2025/26 Jarrad Branthwaite

[blulouie]

Our Rolls Royce looks like a fish up a tree here.
What a waste.

Moyes needs to get him at centre half as quickly as possible. Don't care who feels hard done by to be benched. What we don't want is a few weeks of Braithwaite playing at left back to get all of them in the team. Bad enough we've had a season of O'Brien on the other side.

Would've been better off with Keane and Tarkowski as the full backs. Jake and Jarrod are the best centre backs at the club.

 

[blulouie]

Totally wasted at full back.

Stating DMs tactical nous make it laughable .....

 

[Frenk]

He was baffled by Moyes team selection too apparently.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Jarad left back and Jake right back is a Moyes dream.

You just had to give him the idea didn't you

After the Leeds game & Keane being available I stated I bet DM plays 4 Cbs as a then tongue in cheek post - unbelievable when I seen his team selection ..... & Jarrad looked to be limping when coming off too.....

…..thought he took up some terrific positions in the box in open play. 2nd half we hit the bye line on the right and the ball was pulled back but Branthwaite was at the far post from LB. Had the cross been stood up, he’d have scored.

I agree.

I thought he was a lot better than Mykolenko at left back, and a bit Lescotty. He made some really good defensive back post headers too. I thought he was honestly fine

I noticed in the second half he made a clearance and was holding his side just above his hip/lower back (RHS I think) and looked uncomfortable a few times afterwards.

Saw that,Moyes expecting him to bomb up and down the line after such a bad injury was baffling.

Yeah, when he got up after his yellow, you saw a bit of discomfort in his face..

hopefully a couple days rest away from our physio/medic team and he'll be grand for next week

So would I have been if I'd have been out injured with a nasty hamstring injury after surgery starting as a fullback in cold weather up against a winger, accident waiting to happen, do hope he came through it okay, but please play him centre half where he belongs to play.
