2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

[overkill]

Fair enough. I don't watch any of the U21 so I'll concede to your superior knowledge on that.

However, I do know that even if we threw Mykolenko down to that level he would still offer absolutely nothing past the half way line.

He's right about the gap of u21 to first team, look at the EFL Trophy, you dont see any u21 teams winning it, they mostly lose to league 1/2 sides.

Your right about Mykolenko though, going forward he offers nothing, possibly would still offer nothing at lower level as well.

Patterson isn't great either, but I'd think young at left back & starting Patterson at right back is a good way to drop Mykolenko

Needs dropping, confidence even defending now looks shot to pieces.

A change of shape would suit him too, along with a few others but that won’t happen with Dyche.

Surely we have a lb in the academy worth a few mins? Be good to see that in the cup .

Change of scenery would be even better

Coward turned his back on their goalscorer - his contract needs ripping up .....a poor left back - thanks Raffa .....

 

[Ferguson1878]

Can’t stand this fella boss job .loaded good solid hairline , and here’s me skint and battling the m forehead every morning

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Letting Godfrey leave now not looking the brightest call ever either. Nice one Thelwell.

 

[jackyboy]

Worrying if we don't have a left back in the academy better than this fella

 

[f.t.r.s]

Eastern European Hibbert....
Looks good in a defensive side when his only job is to defend...
Craps the bed the second he's asked to go forward and beat a man or get a ball in

 

[EGWToffee]

Possibly our worst player that starts every game unchallenged.

He’s just not good enough. Nice guy though

 

[Ferguson1878]

Nice guy though

Suppose there’s always that

lol what are you on about? Literally 6 months after getting him Atalanta wanted rid.

We have literally no backup for LB

We have literally no backup for LB

He's called Ashley Young. It's just that somehow he's first of three in the RB stakes.

Everton.

 

[Carlito]

He didn't even come cheap, either.

Guessing the lad playing left-back for Bournemouth on Saturday cost less.

 

[Walken]

Letting Godfrey leave now not looking the brightest call ever either. Nice one Thelwell.

Was a sub on huge wages, we had to shift him

Not really, that would leave mgt with en easy out. Godfrey is def not the answer either.
Nor is Young if Ndaiye continues to play on left.
Need someone who can link well with our best player.
Ndaiye actually creates a lot of space and good positions for Myko. He's poor to very poor with the ball too often. Instead of continuing the skill, execution and vision of Ndaiye the play invariably breaks down.
If there was one position I'd be spending on now it's LB (followed closely by others)
