2022/23 James Garner

[Osamabindiesel]

The fact that he looks like a legitimately well rounded talent is huge for me. The fact that he also doesn’t look out of place in a Ride or Die Yoloswag Balls to the Wall midfield also has me very excited about him. He actually can play footy, get stuck in and not roasted for pace every five seconds. If someone comes in for a silly bid for Onana, we aren’t necessarily screwed.

We need to play Onana + Garner together.

Its the pairing that can take the team up a notch.

Gana is the one who should make way although i think thats more likely next season. 34 in September and a good option to come on for the last 20mins of games to press the opposition to death.

I can see the angle of keeping Gana in the lineup as he is playing at a high level and has loads of experience. I do think both Garner and Onana need to see more time on the pitch together and Gana should be rotated with Onana as opposed to Gana just starting every game.

Not until the math says we are not going down. !

Just noticed he really snapped into the tackle strong on the edge of the box to win the ball, starting the move for the 2nd goal.

Dyche needs to be brave and trust Onana in front of the back 4 and then let Garner progress the ball next to him. If we can add a decent third midfielder that would be an ok line up with Gana and Doucoure in reserve.

I don’t think we’ll see this until next season though as Gueye seems to be his go to holding midfielder at the moment and I doubt he’s changing that at this stage.

Big call from Dyche to drop Onana for Garner though and it’s paid off last two games.

Probably our best midfielder with the ball at his feet. I've been impressed with him since he's come into the side.

 

[Goodisongang]

Like the look of him me, seems to do a bit of everything.

Most importantly, he's probably our only cm who is really comfortable with the ball, odd thing to say like

 

[roy vernon]

He looks like a decent player who is an incisive passer of the ball, but, he is not frightened to get stuck in either.

 

[Simon Buttle]

I knew when I saw this guy playing for Forest he would make a good signing for us. I always said he would come good after his injury and a bit of game time. As others have said if we can just get that 3rd midfielder to add to him and Onana we could have a decent little unit in there.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Was unlucky not to score as well. Very tidy indeed.

 

[YoboCopter]

Why does he need to be compared to everyone? Barry mccarthy etc

Onana was viera wasnt he look how thats turned out

Just let them breathe and what will be will be

 

[Nymzee]

Needs to stick some black boots on then I'll love him even more.

 

[cantlivewithem]

Patto, Garner and Onana are the future of this team and I would optimistically throw Branthwaite into that list
