    He's 27 so he'd want to get a move on. His positional sense at the back isn't great and Soton's attacking threats came from that side early on and they got a few crosses in that he should have stopped. Agree though looks comfortable on the ball and at 6' 3" would add some welcome height to our defence.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    he's 27!! didnt know that, thought he was a lot younger for some reason. yea i know what you mean by the positional sense, defensively he wasnt magnificent but he seemed to be efficient as in he did enough. but going forward he really stood out for qpr.

    I personally think it's more to do with Strachan than it is his ability. I'm not saying he''s the next big thing but he's been a good centre half when I have seen him. Certainly no worse than McManus.

    A blind man can see that McManus (who is an average player anyway) in particular is having an awful start to the season but Strachan will not drop him as he is the captain. Anyway, Loovens is also on the scene now so I think the time has come for O'Dea to put in a transfer request and get away from Celtic Park.

    Loovens is back up for Caldwell. Strachan is big on the left sided, right sided centre half thing.

    He just needs a loan move to a Championship side. Then we'll see if he's worth worrying about, I haven't seen him do much, though he handled himself well two years ago against AC Milan, the match where Kaka scored the only goal after beating the entire defense by himself.

    John Kennedy is out on loan at Norwich now, and Roeder is pressing for him to be included in the Scotland squad. Wouldn't be the worst thing for O'Dea to do the same

    Something which any sane man can see is flawed thinking. It's ok to play 2 right footed centre halves but not 2 left footed one's????

    Has been dropped by QPR recently and the last few games including tonight he's been an unused sub.

    I remember when Delaney was playiing for Leicester in the Premiership and he committed a rather crude foul on Robert Pires, which ended with Pires on his backside. A furious Piries then started mimicking a donkey and gestured towards Damien. Well it was funny at the time.

    Dunno, but I got heartily sick of his impression of a flying fish.

    Has anyone seen much of Delaney since he's moved to Ipswich. When I saw him against Serbia and Colombia, I thought he looked the part and would establish himself ahead of Kilbane, but it seems now that Nolan is ahead of him for the back up LB spot. Any ideas why?

    good question Diarmo - not sure myself. I was also very impressed with his performance against Serbia (didnt see the Colombian game).
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Played CB last night against Arsenal. Didn't see the game but the 5 Live commentators raved about his performance alongside McAuley. Could yet be an option if he gets a run of games and Ipswich start going places.

    He won a lot of headers last night. Still worth a look at LB. I don't recall him ever having a shocker for us.

    It seems he's been playing at CB for Ipswich for quite a while now, with O'Dea often playing left back. I haven't seen much of him, but from the Ipswich v Norwich game a few months back, he did very little to inspire confidence, even though he scored.

    I too saw the East Anglian derby and he had a very bad game as did O'Dea. DD scored the goal that sealed Roy Keane fate a couple of weeks ago with an sloppy OK. I would rather we tried some of the younger candidates for the left full position.
