2025/26 Jarrad Branthwaite

Don’t even think about moving him out of that position again please. Don’t care how “good” Keane has been by his incredibly low standards, even at his absolute pinnacle of performance he’s not even half the footballer Branthwaite is.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

In a 3 he'd surely still be the left sided centre half?

Exactly...s'why I keep pushing the notion of a 3.

Rolls Royce player. Let's just play him centre back for the rest of the season please.

….you can’t keep real top quality out of the side, hopefully that hamstring has been very well managed (thanks mainly to Keane giving us the space to get him right).

Yep. I've got no real beef with Keane and there's an argument that he could start instead of Tarkowski. Either way Branthwaite needs to start at CB.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Great header by the way.

 

[Neiler]

Just Class.

Makes us better.

Hopefully his injury problems are behind him now, he makes such a big difference to our defence when he is fit and firing. I thought he was absolutely outstanding today.

Did anyone else notice how quietly efficient Tarkowski went about his business today with Branthwaite alongside him.

Tarkowski and Keane both need a speedy partner, when Tarkowski and Keane play as a pair, their lack of pace brings in an element of panic.

I dont think you can underestimate the importance of recovery pace in a cb partnership

The Branthwaite & Mykolenko axis

 

[chrismpw]

Is Branrhwaite likely to be the new Ratcliffe? Is that what we're seeing?

(Yadda daddy no, he's the next Branthwaite etc ... you know what I mean).

 

[KevMirallas]

He fixes everything when he's back in at that position. Settles Mykolenko, complements Tarkowski, kick-starts the midfield. As long as his body doesn't betray him over the long-term he's going to have an incredible career.
