No, it’s just the reality, it’s ridiculous the level of belief that were it not for Branthwaites injuries we’d be flying up the league table, we need to get used to him not being availlable.

Re: Michael Keane
Keane and the other chuckle brother sat on Pickfords lap every time the opposition get near the box can do one.

I think there was a lot of hope we'd both sign a right back and see branthwaite play way more, and the Keane would be the emergency option.Audrey Horne wrote: Sun May 10, 2026 7:43 pm Love how so many people said Keane would never play this season also ...![]()
Who knew that we'd go another two transfer windows without signing a rightback.

1. He’s a good lad and a good pro, huge plus points for Moyes.
2. We haven’t signed a decent right-back for 20 years (Oviedo was alright)
3. Branthwaite is made of glass.
4. Moyes loves playing a young cb (JOB) at fb.

Re: Michael Keane
To be fair I think Moyes proved he wants to play Branthwaite but the lad appears fucked. Don't know whether he rates O Brien enough and that's my concern for next season. If he sees him as a utility player we'll see Keane and Tarkowski for 30 games

Re: Michael Keane
I reckon OBrien is now primed for CB just as Lescott was. He'll replace Tarks and Branthwaite will replace Keane.
As soon as Moyes/ the new transfer committee get an ideal RB identified that they're happy with...

Re: Michael Keane
Should be a backup centre back but it all depends on if Branthwaite is fit.
If Coleman signs another one year contract then that tells me O’Brien will likely be our right back again next season.
