2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Paul Rideout]

Doesnt seem fully back to his best. Still a far superior unit with him rather than Keane.

I'd rather fly you in to start at CB than Keane.

There's a reason we keep clean sheets when he plays

I think it's 4 in 6 games now. And one of the other games was a goal from a corner.

He makes an enormous difference, and had he been fit from the start of the season, I suspect we would be mid table.

I'd probably get even less mins than O'Brien

Dosen't need to be 100% to read the game as then the first couple of yards are in your head for positioning. That strength will get him to the very top eventually.

The Bournemouth disaster dosen't happen with him on the pitch, I think everyone would agree. Probably also still get a draw at Villa and hold on at Leicester so easily another six points.

What a big sausage he is!!

I think we'll get his deal extended before next season...dont see the big players coming back in for him as hes not been at his very best yet.

If we can hold onto him again and strengthen then its a massive boost for TFG

Currently this is the best place for him. Going to Man. Unite would've been a bad move given the mess they remain.

Long term though he's going to be wanting to play in europe regularly like any player with serious ambition. Currently he's probably where Stones in late 2013 so probably another 18 months unless club gets endless stuff right in the next year with regards manager and signings.

but he has potential to

TFG need to have a massive overhaul and the team needs to be around 8th next season to show substantial progress.

Be a few times where he's looked uncomfortable on the ball since he returned. Shame that Dyche won't bring on that side of his game. We look so much more competent with him in the team though.

He's the best defender we have on the ball. Remember the game he played left back? He's just not fully back up to speed imo.

Outside of the Man U disaster, teams have only scored 1 goal against him in 456 minutes. He IS the reason Dyche has a hope of drawing out the season.

And that goal was from a set piece. He makes a huge difference.

Even with United in, we have conceded 5 goals in 6 games. It's extrapolated out to 15 games, it shows we have the best defence in the league. I'm not making that case, but it underlines how solid we are kth him in.
