Branthwaite return may help Everton 'emerge from the gloom'
Speaking of reliance, the weekend was capped off by the return of Jarrad Branthwaite for the under-21s. A welcome sight for all Evertonians given our defensive frailties this season. There is an expectation that all our problems will be solved once he returns to first team action. Clearly, that is fantasy thinking, but it is not without its merit.
