2024/25 Jake O'Brien

[davek]

O Brien will be a very good player for us but he needs a little time to settle.

If he played in the league and made mistakes he would be slaughtered on here whereas by letting him settle slowly into the team he will get to start when he is ready.

This 100%.

He looks promising, but Branthwaite-Tarkowski is the starting pair.

He'll get his chance though due to injury and suspensions. That's a better time to bring him. We cant make him a starter too soon with fans grumbling why he's getting played over better CBs...although if Branthwaite leaves this window he'll have to be a starter.

Overall, he looks like an aggressive lad and has pace to get himself out of trouble.

What relevance is that? Those deals were done 4 years ago at least.

just saying picking players on what we paid or are paying them is irrelevant, pick the best players even if they were free and on 1k p/w

 

[Groucho]

Helped Keane get a clean sheet so he’s clearly Balloon The Door material.

Did he play on the left? I only got to watch highlights as I was at work.

Yes
I think that was significant
I hope its tarky and him in JB's position saturday

Dyche signed him

More a Thelwell signing. You may of heard about him...DOF.

 

[mahermi1]

That was one of Keanes better games and there was still enough time for him to look a complete liability when he got himself turned inside out just before we grabbed our 2nd goal.

Once you've got Keane back peddling his body position suddenly becomes so erratic.

Home game against Bournemouth, perfect opportunity to put Keane back on the bench and let Tarkowski marshall O'Brien

Just like Tarkowski marshalled Branthwaite and look at him now, it appears some posters live in the past, not you Macca..

What did we sign him for?

 

[judge]

One of our best players today

 

[Brad.st]

Like last season...Keane might have finally played his way out the team to make way for who should be playing

 

[ToffeeTim]

Why was he signed to not play in obvious times for a defensive change

 

[banno]

Just play him. What is worse that can happen. We might concede 3 then 4 then 3 again but I am sure he will learn from that.

Should not have even been played in to play himself out, everyone knew this but the idiot in charge

 

[MACCA75]

Used up half the budget on a guy that Dyche rates as 4th choice CB. And people are giving the transfer window a 8/10?

I give it 4. He failed to get a pacey winger, a RB and a LB
