Dara O'Shea (D Burnley b.1999)

Sets up Taylor for Burnley's opener today, but they end up losing 2-1 away against Bournemouth. Only four points from their first ten games, and 25 goals conceded in that time.

There's only six teams to have topped 100 points in the Championship, and of those they've all been comfortable mid-table the following year except for Leicester, who were anchored to the bottom for most of the season before finding form, and then winning the title the next year of course. Really disappointing showing so far though (and for the three Irish players there of course)

The three promoted teams are now the bottom three in the league, which shows how hard the step up is now. Also means that the bulk of the Irish players in the Premier League are in the relegation zone - Cullen, O'Shea, Egan, Ogbene and Obafemi (albeit he's been injured). The saving grace for them is that Bournemouth are fairly useless as well, and all four teams can't be relegated. Everyone thought Luton were just there for the one year, but they actually have a chance of staying up given how weak all four of those teams are.

Getting a lot of MOTM nominations for his performance today and looks to be winning over the boo boys. Delighted for him - always thought he had the most natural defensive positional sense of all our CB’s and surprisingly fast (5th fastest in the PL this season) - hopefully can develop further under Kompany:

Kelleher was excellent 2 big saves at vital times.

Not that he gets the credit!

Scored Burnley's equaliser today

Good stat, wouldn't have expected it to have been as long as that.

Sorry, the game was December 2020, not 2012

**Eirambler** · 30/03/2024, 5:49 PM

Ah, that makes a lot more sense actually.

Straight red for him against Everton. He’s actually played well but a bad touch, ball got away from him and he lunged in recovery. Might have been a wee bit harsh but was also last man.
