Goats squad analysis thread 2024/5

…I suppose we can point to the fact that our defence is one of the best in the league. If Dyche has the same players available to him next season then we have a real chance of surviving.

Going to be very hard to keep as many clean sheets as last season without Branthwaite. Keane coming in for that Wolves game over Xmas and the backline imploding showed how bad things can quickly get again if next season he's starting five games in a row.

My feeling is deal will be agreed for Onana to leave before June 30th so with other releases that will hopefully satisfy FFP for 24/25.

I think Branthwaite is a player to then try to hold up to the August deadline day. Just to extract the highest fee possible and/or see if a credible takeover can actually materialise. Then there is more potential to keep him another year at least.
 
Thelwell and Dyche are going to have to play a blinder over the next four months.

The chickens could really come home to roost next season if they don't.

Has Mills fallen off the face of the earth?

I've been searching for info about him and nothing doing. This is the latest reference I could find on the interwebs...

He’s injured. He came back to us. He’s recovering. What were you expecting to hear about him exactly?
