Made some good runs into the box Im afraid it was others delivering return balls not on the same wave length as Brays who were left wanting.

The mess of course is the high cost of a player not featuring on the managers plans. Not Brayfords attitude. Which Wilder has praised earlier.

Agreed, but the whole situation seems strange.

Yes, he's likely to be the highest wage earner, but are they actually that high? I mean, he seems the type of player who would fit into our system (both as a RWB or RCB), who is probably better at LWB than our current cover. If he wants to play for us, it seems strange to just leave him be until his contract runs out. We're unlikely to get a fee for him. Sure, it may cost us £750k/£1 million in wages, but the replacement is going to cost us more.

He'd pretty much solve our CB problem and also add extra cover
 
Based on available information there is little logic as to why Brayford should not be in contention for a shirt. Can only assume that information behind the scenes that we are not privy to has some bearings on the matter. So in Wilder we trust an accept it is what it is.
 
Brayford last night was one of a few different quality level players to the rest. He along with Lafferty and otzhumer and Evans when he came on were the real stand out players. His ball thru to Lafferty to square across the box was our only bit of quality in that first half. Very few fullbacks can make that pass! brayfords problem is his wages 15k a week for a 3rd choice fullback makes no sense and wilder cannot come out and say that but anyone with an ounce of sense can see unless he is happy to be 3rd choice centre back which he wont. And again he is to expensive not to play him as a starter therefore he has no future here and that hurts me to say because he is a good player but bash freeman and baldock are also good players who are younger cheaper and fit the teams style better. So we have to let him go. But who will take him on 15k a week with his injury issues maybe the pigs will swap him for lucas Jao!
 
Thought Brayford was very decent yesterday in what was, in effect, a friendly. No problem with attitude at all, as I saw it.

Very difficult, if not impossible, to see any way back in for him past Wilder buys or those who've become Wilder favourites. But no evidence of any sulking at all.

FLN is clearly just trying to play it smart, but wonder if Brayford's much more likely to be a pawn in a Lenihan (or some other) deal?
 
I wasn't really watching the game but in the last 15 minutes therevwas a moment of real quality from brayford where he chipped the ball with backspin over the on rushing defenders outstretched leg just inside the byline and ran on to it controlling it beautifully on the bounce and charging forward into space

Was a real premiership class bit of footy the kind you pay to watch I can't even remember what happened after that and I don't care

If Brayford wants to feature this season, could he offer to take a big wage cut?
 

Brayford has become a real dilemma for Wilder,one that was temporarily to bed last season and has now resufaced at an awkward time.He is under pressure to conclude this before the end of August as by January he will have little or no value,however,he can't appear too eager to unload him either.There is no reason why Brayford should move on unless his personal terms are acceptable,why should he,and who other than Clough would be prepared to match them.The main problem is that he will never be a 'real' Wilder player and until he leaves it will only make our persuit of new targets more difficult,in short it's a bloody nightmare !!

Or we utilize Brayford, if no one wants to pay for him.

That sounds a touch hysterical - he's a player who can be used if we need him, otherwise he plays for whatever the reserve team is called these days.
His wages aren't really an issue, especially as we're supposedly still looking for more players - we certainly aren't broke!
Relax and have a nice cup of tea :)
 
They were still on the transfer list at this point though, were they not??

Suppose Stearman is out on Saturday and we bring nobody else in.

It would be a show of Clough-esque stubbornness not to at least consider him in the squad.

We csn recert to Wright in the middle but given Freeman has struggled lately and Baldock is not fit, having a player comfortable at right back and on the right of three centre backs would not be the worst addition to the team nevermind squad.

For the record, as much as I successfully predicted we'd lose 2-0 yesterday, I think we'll win on Saturday but accross the season it's the type of game we can't afford to drop points in.

Brayford played in the cup game so he's hardly being frozen out Cloughie style, I just can't imagine Wilder behaving like that and I'm sure Brayford'll get a chance if they think he can add summat.
 
If stearman is out for a while brayford may well get bumped to the bench for the weekend
 

Wilder isn't a bell end like Clough.

He's not gonna cut his nose off to spite his face - so we end up with the likes of Collins and maghey in the squad but frozen out while we field 4 shite fullbacks in defence.

Stearman I guess is out, so bRayford will be in the squad I guess. It's up to him to play himself into contention imo.
