2025/26 Jarrad Branthwaite

[maccavennie]

Great to have him back for 45 minutes.

 

[the golden visionary]

Love it how he refuses to pass to mykolenko

 

[pfim]

Only downside is that he can only play one of the four defensive positions.

 

[steven]

Has to start now - miles away our best defender.

 

[lieneverton]

The difference he makes is blindingly obvious. So pleased he's back.

 

[steve]

Fantastic

 

[mccole]

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

So good to have him back

 

[MikeH72]

Makes a huge difference, calms the whole team down, he’s the real leader in that defence. We’ve missed him massively.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

His passing is so much better than the rest of our defence.

 

[Dan Tanner]

Rols Royce of a player, it's unbelievable how good he is...

If we could keep him and O'brien for three years we could build something special.

5 times the player John Stones was for us

 

[leslad]

So good to see him back. Easy to forget how composed and good he is on the ball.

 

[jonnyg]

Now straight into the oxygen chamber until next match please.

 

[Saint Domingo]

OBrien and Branthwaite next week please.

 

[dannyboy]

Makes us so much more composed. I always worry about players picking up more injuries after long absences, but he needs to play as much as possible as soon as possible for the sake of the team.
