Should be understudy of AWB going into next season and send Brandon on loan
I’d honestly rather he just goes on loan to a Championship side next season. Players of his talent level need consistent game time, and I think he’d do better with a full season under his belt at another level up from League one to then challenge AWB in 2022/23.
Someone made a good Reece James comparison who went to Wigan, played 45 odd matches, won their POTY, and then came back and hit the ground running at Chelsea.
I’d love to see Laird do something similar.

On the minutes point: Brandon Williams is basically 2nd choice RB/third choice LB at the moment here and he’s only had 366 minutes this season. Tuanzebe is sort of 4th choice CB/3rd choice RB and he has about 510 minutes.
Laird (obviously much lower level) only joined in January and already has around 700~ minutes of senior football played.
