Re: Jake O'Brien
Yeah he just looked comfortable and like me knew he was doing. Can't read to much in to just 1 performance, but it was encouraging.
Reckon he'll be back out to RB next game if Keane is fit though, with Garner replacing Tim in midfield

Re: Jake O'Brien
Thought he looked a beast back there tonight. Bullied their forwards and came out on top in everything.
Pace and physical presence. Please no more right back experiment.

Re: Jake O'Brien
Grealish, KDH and Alcaraz. Ball retention machines. Shift McNeil/Dibling out wide. Best option we've got. Although he'll probably just drop McNeil in there.Cozzie wrote: Wed Dec 03, 2025 1:46 pm Who comes into the middle though with Iroegbunam out suspended?

Dibling for me not McNeil, what’s the point in McNeil when Dibbo needs game time.Bumble wrote: Wed Dec 03, 2025 2:17 pm Grealish, KDH and Alcaraz. Ball retention machines. Shift McNeil/Dibling out wide. Best option we've got. Although he'll probably just drop McNeil in there.

Aye. He has great ball retention so he’s not a possession risk, let him play and grow into the team.Bluebridge wrote: Wed Dec 03, 2025 5:23 pm Dibling for me not McNeil, what’s the point in McNeil when Dibbo needs game time.

Re: Jake O'Brien
Garner is, for better or worse, the best right back we have at the moment. Leave him there, solid defensively and transforms us going forward. Jake is a centre-half, play him there.CorkyOnTour wrote: Wed Dec 03, 2025 9:45 pm Wonder if Coleman or Patto will be dropped into right back.

Re: Jake O'Brien
I think that midfield is even more of a disaster than JOB at RB tbh.Kerryblueboy wrote: Thu Dec 04, 2025 2:49 pm Just go with
Garner. Jake. Tark. Myko
Kdh. Charly
Jack
Ndayie Dibling/mcneil
Barry
KDH did well sitting deeper on Tuesday, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him or Alcaraz playing as the actual DM. It's horribly weak and positionally awful, and although I love Grealish he's not going to off the same protection KDH or Alcaraz do as the 10.

JOB should never play RB again.
