Robbored Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 He was magnificent today and I sat there thinking just how good this lad is and how he compares to the likes of Barnard. Scott. Bailey and Bell and concluded that he's better than all of them. Only Barnard comes close. His skill and ability hasn't gone unnoticed but lets all hope that we can hold onto him.

TRL Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Scott was maybe better defender, but not a better all round player For me Brennan and Bryan are probably the best, unfortunately we only had Brennan briefly at his best before he was sold on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Honestly feel he could play in any team in the world bar the top 10 or so. Hope when he does eventually leave he chooses the right club. Better than Newcastle, West Brom and Brighton. He can play for a top 10 side imo. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Burnley come in for him. They have a history of buying from the championship and a left side of him and Brady would pose many problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 As you've mentioned, follows on the tradition of fantastic left backs with a surname beginning with B. For me, Mickey Bell was my personal fave. Bryan though will go on to play for England, so he must be the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Can he swing a cross in like bell could or put in a tackle like bailey probably not but all round yeah I would say he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Potentially yes. But I would say consistency is what would put Scott & Barnard just above him at the minute. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApplePress Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I thought he looked a little lost after Baker went off especially when QPR were crossing into the box, he let their player drift off the back. That might be due to Wright being in that CB role where he doesn’t have the height to take out the cross. Second half was much better and getting the goal certainly got him going again....I think Mags coming on gave Joe that freedom to play how he likes.

Gazred Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think Bell was better for Tins in font of him. Bryan has an all round game well suited to modern football. Best in my lifetime for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still dont think thats as such a certainty as many like to believe on here.. his next choice of club will be crucial as to weather or not he does it in the big league or not.. its still a big step up to that level and to consistently do it week in week out will be a task for Bryan imho. Still a great player for us though not knocking that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 What is it with our club and great left backs beginning with B?! Bailey, Brennan, Bromage, Barnard, Bell, Bryan....looks like we’ll be converting Baker or Brownhill to go back there next, or perhaps we’ll be swapping our Joe for Leighton Baines...?!

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Defensively not yet, but he might get there. For me Drysdale would get the nod defensively, Bell as a crosser if the ball, but Joe gets the nod as an attacking threat. Cooper probably won the most free kicks by using his nous and experience to run into the back of wingers Thresher, as someone mentioned may have been the best but I don’t remember seeing him. Apparently he once marked the legendary Stanley Matthews out of the game. Mike Summerbee named him as the hardest player he ever faced. He remarked that while playing for Swindon, Thresher had sent him to the stands 3 times in the first 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
