Brendan Galloway

[Tin-Tin]

Started at LB today for the FA cup game, hopefully has an excellent game.

However, RK would have seen very little of him other than pre-season training and would surely have been concentrating on Baines and Oviedo as the two likely leading candidates for LB.

Galloway will, I think, overtake Oviedo in the pecking order by the start of next season, and that's assuming Oviedo is still here... possibly one of those on the January trading list ?

...they are very stats orientated and perhaps Galloway's didn't stack up. I might be wrong but as soon as he went on loan I thought his time at Everton was numbered. Baines was struggling from an injury perspective, I'd want Galloway as back-up but his decision to prefer Oviedo says lots. I might be wrong, i have no insight.

Galloway isn't the answer for Baines replacement. The summer needs to be spent looking for long term covers for our aging back line. Holgate looks a class act and is a real find. Need 2 full backs (particularly left back as I think Baines best days are behind him now)

Shame we lost out on Sam Byrom - is he even playing at WHU? I also think this Charlie Taylor from Leeds is someone to keep an eye on. Decent young left back

He's a CB anyway so was never Baines' replacement.

I only saw him at left back and he didn't overly impress me. He was just ok - and given the current ambition of the club and fans, we're aspiring higher than just ok.

Well let's stick him in his actual position and watch him be more than ok

....I doubt he has the physicality to play CB in the Premier League.

Wouldn't say he's any less powerful and imposing than Stones was/is.

....Stones has greater height/strength for me. Galloway is rapid, but imagine him against the likes of Benteke.

Well you wouldn't stick him on Benteke if you were a decent manager (;

i assume he wasnt great today when he finally got a start. he was hooked in a home defeat to derby

Always happy to eat my words if it benefits Everton.

....reports that we are cancelling his loan and sending him to Derby County instead.

Any link Eggs? I just hope the lad can play regular football.

Shame he's got to drop down a division like.
