Dolman_Stand Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Given his form and relative youth will we ever see one of our own play for England? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortia Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 What a massive overreaction. He has probably been the best LB in the league this season, but to suggest Gareth Southgate would pick him ahead of Rose/Bertrand/Cresswell/Gibbs etc. is just silly in my opinion. EDIT: Something tells me he's eligible for Scotland too? Not sure where his allegiances lie (I'd assume England) but that's a far more realistic proposition.

Massive gulf in class. You can add Shaw to the list if you like, but sadly it looks like his career is completely stagnant at this point in time.

Bris Red Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Not even close. He's had a good start to the season at this level but the step up is a big one. Could he perform week in week out in the Prem or another top flight league in Europe? Jurys out for me. Top draw Championship player though.

He never asked if we thought he'd go to the World Cup next year! What you have to remember is that he's still young (hard to believe) and he will almost certainly play in the Prem. Once he's up there, it's not a stretch to think he could get a look in in a friendly at the very least in a few years. And from there, who knows?

Rossi the Robin Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 He makes the game look so easy at times in third gear Nicky Maynard looked like he could potentially but bad choices and injury messed it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Good grief there's some serious premature reactions on here! Yep it's going well, yep we are getting fantastic results at the moment....but it's October.....we ain't Swindon are we? Do we claim to have won things or achieved things before Xmas?! There are people on here claiming we will go up and our players will play for England....I love the 'cider effect' but come on, it's October....

Harry Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Bryan is having a better season and is improving. But whooaaah! Last season he was almost unanimously acknowledged to have had a pretty poor season. I personally thought he was one of the poorest players of the regular first team last season. He's improving this year but let's keep a perspective, blimey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i even jumped the gun calling him 'top draw at this level' It was only last season that in quite a few games he was very very poor and as harry said one of our worst first team players.

He's been out a long time and won't be the same level as before. Walker is not World class. He wasn't even the best right back at Tottenham. All is having a anonymous season so far. Kane I do agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he said about being a bit Scottish that he'd prefer to sit on the bench for 1 game for England than get 100 caps for Scotland.

As time and time again we were getting done down the flanks! The difference for me this season with Bryan is pure and simple, his confidence. He’s taking players on, winning his tackles, headers, not afraid to shoot etc. He’s a real intelligent lad, he’ll know he’s got a long way to go but he’s got all the right attributes to go a long way in football. I’m over the moon for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Quality act is our Jo. The most fascinating fact is that he is still improving. I have mentioned on here several times,, his reading of the game has improved massively. Sign of quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
