| The Barry Bannan Master Class Match Thread 08:50 - Jan 3 with 30050 views | numptydumpty | I will front up for this one, as feel this is a must win game. Finally, I hope this is one game too far for Mr Bannan against ourselves. But bloomin 'eck, a midday kick off. And for the Sheffield fans to get there. One of these days, we will all have to get to the ground immediately after our full english breakfast. Its hard to get into a game so early in the day and think actually it generally shows similar for all players also. Despite that, I do believe we will win comfortably, three nil, perhaps. But if its a loss, the natives will certainly be getting restless and a happy new year, it won't be. So for me, a three nil win - Burrell with two and Cook with the other !!! Don't want to consider any other possible outcomes !! C'mon you Rrr's.... [Post edited 3 Jan 8:51]

| The Barry Bannan Master Class Match Thread on 10:35 - Jan 3 by Hunterhoop | The only thing I’d definitely do tomorrow, and I think it’s more important than any formation or other selection, is have Sam Field man mark Barry Bannan all game. Literally stand on his toes for 90 mins. If Bannan is stopped, Wednesday will lose. Everything else tactically is of secondary importance. Field gets about the pitch, can tackle and is bigger than Bannan. Have him do that job, and make it a 10v10 game. We’ll win then. I suggested this to someone at the club before the away game and was laughed at, as Bannan was some kind of geriatric footballer who holds no influence. Odd. |
That is incredibly ignorant, unless it came from someone at the club whose role has nothing to do with football and never watches games. |  |

| The Barry Bannan Master Class Match Thread on 16:32 - Jan 3 with 1873 views | Juzzie | This isn’t a ‘must win’ game in terms of points needed but by heck we do need to win it in terms of morale especially as West Ham are getting tonked at so far winless Wolves and we could do with going into the cup game on a bit of a high. |  | |  |

Yeah, I’m so glad that we only had three home games in the whole of the first two months of the season so we could fit in two in three days at the turn of the year when it’s cold enough to freeze your nuts off. |  | |  |

Or somebody who watches games but doesn't understand what they are seeing. |  |

| The Barry Bannan Master Class Match Thread on 14:35 - Jan 3 by FDC | JS said something about there not being enough time to work on different shapes and tactics before tomorrow, but I hope he does consider man marking Bannan. With the rate that games are coming at us, and how tedious they have been, feeling a bit flat about this one. As James said: |
Ominous that the manager is getting his excuses in early against the division's bottom, administratively relegated team. Doesn't exactly whet your appetite, does it? |  |

| The Barry Bannan Master Class Match Thread on 17:29 - Jan 3 with 1642 views | bosh67 | I'm starting to think that a cardboard cut out of Bannan wobbling about in the icy wind on the centre circle could beat us... on its own. I agree we have to man mark him, even the cardboard cut out. But we've said this every Wednesday game for the last x years and every single time we let him loose and give him free reign. If he assists or scores tomorrow I think we should buy him simply so he can't hurt us anymore. This has all the makings of another classic 1-2 humiliating defeat. I just hope, for once, that we come out, mark him out the game completely and beat them comfortably. About 14 days ago I would have said this was a 100% win but as the last 3 games have proved, we are more than capable of f*cking up royally here. [Post edited 3 Jan 17:29]

So what do you suggest, putting the footballing leviathan Varane back in to ponce around for 90 minutes without laying a glove on Bannan or anyone else? The underbelly of this team is so soft it is dragging across what’s left of the ice rink of a pitch. The lack of grit and determination beggars belief. It’s there for everyone one to see and JS has finally woken up to the reality that is QPR. Unless they dig deep tomorrow and win the most winnable of games, the “hyperbole” will go into overdrive. |  | |  |

Ouch! Cruel and unusual punishment indeed. |  | |  |

| The Barry Bannan Master Class Match Thread on 22:56 - Jan 3 with 872 views | ParkRoyalR | Given the space we gave Dozzell in the 1st Half at Pompey, we must closedown this space against Bannan. Field & Varane have the legs to do this, but most Managers these days are too arrogant to man-mark an opposition player. I'd rather play Field & Varane in the 2 tomorrow with Morgan ahead of them as the CAM. If Madsen does start, it will be an interesting watch to compare & contrast with Bannon. Madsen showed for about 1 in 5 of the balls I thought he should have against Norwich, It will be interesting to compare how often these two are aggressively running into space & demanding the ball as I think this is the root cause of our recent poor performances, Also once they receive the ball how ambitious are they with it, are they content to be neat & tidy or do they show aggression & ambition to effect the game, Hopefully Madsen can extend his good spells in games into a full 90 minutes & can put together some balls in behind for our Wingers & Forwards, we need more than being neat & tidy and to create real chances for our forwards and turn this mini slump around. |  | |  |
| The Barry Bannan Master Class Match Thread on 00:17 - Jan 4 with 806 views | CLAREMAN1995 | 2 pages in and I am not sure if this thread is a joke or serious regarding Bannan .Its not Messi or Ronaldo in their prime its just an old guy while excellent on the ball cannot beat us on his own. We need to score early that will put them on the back foot and allow us to get a few more to salvage something from this horrible week and a half. QPR 3 SW 0 |  | |  |
