Remember when we went through that terrible period of looking more like we were going to somehow concede a goal than score one when we got an attacking corner?superpull wrote: It's what you want to see as an opposition striker though.
Just the colossuses of Gana and Myko in our own half yeah?

Well, i do now, i had scrubbed it from my mind. The end of the Martinez era?
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
There was a period under Martinez that winning or conceding a corner meant i was nervous we were going to give away a goal. (also: going 2-0 up)

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Just to clear things up.
- We have no RB which means Jake O'Brien will likely start the season there. And no, I'm not counting Coleman or Patterson.
- We have Tarkowski who is 32 and ended the season suffering the first hamstring injury of his career.
- We have Branthwaite whose only real pre-season build-up, if he's fit, will be the Roma game.
But luckily we have Michael "He'll never play!" Keane in reserve. Would expect him to get a lot of game time in the first few months of the season.

Well it's luckier than having no one to play there
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Famously our options were Michael Keane or nobody (And I'm not sure it is luckier, I'd rather see Beto there than Michael Keane)
