Not in the squad today, is he injured ?

[Westbars Spireite]

Wasn't it suggested he'd left the ground in a strop? Could be nonsense of course.

Was in Costa at 2pm so he didn't go far

Poor as Banks' is, he should've been in the squad. That bench today was a farce

I asked the same question. Because if he isn't it's a bit of a concern that Saunders has given him an extra year but doesn't think hes good enough for this squad!!!

As I was walking back to the car chuntering about the game an old boy I was talking to said he saw Banks driving out of the grounds car park 10 minutes before kick off.

No idea if he's right or what the reasons are but there you go..

Definitely. Today's bench was definitely full of game changers.

Sadly they would all likely change it the way of the opposition (not that it needed changing).

Exactly, hence why we only made one sub, nobody to come on, I thought I heard Saunders says Banks did okay when he came on at Rochdale, whilst Donahue wasn't exactly praised, all points to a fall out if he was fit, annoying the question wasn't asked in the post match interviews

Well we've found our new super sub to replace Armand, another massive bloke who can't head a ball.

As far Humphreys, can anyone suggest a scenario where is might make an appearance in the 2nd half, an HT outbreak of the Black Death maybe?

Assuming no injury it'd be illogical for Banks not to be involved. Perhaps he said something DS didn't like which going by recent interviews is getting more and more frequent.

If Dan Jones gets injured/sent off

that is true and could result in the most pedestrian back 4 we've ever seen.

[RichThomps1]

Was sat near me in second half

Booed off by our own so called fans at Sheff Utd i don't think i would want to ever play again for us we have some crap fans...we really do.....

I doubt he's that delicate. He's a professional who will want to be playing every week doing a job he's lucky to have.

If I was him I'd be desperate to play for us again, booing or no booing because the way things are shaping up he's on is way out of full time football again and there won't be a third chance for him

Be nice to have someone who could actually provide competition for Jones. Humphreys is just occupying a subs spot for the sake of it.

I spend all the time worrying about the gaping holes in the starting eleven

When you start considering the lack of cover for certain critical players Evatt, Morsy, Jones and Lee (even after today's howler) one can get suicidal

Banks was sat in the West Stand, between the tunnel and the away end. He was stood at the exit next to the pitch watching for the last 5 minutes, his mate wanted to leave, but Banks said he wanted to see it end. Didn't look injured, although that doesn't mean he's not. Also, he didn't look in a strop, just looked like he always does, apart from he'd not made any effort with his Barnet, unlike when he's playing.
