That is nonsense.Dyche only played Branthwaite last season when he had no other option and was forced to. It's going to take that same situation before he plays O'Brien, even with us conceding so many goals.
Branthwaite came back late to preseason last year. He had been away with the England under 21s at the euros, which they won.
Dyche brought him in after two or three games and left him there even though Keane was fit all season.
