Having a right footer LB might not be the worst as he likes to cut insideb

It will be a terrible, terrible idea as it’ll blunt any attack down the left hand side.

 

[Carlito]

I expect he'll experience all sorts of unusual injuries and circumstances before he either leaves in the summer, or, like eventually happened with Gbamin, the club gives up pretending.

 

[Marius57]

Good points. I’m more worried about the speed factor than anything else. Godfrey is actually a good matchup for him if he’d been available. I wonder if Holgate would slide over to LB in a similar role - he’s done it before and it would allow Branthwaite to come in. It’s a dire option but might be the best one for Saturday.

I'd suggest if anything branthwaite would be the one out of him and Holgate to drop in there. He was on the left side of the back 3 vs newcastle which to me indicates he is the stronger one on his left foot.

It was an inconclusive covid test, but he'll be playing Saturday.

Options are v slim Mike

 

[Blue83]

if hes out again its pretty obvious they've had a conclusive positive test

So why can't they just say he's out with covid ?

 

[MikeH72]

Options are v slim Mike

Yes they are. There are no good options. We are getting absolutely bummed.

Like when we play Godfrey there?

 

[MikeH72]

Like when we play Godfrey there?

Yes exactly like that.

 

[Bilbo]

Bring Baines back!

Fairly sure Branthwaite is left footed .

 

[Curtis]

I like the fact we recruited youth prospects for the future but enlisting fetuses to start in the epl especially when they hailed from inferior leagues without a proper period of time to settle is daft. We needed some ready made experienced players who could immediately adapt especially in these circumstances.

 

[JimmyK]

I still can’t believe we’ve only got one left back in the squad it was crazy in the summer and even worse now.

 

[Street end man]

Who'd have thought he'd have to fight for his shirt so early on. After today he's got one on his hands, and from an RB.
Early days but it's all looking rosier.
