KrolMong Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I would have zero qualms about starting that midfield three in league games. So much athleticism and mobility in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 59 minutes ago, Reesh said: Exactly. Could Byers and Vaulks interchange ? I see it like this. In games where we are going to dominate the ball and teams are going to sit, your midfield players have got to have vision and craft to unlock space. That’s where I would play Bannan and Byers. The wing backs would be high up the pitch so there’s always players trying it to get in behind. But away from home or teams that want to squeeze us, that’s where Vaulks, Dele and Dennis would play, that’s where runners and mobility is needed. Our six midfielders collectively have everything. Pace, Power, Craft and Guile. The only potential gap is a proper stopper but that could be Byers or Bakinson as it stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyOwl Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Just two negatives tonight for me 1 the seats in the south stand are shit with less leg room than Ryanair The 2 blokes sat behind me with commentary on every single pass, tackle, touch, throw in, slag every player just before they score then say we’ll done he’s had a reet game, shout great ball then it goes out well that wa shit, bash is lazy, badger is useless (who the fook calls Patterson badger) adeniran passes back all the time cos he can’t be arsed to run. On and on and on and on blah blah blah Couldnt wait for half time to stand up and get a rest from the shite talk but no then they have to dissect the first half (apart from the 3 goals we’ve been quite poor lucky they haven’t scored) and also then give the same commentary on the half time entertainment with the two blokes kicking the balls into the net (what’s he blasting it from there for just roll it in) ffs SHUT UP. Get me back in my season ticket seat in the grandstand Saturday I love you 😍 Apart from that I thought we were great 🙌🙌🙌 UTO ITI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will lose FDB though either next week or at the end of his contract. Personally think Dennis offers slightly more of the two of them.

They offer a lot more than many people realise. But then you look at what Bannan did in the build-up to the first goal at Bolton: terrific hard work followed by brilliant close passing. It's certainly a nice problem to have. I've reluctantly changed my mind recently and now would take any very good offer for Fizz, in view of having the other five. It would be just our luck if last night's injury turns out to be a real one. He looked in some considerable pain going off. Fingers crossed it isn't bad.

KrolMong Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The time has come to start thinking beyond Bannan, but at the same time acknowledging he’s our most technically gifted footballer by quite a distance. I’d like to see him rotated more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laceups Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Bannan definitely had a big part to play and my reference is based on the future as ready made replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricat Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Our younger players , especially midfielders, could learn a lot from Barry Bannnan. I would imagine he does have input in training.

Laceups Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Definitely Bri, hope he finishes his career here. Having the strength in depth just allows him to be rested to keep getting the best out of him as and when required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto_Man Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 15 hours ago, Professor Plum said: Unpopular post alert. What I found interesting about last night was the Rochdale managers comments and his reference to the stats produced by their stat man. Take the second half away, (which sounded like a non event) and he reckons we just failed to penetrate them at all. Three fine strikes, without a doubt, but we won't be scoring goals like that every game. As with the defence, I've previously said he needs to be able to switch from a 3 to a 4 and so he should and will, tailor the midfield with one eye on the opposites. Can't see Bannan going anywhere just yet, along with Byers, for me, they should be the first 2 picked in the middle although I understand the need to rest/rotate from time to time. As for FDB and Adeniran being regular partners in midfield? I just can't see it. Bannan still has a big part to play this season IMO and I can see him extending at the end of the season albeit used sparingly next season. Thing is Plum we did a score those goals and because Rochdale were such a damp squib (they didn't have a shot on target in the whole game) there was no motivation for the team to go gung ho. There's no need for concern just because the manager of a team on its arse who we just put 3 past in what looked like a pre season friendly is trying to put a sheen on a wank result by inferring we were lucky with 3 long range strikes. He should rather be addressing the issue that his team continued to fail to close us down when it was clear we were shooting from distance and having considerable success in doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Anyone who has watched our games so far will testify the attacking side has not reached the levels it can. The heat has certainly played a part in that, the injuries certainly have and getting the defensive side functioning as to take immediate priority.

Nevertheless Turk, I’d be surprised, nay, astounded if FDB and Adeniran became a regular thing. Just can’t see it happening, but you never know.
