Think Branthwaite helps his game, especially being left footed.

He's crap. Sooner he's gone the better.

Yeah he's been shite. Are we not forming opinions on how we've played this season yet? You not made a judgement on the managers performance so far this season or the team as a whole

It’s almost as if we’re surprised we’ve got pretty shit players whilst being a bottom 3 club 🤷‍♂️

He was very good last season.

He’s struggling with the injury and the mess around him.

Not shit, just a sold enough defender.

He's not amazing. He's a solid midtable defensive fullback, but he's the only one of that standard that we have.

Not investing in fullbacks and a centre back that's ready to play, even a loan to cover for when JOB and Branthwaite are ready, has made survival much harder than it should have been.

Coleman and Young should have retired or dropped down the leagues. Patterson injured a lot, Dixon not ready, no other left-footed left back. And Keane marshaling the backline.

Is a decent squad fullback and was bought as a punt but we want a higher level fullback than this.

If we had a strong right back - we wouldn’t even really be talking about him.

He's fucking crap. I was as relieved as anyone when he was able to block a few crosses last year, but he's crap. What kind of team has full backs who have no idea what to do beyond the half way line?

A bad CB who plays at LB. A disgrace to our tradition in that position.

Been spoilt with Baines and Digne. Most clubs don't have that level in their recent history.

Myko's not the first area of concern by any means.

Could have, should have gotten Chilwell on loan. Chelsea were desperate

Feel like he's gone backwards again, lack of technical ability seems to becoming more and more obvious. There was a spell last season where he seemed to be developing his game in an attacking sense, but seems to have reverted to type.

I like the lad but you need to be more than just a decent defender to be a PL fullback these days.

He’s no Baines or Digne but is capable of more, the cross yesterday for example. Needs to do it more often though

Still one of the best one v one defenders in the league, but unless we go to a back 3 with him as LCB I really really want him replaced at some point. I like him but again he's another player who is soooo limited that you can only use him in a certain way for it to be vaguely effective.

0 assists in 82 Premier League appearances for us.

To put that into context, Ashley Young has 3 this season.
