    Positive words on Lee O'Connor here. Maybe he can kick on for the second half of the season and prove a few of the doubters on here wrong.

    https://www.thefootballnetwork.net/b...m?730,16902620

    This thread has a few comments from earlier in the month of January which shows contentment with O'Connor at right back too.

    Not 21 until July.

    Amazing what a bit of actual information can tell you about a player’s prospects. Based on the fact he’d been dropped and this forum, I was under the impression O’Connor was on the brink of falling out of professional football.

    Then that article in the 42! It turns out he was out due to COVID, not being dropped — and gets man of the match playing in defensive midfield upon his return, and is now off to Wembley. Too funny.

    O'Connor has definitely struggled with the physical side of senior football though, and took a lot of flak from Tranmere fans earlier in the season. He also hasn't played a league game since before Christmas - while Covid may account for part of that time it won't cover the whole period, he was definitely dropped before Christmas.

    Possibly the main issue though might turn out to be that he isn't actually suited to being a right back at all - it may turn out that he's actually a sitting midfielder. Will be interesting to see if he plays more in that position from now on for Tranmere, a change like that could end up being the making of him, who knows.

    Tranmere are in the semis afaik so they're one game away from Wembley still.

    So makes it to the final. Played defensive mid last night, and was v solid from what i saw. Think he moved to right back towards end but wasn't watching at that stage. His loan has had its ups and downs, like any loan spell will, but no doubt it has been an excellent one for him. Played lots of minutes, in different positions, with a reasonably high profile club and likely to play at Wembley. Shodipo looked a constant threat for Oxford.

    Should get the start against Sunderland at Wembley on Sunday (3pm sky sports), has been pretty much an ever present in the side the last while. Good chance he'll be up against McGeady who is flying it at moment.

    Not in the squad at all, presumably injured?

    Poster here reckons he was victim of an awful challenge in training. Not sure the nature of the injury. Hopefully it doesn't keep him out for long.

    Special shout out to Lee. Has done very well at Tranmere despite the Rocky start, albeit mostly playing holding midfield. I would prefer to see him at right back, but just happy he’s playing anywhere for now. Tranmere now 2nd in league 2. https://twitter.com/tranmererovers/s...077586949?s=21

    Midfield could be his position long term and not RB though.

    Malvinas pupucho, !! They broadcasted the Toulon tournament on espn3 Argentina, two years ago in 2019 I think, I remembered the team was against one that was managed by Guus Hiddink, it was China, then i saw the matches from the group and the third place match, couldnt watch the game vs brazil. all the matches were broadcasted by espn 3, left back was a guy called leahy, aaron connolly was out left, with idah and the number 7, zach something who plays in sweden, ronan as number 10 with two holding midfielders, lee o connor had the space to overlap on the right , kelleher was the keeper dara oshea played at the back I think with scales

    espn is based in Argentina for Southamerica they usually broadcast from here to the continent, it is mostly football broadcasted in all those 3 or 4 channels they have from espn, plus some tennis, basket and rugby in that order, but football is all over there.

    Espn merged with fox sports in Southamerica
