One quarter as a midfielder doesn't cut it for me. Especially when the opportunity opened up for him after the Brayshaw incident.
We couldn't throw Rivers into the midfield role because he was playing a complete lock down role. This is why I'm still annoyed we didn't play the extra tall defender because then it created more pressure on the likes of Rivers who at one stage was locking down on McStay.
If Brayshaw is going to miss some significant time or retire then once again it exposes us greatly. Can't just pretend we can rely on Petracca Oliver and Viney moving forward all the time.
Someone eventually has to step up if that's Rivers and Bowey then the coaching staff to do transition them both into more midfield craft over the preseason.
Even now the thought of Jordon now replacing Brayshaw is making me scared.
