2025/26 James Garner



Used to believe he was a bit of a nothing player, obviously I have been proved wrong but I think it also highlights how players can excel in different set ups and under different managers styles etc.

It's pretty clear a lot of our squad didn't have a scooby under Dyche etc as to what to do with the ball in possession.
I am not having a go at you because you at least have put your hand up and said you underrated JG.

However, I think this highlights why using GOT as a barometer of a players ability is a mistake.

Garner has done well since he arrived but has been asked to play in so many positions and asked to play different roles for the team by different

In general I think hand generally don't fully understand what a player is asked to do from game to game.

I certainly include myself in that.
 
I believe some us have some learnings in the vaults. It’s important you heal before lavish praise on a good young player you wanted out.

….seems strange there’s been no reporting on this, so always the possibility he doesn’t sign one or has made it known he’s running his current deal down. He’s in a great position if that’s his stance.
I hope thats not the case.
