2025/26 James Tarkowski

My point is you fully grown men need to stop calling people 'haters' for suggesting a player isn't good enough. You're like flies on sh*t looking to moan and be offended by anything.

O'Brien Keane Branthwaite Mykolenko
I havent said that, i was just asking a question. You'd start Keane over Tarks then. Honestly not much between them and next season I would much rather us by a class right back and get OBrien in.

Apologies I thought you were the other fella..

In an ideal world that back 4 would only be till next season when we'd have 2 new fullbacks in.

O'Brien and Branthwaite in the centre is the way forward.
 
Who scored give him an average rating of 7.13 from his 33 appearances (all competitions) this season. That’s pretty decent/good.

He’s listed as “strong” for aerial duels, tackling, blocking and interceptions. They do list his passing as “very weak” though.

Long term I think we’d all like to see Branthwaite and O’Brien be given a run. Maybe we’ll get that next season when we sign a right back Moyes wants to play.
 
I’d have Tarkowski ahead of Keane purely for his leadership alone.

It’s probably why he’s pretty much undroppable atm.
Keane has proved that when he plays regularly he makes more mistakes. This season has been his best since the Covid season, but before this season he was mostly crap to the point where we conceded 2+ goals in most games he played. To have him as a starter would be like giving the opposition a head start.
 
Another one.

Long night because I think our centre back isn't good enough?

And you think I'm the one out of touch here
Just seemed a pretty jumpy post this early..

Is Tarks our future, no. but he's certainly played a good part in us still being in this league, and being able to talk about Europe..

Proactive management. He’s multiple years past where he should have been moved on from as far as being a regular starter goes. He’s cost us a ton of points this season.
