Jarrad Branthwaite
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Yeah, wrap him in cotton wool and slowly build him back up to full match fitness, we don't need to be risking him at this stage of the season. Hopefully he goes the rest of the season without any issues and providing he's still here which I think he will be, get him a full pre season and see how he goes from there. He's missed over 80 games for us now so injuries are an concern and he needs treated as such.

Throw back to Ancelotti playing Holgate Keane Mina and Godfrey as a back 4Gash wrote: ↑Tue Jan 27, 2026 10:10 am I was just thinking this earlier, I can see Moyes trying to crowbar in Keane, Branthwaite, Tarkowski and O'Brien. I don't think he'll go the extreme of all four starting but I can see O'Brien being punted to RB with Branthwaite and Tarkowski in the middle and Keane on the bench, or Keane starting and Branthwaite coming on after an hour or so, I don't think he'll be fit to play 90 and I couldn't handle the stress of him getting injured again.
Guess if he did that he would play Branthwaite at left back, would still actually improve that left hand side
But he’s the best centre back we’ve got, surely he’s got to play at centre back as first choice
