Disclaimer () Sam Hoare 1 Posted 13/08/2025 at 16:48:36 Hamstring injury for Branthwaite apparently. Darn it! Liam Mogan 2 Posted 13/08/2025 at 16:58:44 Branthwaite picks up a lot of strain type injuries. Christy Ring 3 Posted 13/08/2025 at 17:12:24 Sam,Where have you heard about Branthwaite injury, a huge set back, if true? Rob Halligan 4 Posted 13/08/2025 at 17:26:09 My ITK has not informed me of any injury to Branthwaite, and he’s normally quick on the ball about anything Jarrad. He will probably tell me in the next few minutes or so, now!! Ian Bennett 5 Posted 13/08/2025 at 17:29:43 It's on the Bobble on X. Don't know if its legitimate. Christy Ring 6 Posted 13/08/2025 at 17:31:11 Rob, Hope you hear nothing Rob, a good sign! Brian Wilkinson 7 Posted 13/08/2025 at 17:38:07 Bobble has tweeted hamstring injury for Branthwaite in training today, he is normally spot on. Christy Ring 8 Posted 13/08/2025 at 17:44:34 So if it’s true about Branthwaite, with O’Brien at fullback, Keane will start on Monday? Wasn’t he out for preseason with the same issue? Sam Hoare 9 Posted 13/08/2025 at 17:56:36 This is one of the many reasons why we needed to prioritise a RB, because ideally it would be our 3rd choice CB (O’Brien) playing with Tarkowski instead of our 4th choice but he’s needed at RB instead. Stuart Sharp 10 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:11:30 Exactly Sam. Our defensive options are worryingly limited. Mike Doyle 11 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:17:43 Rob. Hope you are crouched behind that bush in Calderstones Park waiting for ITK to appear with an update. Lee Courtliff 12 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:18:48 Patterson at RB???? Christy Ring 13 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:32:58 Lee, Patterson constantly injured, out again. Colin Glassar 14 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:33:52 Shit. Fuck. Crap. Bollocks. Merde. Mierda. Scheisse. Ostia. Joder. Jesus H. Sodding hell. Bugger. FFS. Damn. Darn it, etc….. We are cursed!!!Lee, I’d rather get Hibbo back Jake FitzGerald 15 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:34:27 Good. Now they’ll have to get a proper RB in. Rob Halligan 16 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:37:31 Mike, my ITK lives in Cumbria so I doubt he will appear in Caldies. 😂😂😂 Mike Gaynes 17 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:49:48 With Myko out also, seems like Seamus starts in Week 1. Either LB or RB. Seamus/Tarks/Keane/Jake?Keane/Tarks/Jake/Seamus? Colin Glassar 18 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:53:18 Garner O’Brien Tarkowski Anzou(?). Jay Harris 19 Posted 13/08/2025 at 18:57:48 Jarred's injury record is starting to be worrying for such a young lad.This is devastating news especially with Myko out for 6 weeks. Brian Harrison 20 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:15:08 Hope if he has a hamstring injury its not to bad, and only out for weeks instead of months. Haven't heard anything about Mykolenko after coming off after a few minutes on Sat, lets hope he is ok and it was only a precaution. Should both be missing for the Leeds game then Seamus has to come in and play left back young Anzou isn't ready for the Premier league at the moment. Typical Everton we are all on a high after signing Grealish only to be kicked in the teeth by a possible injury to Branthwaite. Mark Murphy 21 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:22:26 I think I know Robs in the know and so unless the bobble is also from Cumbria I’m hoping this is bollocks. Colin Glassar 22 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:22:36 Rob 16, you have us all hanging on a thread waiting for your latest update. Rob Halligan 23 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:26:10 Colin, no doubt he will let me know, but as yet, no word from him. Clive Rogers 24 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:28:56 Moyes may go three at the back with Garner and either Anzou or McNeil as wingbacks and Keane coming in. Mick O'Malley 25 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:30:32 Maybe McNiel could play left back if needed, Jarred does seem to pick up his fair share of injuries, if this is true its typical something pisses on our chips just as things were looking up, we need to sign a right fullback ASAP Rob Halligan 26 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:32:26 This is no rumour…….Mansfield at home in the Carabao Cup Joe McMahon 27 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:33:06 The Everton curse, injuries to key players days away from season starting. Incredible isn't it. Jim Bennings 29 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:45:53 Starting to pick up a few niggly injuries now Jarrod which may need looking at, missed the start of last season and end and now misses the start of the new one. Dennis Stevens 30 Posted 13/08/2025 at 19:55:02 Aye, Rob. I don't think we've ever played them before, unless in a friendly.
