2025/26 James Garner

I don't think he was ready when Moyes was at Man Utd as 11 years ago Garner would of been 13

I have checked on Google, think their timings aligned. If not, I’ve wasted a lot of time on that message for no reason

Yeah as a kid not as a first team squad member

Garner is a perfect case study for Moyes’ management style and his protective nature with younger players.

JG was at United when Moyes was manager but despite the teams troubles, he clearly didn’t think JG was ready.

11 years on, aged 24, Moyes clearly trusts JG and sees him as a key player.

If Moyes had played him for playing sake then who knows how that might have negatively impacted on him as a teenager.

The moral is that some players like Rooney come along rarely but mostly, you have to be doubly careful with teens in the hardest league globally. Moyesy clearly got it right with young Jimmy Gardener.

Garners quality has nothing to do with Moyes, he has always been a great player, a player who got stuck under a rigid dinosaur in Dyche, who strangled his game.

Moyes has now free'd him from that leash.

99% of people on here wrote him off and are just now jumping on the bandwagon.

The lad is quality, but always totally underestimated by far too much of our fanbase.

Needs signing up on his contract ASAP .....

Exceptional. Measured up against both Anderson and G-White. Note for partner in crime Tim Iroegbunam.

Don't often make rave reviews, but did tonight. deserves two MotM awards. Stunning.

Excellent performance from James "Rockford" Garner this evening. Hopefully the lad will sign a new contract, but I have a feeling he'll move on in the Summer.

If he signs a new deal he wont be going anywhere for the next 5+ seasons.

Absolutely no chance.

Tim should never be dropped on that showing ..... gives us a physical presence in midfield .....

He's growing, and has started to cut the maniac challenges out. Ref was on his side tonight. It's a tightrope for the physical game he has, especially with the diving and fake head injuries that is allowed to infect the game. Showed some bottle. Once I was banking on a booking, he's reducing that now. Also learning to start to pull FK's out of others. A realisation of sorts.

His strength set the first goal up .....
