2024/25 Jake O'Brien

[Delargeinho]

I’ve been a big fan of Tarkowski but as you say without Branthwaite next to him it was quite the drop off . Once he came back there was a visible transformation .

In fairness it might be he’s as terrified of playing with Keane as we are of watching it happen

Individually he hasn't been better than Keane this season. But Keane seems to bring the insecurity into the defense.

I've said this before, Keane is a very nervous player, he seems too have developed an ability to pass these nerves right across the back four.

He hasn’t but the game next to brainthwaite he was like a different player. Some of that is to do with the player coming in but some deffo the player going out

No

ok

…oh you said it’s madness leaving a £25m player on the bench, only one I could think of was Beto but I don’t think it’s madness not playing him.

ha ha i thought oby was 25 mill!

The manager doesn't rate him its obvious. A considerable waste of our very limited transfer budget. Could have signed a championship centreback as 4th choice and spent 16m somewhere else .

 

[hallamblue]

Should have just got a loan signing for 4th centre back, what a waste of money.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I absolutely refuse to believe he's worse than Keane.

Wouldn't surprise me to see him go out on loan in January.

Plus Tarkowski has admitted he's been carrying injuries this season, injuries that even hampered his preseason.

Thelwell planning for life beyond Dyche.

Thelwell planning for life beyond Dyche.

….more likely, planning for life after Branthwaite and/or Tarkowski. Also, Keane might not want to extend his deal next summer.

Keane doesn't want to play for a club who blame him when their toast is burned?
