the impact he had.
And you're constant sniping is getting beyond boring, though I'm sure you'll get a few likes from your little gaggle.
That's the last I'll say on it though, crack on.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Or the three players you mentioned get a lot of unwarranted criticism ?

 

[covcity4life]

Tbf subs bench is stacked now Patterson in so someone has to drop
