Didn't find a thread for the Millwall striker, scored his first goal for the lions today

Played from the start too - sounds promising. Forde kept a clean sheet so far, just in time for Poland

Thought he might play today, the ground was good to firm, ideal for him.

Why? Is he fast?

No he just has small feet.

He ended up condeding two but was blameless. Westwood, actually, wasn't great for Rotherham's second goal against Wednesday, beaten at his near post and it seems pretty clear that Sherwood is sticking with Guzan over Given.

O'Brien nets second of the season against Wolves.

**Charlie Darwin** · 02/05/2015, 2:22 PM

Should be given a lot of opportunities in League One if he stays at Millwall. We need a young striker to come through really.

**TrapAPony** · 02/05/2015, 2:27 PM

Sky Sports Transfer News page a few days ago claimed that Crystal Palace, Swansea, West Ham, Everton, Ipswich, Bournemouth, Notts Forest & Brentford were all tracking him. Here's hoping. He's also in his final year of his contract with Millwall.

**Charlie Darwin** · 06/05/2015, 2:26 PM

Ipswich and Brentford both interested in O'Brien and Millwall will accept £200k.

Banged in a hat-trick against Crewe today - has a good scoring record for us at various underage levels but doesn't seem to have had much of an impact at senior club level in the early years of his career. However, he's not yet 22, so he still has time to develop. Hopefully this is sign of things to come from a striker with potential and not a middling player having a really good day. With that in mind, manager Neil Harris had some very positive comments about O'Brien:

"first and foremost I need to talk about Aiden; what a hat-trick. He's got the ability and quality to do that. It wasn't just his goals, his all-round performance was good."

Bagged his 5th and 6th goals against Sheffield United today. That's from 9 starts and 12 appearances in total. Good tally.

Four in four games if you include The JPT game - let's hope he can turn this streak into consistent longer-term goal scoring form

**Olé Olé** · 25/10/2015, 7:56 AM

Also, another aspect of O'Brien's game worth nothing is that he's managed to bag 4 assists already this season to compliment his 6 goals.

Conor Hourihane has a very healthy 5 assists in there too.

From that site

Aiden O’Brien (Millwall)

O'Brien opened his bag of mercurial tricks in October for Millwall. Able to go past defenders with ease, the young Irishman scored three goals while switching positions between attack and the wing.

Sounds good to me!
