2025/26 Jake O'Brien

[Pabbers]

Every game he plays at centre back should make us want to keep him centre back….monster defender.

 

[EGWToffee]

Was solid wins everything in the box

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Brilliant as CB

 

[Mr Happy]

An absolute rock that the Forest attack kept throwing itself at all in vain. Totally owned that Jesus lad.

Nailed him on all crosses.

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Boss CB

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Perfect for a match against Dyches 'tactics'

 

[zook]

Superb in his best position yet again.

Having a centre back that can just routinely win them 50/50 balls over the top/down the line is massive - Keane and Tarkowski can often struggle when attackers test their pace in behind.

Looking forward to seeing Branthwaite and O’Brien as a partnership at the back, they’ve got all the tools to be a solid pairing.

He's our best orthodox CB including Branthwaite.

For me Branthwaite is a CB but he's not orthodox. He can conceivably step into CM imo. Much more of a hybrid player than JOB who DOES look like the archetypal CB.

Did the commentary say that Dyche played him right back? I felt sure it was Moyes as thought Jake was mostly on the Judi under SD?

Yes I thought they said that but my son thinks he was talking about Garner. I was saying "don't be giving that gravel throat scruff any credit" lol

Yea, I'm sure I heard that, was shouting at the tele

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Please buy a right back, this lad is a proper centre back

 

[18efc78]

Absolute colossus

 

[Vaughan]

Absolute colossus

this is what i was going to post

michael keane has had a good season but job needs to stay at centre half

for once can keane just stay injured for a bit (harsh but we need job at cb)

Commentary was useless - I was fuming when they said Barry hasn’t had many good days as he was coming off. Disrespectful and just looking at goal output for a young lad settling into an new league.
