Got his eighth of the season in the Cup today. Admittedly the opposition was AFC Fylde but it's good that he's keeping his goal scoring form going

Millwall star will ignore Premier League admirers to reach target: http://www.newsatden.co.uk/52206-mil...ch-target.html
signed a contract with Millwall until June 2019: http://www.millwallfc.co.uk/news/art...s-2896334.aspx
The goals seemed to have dried up a bit since getting player of the month. Himself and Callum O'Dowda have a chance of reaching Wembley in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, Millwall play Oxford in the semi final first leg on Thursday night (Live on SS1).
Pat Hoban also started for Oxford. David Forde and Shaun Williams started for Millwall, with Forde letting in a cross at his near post which will do his chances of retaining his place little good.
Hey... this isn't an 'Irish Lions and Opposition Irish' thread, so stop making me look bad

Saw this lad the other night at the Peterborough / Millwall match where his side lost heavily.
Started on the right of four, and for what he saw of the second half was one of a three up top. Millwall were basically route one all night, so he spent a lot of time fighting to flick on or similar battles. He did show nice control two or three times when he picked a nothing ball from the air, followed by a nice touch under pressure and a good layoff. He can play, but his side don't play much ball, or didn't try to the other night at least. His evening was defined by two good sights of goal he got when the score was 2-0, the first a one on one where he aimed to draw the keeper but took a touch too many and the keeper smothered it, the second a glancing header, unmarked between the posts and he flicked it wide. They were both presentable chances and just after the second one Peterborough made it 3-0 inside 20 minutes.
Soon after that the ball was pulled back to him in the middle of the goal, edge of the box and he tried to play it back where it came from when it really just needed a good thump at the goals. It was another chance but he didn't take it on, and looking at him that might have been a confidence thing after his two misses. He faded from there till HT a little but no Millwall player got any gold stars in this game. He came out fired up in the second half to give him his due, got involved and no hiding from him. On 64 minutes he was hauled ashore and his boss had a long chat with him when he reached the bench followed by a hug and a man tap on his head. A tough night for a young player but he kept getting back up.
Has gone a little under the radar recently, but after a few seasons of short goal scoring streaks and long droughts, O'Brien seems to have found form in front of the net this season, with eight goals including six in the last twelve games, adding another one today
Has scored his 11th goal of the season this afternoon.

Linked with several Championship clubs.
Cheeky finish from him yesterday: https://twitter.com/MillwallFC/statu...37261658431489
If Millwall don't make the play-offs (they've an outside chance, 6 games left, 3 pts behind but much worse goal diff) I think he should go for the Mexico friendly.
Into the L1 playoffs with Millwall he goes.
Bamford has stated that he aims to break into the England team, Hogan appears disinterested in playing for us, O'Neill appears disinterested in Jutkiewicz, O'Neill cast doubt on Mason's interest.
So it is good to see a young Ireland (U-21) International potentially playing Championship football next season, as we badly need fresh legs.
Hard to gauge if he can improve on his potential from when he last played at Championship level.
15 in 57 at League One level is not awe-inspiring and similar to what Simon Cox achieved.
Paddy Madden has netted one in two at that level before injury problems stunted his progress this season, yet the Yeovil manager didn't afford him many opportunities at Championship level.
Good to see Shaun Williams, too, promoted.
Unsung, but a player who was deemed capable of stepping up to the Premier League by a couple of managers not that long ago.
Kyron Farrell, who is eligible, looks set to be released in the summer.
Has notched as a Championship player in his second start / app.
