2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Swartzy]

TBF to Dyche (not something many will type this season) in 22/23 everyone was imploring him to get Calvert Lewin back out there but he took his time even when the team were desperately struggling and then he returned for the final 10 or so games and played a part in keeping the team up. Then limped off at Wolves in the 37th game and had a disrupted pre season.

In last 12 months I think he's missed the odd game so with sensible management his injury issues appear a thing of the past so need to trust him when he thinks Branthwaite is ready or not.

It's been a poor start but far too early still to be putting in key players when they're not close to 100% fitness.

You are right with what you're saying, but it's a bloody hard task agreeing when Dyche is taking praise from it.

I do think the DCL issues were a different case though which kept him out for so long.

I just hope he doesn't play the same card with Branthwaite and hold off with him for too long..

Absolutely NO EXCUSE not to start him from the next game. He'll have had over 2 weeks of full training and a 90 minutes under his belt.

Realistically they’re not going to rush next years transfer budget back are they?

…ha, ha, I doubt they’ll be thinking of that.

They’ll bring him back when they think he’s right, hopefully that’s next week but much will depend on how he recovers after yesterday and how he feels in training next week.

You have just given the reason not to start him.

I think 90 minutes in an U21 match says otherwise, personally.

There's no reason to run him that long in his first game back unless you want to make sure he could hack the majority of a PL match the following week.

Dyche is desperate for him to be the answer to all of our problems as soon as possible.

Might feature for the Newcastle game - can't see it for Palace.

 

[TrixyStevens]

It’s a lot of pressure to ask a young fella to come back into the team and straight away change results considering the back four and Pickford have been poor.

Told him to stop being an idiot and fire Dyche.

He'll start one of the next two, probably Saturday tbh if he was on for 90 minutes in the under 21s.

The less he plays the more his value goes up.
We have just added an extra £20m on his value during the first 5 games

I may be totally wrong with this, but this sort of thing happens with a lot of our injuries. Always feel they take a while to come back, and innocuous knocks etc take months.

Don't understand how you would have 2 weeks of full training and 90 mins in a U21 game and not be match fit, but there we are.
