Pre-season (Match Threads Here)
Re: Pre-season (Match Threads Here)
Let’s park it and see on Saturday against Lille, doubt he’ll get more than 30 mins, this is a player who the staff are treating like he’s made of glass because they have very little faith in him staying fit.

Re: Pre-season (Match Threads Here)
Wasn’t he injured last game? Might just be that.
Or he might be off.
Re: Pre-season (Match Threads Here)
Well I think it'd be very weird if he's crocked and we say he's playing the next match, and this was planned.
They aren't going to lie like that as it'd not only make them look stupid, but untrustworthy too.
Now could he have a minor knock? Possibly, he did get a kick on the knee in the last match, but even then it'd have to be extremely innocuous for them to state he'll be available the next one.

Rare run out for the Keane Tarkowski centre back partnership
My only concern is that they might feel a bit all over the place with Patterson at right back. I’d be tempted to try Jake O’Brien at right back you know
Not sure if we tried an O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko back 4 at all last season?but on paper that’s rock solid

Put O´Brien at the right back and you have Moyes´backfour for the opener against Palace. If they concede a lot of goals its Diblings fault anyway.Sir Stealth wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2026 4:04 pm Rare run out for the Keane Tarkowski centre back partnership
