Agree there, was a bit weary of him starting but he held his own. Will definitely be good to take another look at him later on. Edited by Garak - 29 Mar 2011 at 7:52am |

This lad can play and defend, he was unlucky not to get a look in at Celtic and I had no fears for him last Saturday. Great to see him get a chance and he'll kick on in his career, still pretty young. |

Change the record J.
  O'Dea played superb football for Celtic in the CL (when was the last time the Toffees made it to the group stage then?), he had to get away for his career cos Strachan and Mowbray wouldn't give him a decent look in despite Caldwell and McManus playing utter sh*te for the last 18 months to 2 years of their Celtic career. I'd have O'Dea back in the Celtic team now if it were possible, the lad is an excellent defender and one moment summed him nicely on Sat, long ball was played up and rather than boot it or head it away, took it on his chest into his stride and sprinted away from the forward easily before passing to a team-mate.

when Loovens and Mulgrew are preferred you know the manager doesn't rate you

In truth he had a good game against Macedonia , he"s a good squad player to have who"ll act as cover now and in the future!! I dont want to be pinning our hope"s on O"Dea who isnt even automatic at Ipswich , Strachan was to pig headed for change at Celtic but in fairness 3 managers cant be wrong about a player , Strachan , Mowbray and Lennon...Personally id like to see a few more young centre halves coming through along with Duffy who for me is the stand out

We are struggling at centre half but I feel O'dea was by far the worst option. I really wanted him to be a player as he seems to have a great attitude and personality but my lord he is dreadful. So sleep and sloppy!!

Always nice to read about players who appreciate the honour that is playing for your country. Good man O'Dea.

If O'Dea is playing week in week out for Leeds he will mature as a player and could very well improve...He's a decent option for Trap , look he can header a ball and even if he has to hoof it out of defense so be it...He wears his heart on his sleeve |

He played left-back last week for Leeds and that is not his position as he doesn't have the pace to play there, he needs to be in the centre.

O'Dea has been every bit as competent as St Ledger at domestic level and he has been a rock for Ireland whenever he has played.

Glad to see Trap stuck with O'Dea to play centre half, he has done well the last few games and deserves to keep his place. It will be good to have another dependable option if Dunne / St Ledger / O Shea out.
Playing well for Leeds since switched to centre half (if a Leeds defender could be regarded as playing well this season!!!) |

I think he's a great defender, soon 2 b a regular at centre back but not until Dunne retires

Was brilliant that night in Leige, rock solid v Macedonia and in all the praise for Dunne in Moscow O'Dea's performance has gotten over looked as he was outstanding that night as well.
