Right into my trap, in what, 20 minutes ?
Got the winner today for Millwall against table toppers Leeds: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41209770. That's his second of the season, which is *whispers* the same number as Sean Maguire.
But could he do it on a wet Tuesday night in Turner's Cross?
Not sure about a wet Tuesday night in Turner's Cross - would a cold Tuesday in November at The Showgrounds count? http://www.uefa.com/under21/season=2015/matches/round=2000412/match=2011495/index.htmlQuote:

Goal here on 1:22
From the highlights, it looks like Millwall were all over Leeds
Was thinking the same. I have no idea if one is notably better than the other.Quote:

Must have been close to offside unless some player not in picture played him onside .Quote:

Its great to hear a manager say that he wants to have his players playing international football .Quote:

He is a striker, but they're playing him out wide at the moment.
Whether he's a winger or a striker (not sure what his birth-cert says) I would say that he'd be picked for a senior squad as a player in the position in which he has merited the call-up.Quote:

That's what I'd have thought as he talks about his "whole" family supporting Ireland over England. He also mentioned about his dad getting the call (from the FAI) when O'Brien was younger and there being "no decision to be made", so I'd get the impression from that that his dad was fully supportive of him going with Ireland.Quote:

FA cup form is carrying into the league. O'Brien has Millwall 1-0 at home to Preston.
Daryl Horgan was back on the bench for Preston. Cunningham and Browne both started. O'Connor and Boyle are on the bench with Horgan.
Has opened the scoring today. Fourth goal in 4 games.
Scored tonight v Plymouth, as did Williams. O'Brien has been involved a fair bit so far in the league too this season so far.

Scored today for Sunderland
A bit of a surprise? Former Millwall player O'Brien has moved from Sunderland to Portsmouth on a free transfer (BBC Football). Of course it's colder in the north-east, where he scored 12 goals in 66 appearances.
I was surprised Sunderland didn’t use him much.
He was decent in Championship for Milwall and didn’t get much of a run of games with Sunderland.
Often sprung from bench it seems
O'Brien seems to have been desperate to get away from Sunderland and Lee Johnson -- in January he took a 3 month contract at Portsmouth. After O'Brien scored 4 goals in 10 appearances for Pompey, manager Danny Cowley wants to extend that contract. (The News, Portsmouth, 7 April).
O'Brien signed for Shrewsbury last summer, but has struggled with a groin injury and has yet to start a game for them; he has made five appearances from the bench, but is currently not fit enough for Steve Cotterill to put him in the squad. (Shropshire Star, 26 December, Sunderland Echo, 7 January)
Has dropped further down the football pyramid with a loan switch to Sutton of League Two.
