There is no way he is "streets ahead." Both are competent players who have proven up to the task every time they've played for us.

It's hard to argue that O'Dea has been anywhere near as good for Ireland as St Ledger. I know who's name I prefer to see on the teamsheet.Quote:

I'd like to see Ciaran Clark get a run out at centre back in a friendly as an alternative option if he manages to get a few more appearances in that position at Villa.
Uh-oh.Quote:

Trap has claimed he has, was a lot of chat around Given and Doyle as I recall. Problem is what club is going to come in for St.Ledger even with Trap's recommendation? And would Sean really be willing to head off to an Empoli-style backwater?Quote:

Can't escape Dylan Moran's description of the English abroad when thinking of the doc in Italy.
"What do you mean there's no f**king chips. I come here on a plane".
I would read something into St Ledger's comments about maintaining match fitness. And I think his starting position would be under threat in the long run, whether that be the Finals or the next campaign.
I'd be more surprised if he didn't, Alex was Bruce linked with Fiorentina, McGeady was linked with Bayern Munich, both claimed that Trapattoni was consulted.Quote:

Starting tonight v Watford
A 2-0 win but going on the Guardian match report Watford didn't offer much of an attacking threat. Still though, it's relieving to see him play some first team football and help keep a clean sheet.Quote:

Getting some bad ratings here for his role in Leicesters surprise 0-3 defeat at home to Millwall today. Some are standing up for him but its a minority. This side had managed a fair few clean sheets in the league of late, four I think, before he came in so a hiding at home to Millwall like they got today will make keeping his place tricky when the suspended captain is available again. Hopefully it will be the other CB who makes way for the returning player, as he has had a couple of shaky moments today by the sound of it as well.
Sven has been sacked. Might be good news for Sean.
He didn't look good on the highlights that's for sure. He looked shaky on his feet actually.Quote:

On a positive note it was another 90 mins game time, which will help improve match fitness as SSL hasnt played too much before this recent run of games.
Thats important with the Euro Qualifiers coming up.
as long as you keep doing the business in green i'm happy, keep up the good workQuote:
