2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

He looked quite poor but he's probably going to after hardly playing many minutes. I think last time he had a spell on the sidelines he came back with some rust then just turned back into his old self, glad to have him back and for the 90.

Looked poor bringing the ball out of defence and striding into midfield twice?

Looked poor stopping two of their attacks which Keane would have failed at ?

Looked poor with headed clearances and being in the right place several times for interceptions?

Our best outfield player bar Ndiaye imo

Branthwaite and Garner make a world of difference to this team. It’s a completely different spine with those two in it fully fit and playing well.

As I said mate, you don't get an opinion anymore on players, you said Ndiaye was crap.

Garners out of contract in 2026. Need to get him extended pronto -- actually forgot him

Pickford
Branthwaite
Garner
Ndiaye

Those 4 starters and aside from possible u21s not much else.

Not sure why you think i said he was "crap"?
 
I dont think its a coincidence that while most everyone was poor, this was the first game in a long time that we had the majority of possession and had 18 shots. Poor shots, yes, but basically the only time we had so much possession, shots, or time in the opponents box was the Bournemouth match. Sometimes the little things like calmly heading a ball to a teammate make a huge difference without showing on the stat line.

That’s the spine for me. I’m hoping Chermiti comes good this season too, losing him Garner Branthwaite Patterson in pre season was so annoying when you’re wanting to build round that core.

Could potentially add Iroegbunam to that list as well if he could become a bit more disciplined.

If we can get the squad fit again and add to it in January I think we have enough.

Yeah for me its those players named:
GK: Pickford
DF: Branthwaite
MF: Garner / Iroegbunam
ACM: Ndiaye
CF: Chermiti

Only 6 players and as were in the Branthwaite thread we clearly need to bring in a top notch defensive partner for him.
 
Great to have him back. Defence is always more calmer with him at the heart of it and as the recovery defender on a few breaks West Ham had he stood up well to them.

The problem now is how far out of sorts Tarks is.
