2025/26 James Garner

[Eggs]

He's taking more responsibility. Taking the ball under pressure, turning, passing forward more. Driving forward. And he has the pace to recover and make tackles. Having KDH and Grealish takes the pressure off him a lot in possession.

….one of the things I always praised him for was being brave in possession, believing in his own ability. He’s always had that trait with us, even when we were struggling.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Talking with the kids earlier and how we need a right back, then aim for JOB and Branthwaite as the CB pairing. Kids wondered who becomes captain and Garner was my first thought. Grown a lot since he first got here. Hopefully gives Kanchelskis a challenge in our best signing from Utd in the long run.

Was class again today, I thought he was a weak link last season and I was hoping he’d hardly feature this season. Shows how much I know about footy as he’s been excellent all season.

Tie him down to a new deal as fast a possible, please.

 

[Swartzy]

Having his best season by a long way. Seems to have much more belief in himself.

Its not so much having more belief, it's removing Dyche from your shoulders.
