Yacouba Sylla

[Matt Collins]

He was the worst player on the pitch yesterday according to The People which is a bit harsh.

Especially when considering that Bennett was on the same pitch at the same time.

Tim Abraham said he had a bad first half. I'm hoping he can make a real difference in terms of his physicality.

Interesting that players like Sylla, Sissoko, Diame are increasingly playing a box to box role rather than sitting infront of the back four in our league. I still think we lack protection for the defence though.

I imagine Delph will come in for Bannan against Liverpool so we'll see how it looks as a trio.

We win two crucial games with Bannan playing and then every wants Delph back.  Odd.

Yep, they might be shit, overpaid losers, but on the whole, they're a pretty likeable bunch of shit, overpaid losers.

Wonderful comment!!!

Yes but they are our shit overpaid losers!

Harsh but hilarious and suprisingly hard to argue with.

We also won a crucial game with Delph playing and Bannan not when we played the Kitstealers.

I'd like to point out, John, that I was being sarcastic at the original post.
I actually thought it was a stupid comment to make.

I aam never averse to a bit of gallows humour.

I was very impressed with the way he passed the ball at high speed straight to feet; the ball fairly fizzed along, allowing no chance of being intercepted.

Surely not? He's done very well I think in his first couple of appearances. Solid, good on the ball, plenty of energy and a good attitude. What's not to like?

I agree entirely, I have been pleasantly surprised with him these last two games. Tidy in possession, keeps the ball moving, shows good energy levels.

He's come from Ligue 2, lest we forget, that's a massive step up to make.

[Chris Smith]

The thing I like about him is he keeps it simple - plays the way he is facing, keeps the ball moving, always looks to find space and hasn't tried to overplay to get himself noticed. 

[Brend'Watkins]

Doesn't go hiding either.  He always seems to be involved, as a midfielder should.

[PaulWinch again]

I like him he is what our midfield needs and has started very well. Also when he starts we win!

We also beat the team we are playing next at their ground with Bannan playing and having a big part in two of the goals!  I'm with you TonyD.

I am not convinced by him, but then I think exprience and nerves are big mitigating factors.

One thing I will say is that the pace of the game does not appear to be an issue for him as it is for KEA or was for Makoun.
