I know there are rumours about Ndiaye and probably will be those sniffing around Branthwaite, but I kinda feel at times that consistency is hampering both of them getting to another level.

For Branthwaite fitness is going to be a concern and will likely hinder any large bids until he’s proven he can stay fit for a longer period of time. Ndiaye purely on stats basis is probably a bit erratic too.

The concern would really be if we just get low ball offers for them rather than offers that represent what they’re worth to us.

Tell you what. Other sides knowing he can’t force his way past a donkey and a clogger is sure to drive his price up.

Great if it’s proactive, but I can’t see it. Probably reacting to feedback from the player.

It's a bit of a vicious circle with him, the good news we probably get to keep him for an other year as he's missed so many games clubs will probably want to see how he does if we can ever get 30+ games out of him but on the other hand if anyone wants to buy him we won't be able to command the kind of fee his talents deserve. Got a lot of Yerry Mina vibes about him, fantastic player but he's always going to miss 10 games a season.

I'd seen reports he'd picked up a knock that will have him targeting Brentford or Liverpool as a return. (That the upcoming break has lessened the impact).

Will see on the weekend how true it is. Hopefully it's just the above news mangled in the retelling/gossiping.

Absolutely gutted for him, thought he was excellent today but looks like yet another hamstring injury.

We won't see him again until next season I'd imagine, hopefully we can find a way to permanently fix the issue as he's such a talent but can't stay fit

He went down just before it, I just hope it was unrelated, if he was feeling a twing he should have gone off with his record.

Gutted for him, depending how bad it is we could be looking at another start to the season where he isn't available. I honestly don't know if the lad can have a proper career where it isn't always at the back of his mind whenever he breaks into a sprint.

Yeah was down earlier, may have twinged it , then completely pulled it with the sprint and challenge.

Didn't really need to try and get round the player and touch line , think he could have cleared it before but was on his right foot.

Gutted

Finished isn’t he.

Cant rely on him unfortunately.

Shame as he’s a brilliant player but we need to react and get a centre half in the summer.

Tarks and JOB next season, not sure we need to be spending on a CB in the summer tbh when we've a chance to use that money on full backs and a striker.

I think the following summer though if Branthwaite still hasn't shown he's over the injuries then we should look then.

Nah Tarks has another year in him, think he's struggled at times this season as he missed pre-season... With a good one behind him he'll be fine.

Ask yourself this question - would you rather a new CB over a new RB, LB or Striker?

If not then it's not a priority.

I'd rather support a different team tbh right now!
