The reason O’Brien is deemed worthy of a place in our squad ahead of the above mentioned is the fact that his manager is Pat Devlin. So typical of the present set up.Originally Posted by tetsujin1979

Thanks for that Tets...........I would have trusted your reply though. It does show a certain loyalty in the lad when you see what he's done this year compared to others.
There'll be snow on that one.
Still regarded as one of the brightest prospects playing in England.

Not certain of the time Robbie Keane was introduced as a substitute, can someone confirm it?
See O'Shea was substituted after 30 mins today. Stated as tactical on BBC Sport, if so thats a bloody joke.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
dunno where they got that from.
he went off injured and it looks ominous about whether he will be fit to play next week as he did give the injury a chance but there was no improvement so he was taken off.
Here comes O Brien I suppose (ANDY)

Injured his calf, poor lad, maybe he'll miss the Germany game. Fingers crossed
Pity Gibson's injured as he probably would have replaced O'Shea today.
Alan SheehaN returned to the leicester line up today and looks to have done very well, should never have been out of the side in the first place anyway.

Sheff Wed 0 v 2 Leicester City
Leicester secured their first Coca-Cola Championship victory under Gary Megson as Sheffield Wednesday paid the price for some charitable defending at Hillsborough with a 2-0 defeat.
Megson, who was a fans' favourite during his playing days at Wednesday, has endured a difficult start to life in the City hotseat, but a Gareth McAuley header and an Akpo Sodje own goal in the opening 13 minutes gave the Foxes a first away victory in the league to pile the pressure on Owls boss Brian Laws.
Both goals came courtesy of right-wing corners, with Wednesday having no answer to Alan Sheehan's dangerous left-foot delivery.
Laws made three changes to the side beaten by leaders Watford in midweek. Lee Grant recovered from illness to take over from Robert Burch in goal, skipper Lee Bullen replaced the injured Frank Simek and Dutch winger Etienne Esajas came in for the suspended Jermaine Johnson.
For Leicester, Sheehan and Shaun Newton came in for Radostin Kishishev and Joe Mattock.
The Foxes had been struggling for goals in recent weeks, but they were gifted two inside the opening 13 minutes as Wednesday failed to deal with Sheehan's inviting corners.
First, McAuley took advantage of a static Owls defence to nod home at the back post just six minutes in.
Seven minutes later Sheehan swung a corner in to the near post which Grant failed to deal with, palming the ball against Sodje, who could only watch on as the ball rebounded into the corner of the net.
Steve Watson almost pulled a goal back with the interval looming, but after a scramble in the box his goalbound strike was deflected away for a corner.
To add to Laws' woes, on-loan defender Michael Johnson was withdrawn after sustaining an injury just before the break.
Leicester's central defensive trio looked solid throughout the first half, but they were almost caught out three minutes after the break when Deon Burton fired into the sidenetting.
Wednesday substitute Mark Beevers lifted the home supporters with a perfectly-timed last-ditch tackle to deny Newton a clear run on goal 10 minutes after the break.
Laws brought on summer signing Francis Jeffers and Burton O'Brien with half an hour remaining in a bid to freshen things up.
But Megson has turned the Foxes into a well-drilled defensive unit and they were in no mood to be charitable against a Wednesday outfit that looked devoid of ideas in the final third.
Newton should have put the Owls out of sight when he volleyed Sheehan's pinpoint cross over the bar from cross range at the back post.
On-loan Leicester keeper Marton Fulop was finally forced into a save with 13 minutes remaining, diving full length to tip O'Brien's right-foot strike around the post.
As Wednesday pushed forward substitute DJ Campbell almost grabbed a third but fired into the Kop after turning his marker.
Fulop then denied Marcus Tudgay in stoppage time, but it was not to be Wednesday's day.
