Dont see how he can be labelled uncultured when he directed Mirror, Stalker and Solaris.

I think to our fanbase half our players represent our decline and half represent where we should be and its not particularly based on what they've done here. Tarkowski will always be talked down because he came from Burnley
I don't think it's disloyal to question him for that action. It's one where he's needlessly putting himself in danger to be sent off, same as other dumb red cards that we've seen in the past like Richarlison's "headbutt".

You can differentiate between something like that and the player himself, who has been largely great for us. Much like Richarlison was too. Good players can do dumb things...see Gueye the other week.

I always bang on about it but with Coleman out of the side he’s the only talker and organiser in the backline and we always look worse without him in there.

Branthwaite/O’brien sounds great on paper, two massive but really fast lads who are good ball players (by CB standards) but it would take a good season of that partnership before they clicked as neither one of them take charge.

When Tarks does drop out the side we need to replace him with another leader in there IMO - sadly probably with the money we get when Branthwaite moves on

I agree. Its like we have to find something to moan about. Best position we've been for ages, yet we are pulling down a player that has been very steady for us.
I don’t think you should have one*, James, considering what’s happened
