Re: Jake O'Brien
Caused us a few problems first half being nowhere near Tarks which they exploited. He's fine as a backup RB but I won't have any disappointment at JOB missing out if we signed a proper RB tbh.

Oh, good lad though, lot of players wouldn’t have played just hours after the birth but he knew how in the shit we were.
Re: Jake O'Brien
Feel likes he's been found out a bit as an RB. Initially his height and power seems to give him a bit of an edge there but that all seems to have disappeared and teams know how to nullify him.
Spends most of his time now passing backwards or if he does get a cross in it's pretty aimless and ineffective.
Wouldn't be against trying Patterson again as an ineffective full back on both sides just means teams double up easily on our best attacking players.

Agree on the first half but can't get on board with Patterson. He looked absolutely terrible in pre-season to the extent I think it's time to call it on him.AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 24, 2025 11:48 am Feel likes he's been found out a bit as an RB.

Re: Jake O'Brien
Jake should have either been rested or played in the centre last night he did ok doesn’t have the pace or crossing ability to play the position properly can’t believe our tallest player is taking long throws
