Will be interesting to watch Branthwaite during pre season. I agreed with the loan move because I didnt think he was ready at the end of last season (red card v Brentford, then poor at Arsenal). I haven't followed his loan spell but it sounds like its gone well, so I'm hoping we see a much improved player this incoming season.
Branthwaite should come back as back up and little more at the moment. One decent season in an average leaugue doesnt make him the solution to our poor defence. Hope he becomes a decent player for us but hes got a long way to go to convince us of that.
Me too mate. No better man to lead him through games than Tarks. Those 2 lads have goals in them as well and let’s face it, we need more of those.
No hes top class at shouting and very slow.
He needs games. I’m convinced on this lad- height/pace/left footed/scoring threat.
No, thing is Wolves didnt want him, and now Everton, they could be a reason why
I have no problem with him but buying stop gaps and back-ups is what has got us here, buy players that are better than what we have.
I hope you are right but the idea that he comes back and walks in alongside tarks next season is maybe expecting a bit much? It might work but if he has a few dodgy moments how long till the boo boos eat away at his confidence? Bring in a decent experienced starter and ease him in gradually for me.
As of yet we dont know who or if anyone is being brought in so its early to say its a mistake to let him go imo.
