He was involved in 30
Prem games last season and 35 the year before. Let’s also not forget dyche keet
Him on
The bench even though he was fit , when he returned from injury, think that was early last season
He wasn't fit.
The player, the manager and the club confirmed he needed planned surgery early Sept.
Surgery required which caused him to miss that pre-season.
not sure if you’re trolling my semantics or being a bit thick but given the context i clearly meant (and the stats prove) he has played 30 league games or more, in each of the past two seasons
I made a genuine mistake and read it as 30 games over a 2 year period which averages out at 15 per year.
But you're right I'm probably a bit thick as I only got a 1st degree honours in Law.
Thanks for the clarification.
cool.
baffled by anyone posting on an everton forum thinking branthwaite has only played on average 15 games a year
we’d be in the championship for a start
No he was on bench for 2 games at the the start of the 23/24 season as dyche went for Keane , If he wasn’t fit what was he doing on the bench. I’m sure there was another time dyche did the same thing another time, leaving him on the bench
So easy to get a degree these days
You're probably right , I wouldn't know , mine was more than 30 years ago.
As I said, the player, manager and club all said he wasn't fit. They werent all lying. The proof was in that he only managed 45 minutes pre season, and further confirmed by this;
^ Planned treatment the first week of September, for the injury he picked up in the summer which kept him out of pre-season.
It's not unusual, and certainly not for Everton in those years to have a player not fully fit on the bench as emergency cover, or one you'd not expect to use.
When he's back, I don't think Moyes will put him straight into the starting 11 either. That won't be because he thinks Keane is a better player.

You’d think he might have played for the U21s if he was anywhere close to coming back?
He's definitely not close to being back. He wasn't even back in training for our last game.
You don't need to be U21 to play for the U21's mate in the cups.
We do that though don't we? Like last week he had 2 keepers and 2 right backs, plus Aznou who it looks like they would have absolutely no intention of putting on regardless of what happened. Suggesting that we don't fairly regularly have players on the bench who aren't fully fit is very weird, it happens absolutely all the time.But was on the benchso 2 keepers and injured players, fantastic
