Bailey 4,988 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yes he is definitely right footed. This is another thing I like about Branthwaite as he looks to be comfortable on both feet. A number of times he took a touch with one foot and then passed with the other. You only have to look at the mess Keane almost got himself into by trying to flick the ball away with his right rather than clearing properly with his left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markjazzbassist 3,186 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 just watched some tape on him, he is right footed my bad. maybe my camera view but whenever he plays on the left it looks like he's always using his left foot. whereas when i see others there, they use their right. might just be camera angle.

Shukes 4,471 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 What is I pressing me, but at the same time is an area he needs to work on, is that he starts slow but tends to work players out and be comfortable. It’s a good skill to have, he just needs to work them out a little faster as this is the premier league, and quality players will make you pay if you don’t work them out fast. But to be picking on quality’s like that with a lad his age and experience, is a compliment. Sibdane, StevO, Bailey and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm very optimistic about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,300 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 He doesn't look too bad at all, but unfortunately he'll be lucky to get anywhere near a game this coming season. He's behind Holgate, Mina, Keane and we are looking to buy another. Maybe out on loan would be better for him to get game time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Zoo 2.0 1,003 Posted Monday at 16:13 Popular Post Report Share Posted Monday at 16:13 Won't be a popular post, but taking off the blue tinted glasses and it's a horrendous tackle. Why his leg was so high (rather than heading it) is beyond me, I don't know what Jarrad was expecting other than to give away a penalty which is what should have been given? According to the medical team, the stud was less than an inch from taking the lads eye out (it was a grotesque looking injury), Warnock has every right to be angry as any one of us would be had it happened to James, DCL, Charlie etc. How many people were (rightly) angry with Son after he broke Gomes' ankle for example? In short, can totally get why Warnock is angry. Branthwaite was naive to think that he could swing his leg that high in the box and get away with it, thank fuck he wasn't playing for us as with VAR that's a penalty and a red - not that there is any malice I'm sure, so the player himself should be advised what to do going forward rather than being crucified in the press and/or on the field after the game. Poor from the officials too you have to say, to miss that between them is astounding. Matt, pete0, Shukes and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post pete0 2,042 Posted Monday at 19:55 Popular Post Report Share Posted Monday at 19:55 Usually I'd kick off that the player was a shithouse going for the ball like that but he's not even aware their player is there. Just shear laziness. It's dangerous and he's scared someone's face for life. But think he'll feel like shit enough without their manager getting involved. Whole world put their arms round Son and his had intent and severer consequences. Braithwiate is a kid, they should be more understanding.
