2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Zatara]

Really weird. The lad playing instead of him is called Roman Egan-Riley (no, me neither). Aged 18 from Spurs. Appears to have not even played at U21 level for Spurs. Anyway they are currently losing 2-1.

Isn't it CJ at Burnley? Even so it's ridiculous. Although england do like having a shorter CB in. Guehi, Konza are favoured alongside a bigger lad.

thats absolutely mad but at least he got some form of rest

only worry is it makes him think he needs a move, but when an unknown burnley player is ahead of you it makes it a bit moot compared to quansah being picked ahead of you

Thanks. That makes more sense. Flashscore had him listed as Roman. Assume they must be brothers.

Random from Carsley in a meaningless game, but he seems to do that experimentation from time to time.

France U21 5-3 England U21: Huge Ekitike hits hat-trick as England experiment

Manager Lee Carsley says England's Under-21s "have to experiment" after suffering a 5-3 defeat by France and finishing with 10 men.

No idea if Branthwaite wouldmake much difference to the senior squad which hasn't evolved much - surely he'll be in there over the next few years.

Wouldn't worry too much. Think the Dan Burn experience won't last too much longer. If a half fit Broja can make him that uncomfortable then he won't last long against half decent international class, never mind what awaits in the tournaments.

The hits just keep on coming. 15 million euros. Damn.

 

[Dddddd]

Carsley doesn’t know what day it is

Chats absolute rubbish and wouldn’t last 5 minutes at Everton

Harwood-Bellis was at fault for 3 of the 5 goals.

Little wonder Man City binned him and he now plays for bottom of the table Southampton.

No idea why Carsley picked him unless he’s deliberately trying to get sacked.

 

[Blueeyedboy]

Branthwaite wasn’t in the u21 training video, as far as I could see anyway, so if he missed training that might explain him not starting

He's a right sided centre back used on the left yesterday...next to a player making his debut and some might say, in front of a dodgy keeper.

Bit harsh on him.

 

[Old Blue 2]

Wouldnt put it past Uefa to help them

Knowing what we know about officialdom acting favourably towards them, agreed...

Casey’s always rated harwood-bellis, he called him up for the seniors when he was in charge. Branthwaite’s never really been a regular at any age group for England for whatever reason.

Best thing for him after that result.

Conceding 5 goals when you leave your best defender and player our is clearly a stupid decision. But it's England. Can't stand them

Hadn't Drenthe turned up at Finch Farm like Duffman a few days earlier also?

Yeah but according to Dave Drenthe would have won the FA Cup for us, and Moyes was at fault for being a disciplinarian. While in another thread Dave is raving about Dyche being a disciplinarian for slapping Patterson.
