I feel sorry for him. You take a normal young footballer having a decent career, early days, and you send him to the wilderness, to oblivion, to fart in the wind because Dyche likes his favourites too much.
 
Branthwaite goes next season at the latest. That’s his opportunity.
Nah, he will be another transfer who drifts through the club hardly playing then goes on loan/gets a move imo. I always thought it was a strange transfer. Branthwaite can't even stay fit at the moment so nobody is paying large sums for him until he gets his fitness and form back, hell if we can attract a half decent name to lead us he might even stay longer term. Interesting times ahead.

He was brought in to cover the "loss" of Godfrey and Holgate with an eye on the future.

He was never going to be starting games every week at this point.

Would agree with this.

Only surprise is I thought maybe he'd be ahead of Keane - but not at all surprised he's not, really.

It was widely known he was a recruitment team signing, and I always felt it was Textor shenanigans.

You would certainly hope he would be a better option than Keane but realistically none of us know if he is good or not unless we all watch Lyon on the sly. (possible I suppose...)

He ticks a lot of the boxes but he is a bit of a mystery right now. I'm sure his time will come though, like with most centre backs a lot of their chances will come from timing. Most manager don't like to mess around with their defence if they can help it.

Yes look how many games Keane played and Branthwaite kept on the subs bench.
