Confirmed Signing Jake O'Brien

[dublinbluenose]

Dare I say it?... Better striker than Michael Keane.

Better striker than Will Keane

 

[NeilMorepies]

I hear his nickname in the locker room is Jake the Snake if you catch my drift

Because he is a member of the GOT WhatsApp Clique?

 

[Jokerdan]

So he’s big, he’s fast, he's young, he’s got good technique, he was very cheap… where’s the catch!?

He's going to Manure next season for...peanuts

...he hasn't got an exotic name ?

Seems a good buy really.

We genuinely don't know if he's a good defender yet, really

How did he look playing in defence?

How did he look playing in defence?

My stream was goosed all game, the only thing I saw him do was slot 1 in from 30 yards.

How did he look playing in defence?

Like a wannabe Michael Keane, mate.

As long as he's an upgrade on the comic duo Holgate & Keane - I'll be happy.

He looks like if the liver building suddenly grew an apetite for football, put on a blue shirt and started running around the city.

Will be a nightmare for strikers to play against.

How did he look playing in defence?

What i saw he cut out a couple of decent crosses but wasn't really tested other than that and obviously took his goal well. Good start to his career with us is about all you can say.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Was a very decent outing for Jake.

 

[T LEAFE]

How did he look playing in defence?

He can't head the ball as well as Per Koldrop or tackle as well as Mason Holgate but apart from that he's good

 

[bluestevon]

….did well striking that cleanly with the defender closing him down.

Most impressive thing was fir me how quick he turned after the back header and pivoted to catch it clean.

For a big bloke that's surprising agility there and bodes well for him v the nippy forwards

Very low bar, but hope he is.
