2021/22 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Nymzee]

Surprised he wasn’t knocked out from that punch. Pickford isn’t so hot at clearing his box.

did they even do any sort of concussion tests on him?
i hope ex-players with brain trauma sue the backwards football authorities into oblivion.

We don't have to take a chance. It's Lampard gambling wih his career. For that reason, he'll select the players who he thinks give him the best chance of 3 points, not just chuck some youth in because he's sick of seeing the tosh we have on the pitch all season.
I guarantee you that neither of the combinations you are talking are Lampard's first choice.

Then I guess relegation it is...

 

[leslad]

Like his combination of composed and aggressive. Was a very difficult match to come into yesterday

 

[MrGrumpy]

Think he had concussion yesterday, some of the things he did would imply he wasn’t fully all there

Didn't help him getting smacked in the head by pickford , that was some dig when you see it in slow motion.
Lots of players would have cried off with that, at his age.

Yep he got jawed didn't he, id honestly rest pickford when we play away at Newcastle

They checked him over and stuff but I’m not sure on what the protocol is for it.

He has been OK mostly this season, but against Brentford you could see him getting the jitters, wonder if it was affecting him even then ?
Watched the third goal again this morning what was his positioning for that ?

Sincerely hope not mucker, but it's a genuine worry right now. If I was a betting man I'd say we'll stay up, but the character of our squad is pants and therefore I'm not ruling it out.

Hence why I want Frank to think outside of the box for his CB conundrum...

I don't want relegation but jesus these "experienced" players are absolute pants.

Not sure how anyone watched the match yesterday and thought this kid is what we need right now. He looked absolutely petrified passing the ball more than 2 yards. He may turn out to be a good player but he does not look ready. This is not the time to play him and possibly destroy what little confidence he has.

What other choice do we have?

 

[DayL08]

What other choice do we have?

The choice unfortunately has to be Keane and Holgate. Why potentially destroy a kids career playing him at the wrong time. This is not the right Environment to bring him into.

Possibly or possibly he could show he has more of a will to defend and more nuts than Holgate who is very arrogant

 

[NathDogg]

I would start branthwaite, I've seem enough from him in the brief minutes he's had and I've had enough of the two Berk brothers at CB to last me a lifetime, sadly we've still gotta pick one of them due to Mina being made of Weetabix.

I'm not even sure which one I'd pick either, they are both equally hopeless.
