2024/25 Jake O'Brien

[HalfTimeSayers]

I guess realistically he was never going to be terrible, but he’s mobile enough given his size and surprisingly considered with the ball. Best thing is he fits in perfectly with how JB and Tarky defend. He is going to be a key player for club and country.

Dyche didn’t fancy him. Good judge is Dyche

So often managers play to their comfort as opposed to their personnel. I could see us having a decent record if Dyche had actually had the balls to go with a different formation to suit his players.

Not Premier League ready apparently.



Good job we pay these managers for their highly specialised footballing knowledge isn’t it.

 

[Moomin]

Another decent performance.

He can play in space he can play back to the wall, very similar player to Branthwaite actually, we keep them together then that's one hell of a strong centre back pairing we have there which is only going to get better with experience

 

[pfim]

Thought he started slow but grew into the match. If we’re not going to attack it’s helpful to have a massive right back

 

[heatmeiser]

Think you're stream didn't show him getting booked during that scuffle mate, let's say he didn't shy away from it

Haha I didn't see the booking but I saw him getting stuck in. Love it

 

[bluestevon]

That tackle near the end - it's the type of thing that had us wetting ourselves about Jarrod last season, had to time that absolutely perfect and he did

 

[mahermi1]

Looks surprisingly comfortable on the ball for his size.

Unfortunately for Dyche,,I am not sure it was about balls but complete incompetence.

 

[lieneverton]

Playing like a guy who has inexplicably not been given a chance by the manager who bought him. Hope he continues with that fire.

Did well today after a shaky start.

Little column A a little column B

 

[blulouie]

Some on here saying this lad was a waste of money & not long ago too.

You know who you are.

The only thing stopped this lad was Dyche.

Top Top signing is Jake O'brien.

 

[Zatara]

Thought we must have made an error signing him.

Thought he may even be sold in this window.

He looks like he may be able to reach peak Branthwaite level.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

That’s 2 good showings.
Amazing how he was left out of the team for so long.

Well amazing to us. To clown head dyche it's still confusing.
