2019/20 Jarrad Branthwaite

[BornBlue76]

Be good to see how he looks next to Mase in pre-season.

cant wait for this! Holgate is the best English CB in the country this season.. really hope Gibson makes a return to the squad

 

[Pabbers]

How refreshing does it feel, made up for him.

does make me wonder do we spend 21 million on a 19 year old barca or just stick with our own 18 year old!?!

 

[MrGrumpy]

Very impressed with the lad, passing and defending excellent, no fear of him playing out the back, id have him with Holgate as starting CB next year

Yes was thinking this, do we really need another CB now as im.happy with him as 4th choice.

Unless we are buying a starter (Gabriel) and someone is off then I dont see the point of as you say, a Todibo etc. This lad isnt not going to see much action as 5th choice

Very handy find. Promising.

Brands signing?

This is totally spot on.
Guaranteed starter to replace Mina or Keane
Very happy with this lad as 4th choice centre half.

He has to take the credit ....and I don't rate the architect.

defo mate, had we been in europe next season maybe it would be different, and with 5 subs again, could a great season to spend all on starting improvements and look to give mins to those exciting kids we have.

I agree with most of this (especially not paying fortunes for other CBs), but not this 4th choice business.

He has come into the side through other players getting injured and hasn't really put a foot wrong; he should keep his place until he messes up.

 

[Groucho]

Him and Holgate are our best CB’s. Would keep.

 

[Cels]

That's a couple of solid performances Jarrad Branthwaite has under his belt now. The lad's looking good.

[banno]

That was as solid a performance as you would expect from a seasoned pro.
