2025/26 Jake O'Brien

O'Brien is a very good CB and he's going to get even better in the next few seasons.

On his RB abilities: something has happened this season and it's probably more down to what he's being told to do by the manager.

Last season he was much more adventurous and would be a lot more ahead of his wide man at times, and for sure he was a lot more of a threat in the opposition box than he has been this season. The only time you see him up the pitch now is to take long throws.

 

[Lanolin]

I really hope he excels over the next few games and nails down a spot at centre half.

Despite some strange comments from dubious accounts on here I think he's got away incredibly lightly this year having been absolutely atrocious in almost every game he's played, I honestly never want to see him play right back again so if he can show that he should be first choice at centre half that would be a massive bonus.

Crap at RB, madness anyone in the club thought it's a good idea to start the season with him and no one else fit/in the playing plans.

 

[Walken]

Looks a very good CB

 

[bebo86]

Good game

 

[StateSideToffee]

Excellent CB. Should be starting without question until Branthwaite returns.

 

[frank_da_tank]

Look alot more solid with him cb and patterson rb

 

[Marius57]

Has to stay at CB when Keane comes back. His pace allows us to step up. Tarks also looks better

 

[MikeH72]

Time to leave him at centre back.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Very good at centre back

Hopefully we don't see him at right back ever again

 

[Only-Blue-toffees]

CB is his only position. Impressive today shame about the goal but he defended superbly

 

[Nymzee]

Buy a damn right-back and save him please.

 

[leslad]

I thought he was wonderful tonight, zero mistakes and absolutely solid.

Clearly a centre half, what he's been doing at right back is anyone's guess

 

[Walken]

Superb yet again at CB, has that get you out of trouble pace and strength
