2024/25 Jake O'Brien

[Tony’s Carp]

Started 6 games for us: 5 wins and a draw.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

He's got presence.

 

[Runub]

At least Dyche kept him fresh for the run in

 

[EFCPaul]

Got treated like a bad smell by Dyche when he clearly is more than just a lump. To think he was missing out on game time so Keane could play, Jesus wept. Moyes will likely mould him into a very handy centre-half.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Just another reason why Dyche is an utter embarrassment.

It does make you wonder what O'Brien did in practice to get completely buried by Dyche so he could play Ashley Young instead.

 

[Bluerover]

Absolutely incredible that he was benched. He will be a legend for this Club and for Ireland

Nothing, just a combo of the manager putting self interest over the good of the team and playing his old friend Ashley, and if you believe it a refusal to entertain giving Jake a shot as he never agreed to the signing in the first place and wanted to show everybody that he's the boss.

There's a chance that for some inexplicable reason he wasn't trying in training.

I think I'll go with the far, far likelier scenario that Dyche was horribly stubborn and just decided he couldn't lace Ashley Youngs boots without much evidence.

 

[Gilbert..]

I suppose we should thank Dyche for getting him "Pl ready"

All very strange. Up until Moyes came he'd played 26 minutes under dyche in the league.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

The biggest inDychement for Dyche. This lone decision not to play him probably cost us quite a few points. Grrrrrr

 

[larbert toffee]

Of course not. We have a back four sorted out now, why would we let a no mark like him in to ruin it?

Oh yeah he's a no mark.
*makes note for future reference............

 

[Tel001]

Reports by whom? Mr Magoo?

Your hero Dyche didn’t seem to rate him and preferred playing a rb that I’m pretty sure served in the Second World War

Not prem level according to Sean

I don't his performance in practice was really factored in by dyche. As dyche was predisposed to select his favorites like Keane and be weary of players without premier league experiences
