This season at full back will have done him the world of good, as it did with Lescott having a season at left back. Not been ideal seeing him struggle sometimes out wide but in the bigger picture as long as Moyes sees him as a first choice centre half next season it will have been worth it.
Mad that Dyche didn't see him as good enough to get anywhere near the first team.

Re: Jake O'Brien
Fully agree with this. If we didn’t have so much to play for over the next few games I would be expecting Moyes to start phasing him in and seeing how he does.Cods wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2026 7:19 am I think if we can, they'll go close to being the best CB partnership in the league.
Some of our rivals have one excellent CB and another who's some way off it.
In a few years this could be a dream partnership.
Fullbacks please?

I forgot that Dyche hardly played him.

That's the dream, but only works if we can keep Jarrod fit.Cods wrote: Sun Jun 07, 2026 1:09 am I just think if we can transition to Jake and Jarrod at CB, they'll be immense.
His record right now really isnt great.

Ugh, why?
Play him at his natural position, fuck your rapidly declining club captain.

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2026
Can only have fell out with Moyes, with him stating last week that JOB only wants to play centre half.

Re: Jake O'Brien
Should be setting him up to partner Branthwaite for the next 10 years, instead we get Tarkowski trying to head the ball backwards to Pickford from 30 yards.

Re: Jake O'Brien
Is Boyland a reliable source?
Feels like it could be people putting 2 + 2 together and coming out with clickbait.
I'm not sure we can afford to get rid of him unless we have other signings coming in. 3 CBs aren't enough.

Re: Jake O'Brien
Yeah awful decision if we are indeed selling him.
Would be interesting to see what we'd get for him though, got to be around the £30m mark surely?
With this and the Keane rumour it suggests we must be in for an RB who can play CB when need... Ben White maybe? Or possibly we've made some progress on the Chelsea player.
