That's disappointing Jake is so much better in the back then Keane

…..surely positive news, Keane has been fine and it frees up Garner to bolster the midfield.

Keane lacks the mobility of Jake which could be crucial since Dyche will try to hit us on the counter and although he has displayed significantly improved form this season , Keane still possesses the occasional Michael Keane classic blunder he's known for. Options are limited in the middle but I'd rather have Garner at right back. However we setup at this stage is moot I just want us to win.

It a blessing but O'Brien was outstanding at the back his natural position v Bournemouth - our squad is still to thin Fullbacks should have been a priority back in June .....
At least it keeps backfooted Dwight out as he should have been sold & replaced - oh he was in Dibling ?

He hasn't this season.

How often have you seen O'brien at CB ?

Moving our CM linchpin to RB

Building an unnecessary hole.

Having Garner and KDH in the middle give us a chance here, especially if the Keane news is true.

Keane played a role in several goals during the Newcastle match , he's incredibly limited, well I just watched jake last week where he nullified a typically rampant Bournemouth and he also makes tarkowski better because he's not sluggish like Keane. Also remember Jake had a run of games at cb during the end of last season. Keane is also still apparently wrestling with an injury so he's going to be even slower today

When he has played for his country always outstanding - plus we purchsed him as a CB - not a permanent right back - DM had from June onwards to find a right back .....

Yeah, i'm not questioning between keane/O'brien, I'm just saying it creates an unnecessary issue moving Garner out of CM.

Like you say, we don't know if is keane is even available..

With Dwhite Flag McNeil surrendering midfield? No thanks, we need Garner there.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Are people insane? I'm sorry Jake is so much better than Keane at cb

Jake is better but for this game he is better at RB.

It will give us a bit more balance.

How many ireland games have you watched ?

The other week everybody was craving for a Parrott'

Sure he played RB when Coleman wasn't playing, tho don't hold me to that.

He wont be permanent RB

Chill out Mate, your going to a posh Restaurant instead of watching anyway..

Okay that's a sensible take then I can understand that outlook

Difficult one this, I cat see the midfielders bailing us out again. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Beto as the Barry experiment is a big failure, and he’s also played a lot of minutes recently. There both awful so don’t expect goals from any of them.
