2025/26 James Tarkowski

[Blobloblob985]

Want him gone this summer. At very least stripped of captaincy. Shouldn’t be starting games but don’t think he’s the sort of player to want to sit on the bench (ego). He’s just a thug and one of the last remnants of the Dyche ways we want to stay clear of.

….actually thought he was indecisive and sluggish today, a few times Branthwaite and O’Brien bailed him out. It’s not like him but he didn’t quite seem on it.

Think the better we get as a team the less happy I am with him in the starting XI. Never feel comfortable with him doing much more than defend the 18 yard box.

 

[DanEFC92]

He winds me up. Bog standard.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Though he was being held down for the goal. Great servant. Maybe next season will be his last for us but he’s still got another year in him I think.

 

[chopper6]

His best days are behind him now sadly.

Should not be a starter next season, but probably still will be…

He's been on it about 4 times this season

It absolutely is. Has his highlight reel moments but is very often seemingly caught in two minds but gets away with it a lot.

Perhaps I'm being overly critical, however I think he is partly at fault for their winner. It was a great corner to be fair, swung in, but what was he doing?

He was more interested in trying to back into and manhandle van Dijk than try to win the ball; he's back tracking, grappling and almost stooping down.

When he does try to jump to head, he can't and the rest is history. That's not indecisive, but I do think he's making more and more questionable decisions.

 

[DanEFC92]

If he's our starting CB next season something has gone wrong.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Coward today

Get a right back, move JOB centre back and he can ride the bench till he grows a pair

Shouldn't be a starter this season

He's a loser. Gets a chub on from
fighting with opposition players rather than doing his job. Next season should be branthwaite and O'Brien/another cb at centre back.

Senesi and O'Brien please. If he can't get a freebie from Bournemouth and instead lose out to Spurs something is badly wrong.

If Stones is indeed coming, get this over the hill chump gone.
