I don't think O'Shea has much to worry about not getting back into the starting team with Lenihans display both defensively and offensively 
I thought his use of the ball was very boring. He has the most passes of the Irish team and they were all short passes to Egan, O'Dowda, McClean or into midfield when he were arsed showing for it. I don't remember him trying to carry the ball out of defence or trying a cross field ball
I think O'Shea is better on the ball and has a better eye for a pass then Lenihan too.
I would like O'Shea straight back into the starting line up on Monday.

Agree with all of that. O'Shea was missed on the night. If Scales isnt seen as a genuine option (left out of matchday squad again) then we should be looking at introducing at least one of Mc Nally, Mc Guinness or Cashin (plays as a left sided CB) into the squad.

One thing I will say is that for all his faults, if Shane Duffy hits the ground running at Norwich he is definitely back in the frame for me.

Not if we intend to do any passing whatsoever. If Kenny stays in charge, though, Duffy might get a recall as a last-10-mins striker with poor ol’ Michael O being dropped for him.

It would be nice if our defenders did some defending in the first instance!

Duffy would be one of the first names on the team sheet again if, as John says, hits the ground running with Norwich. He was arguably our best player until recently under Kenny until the Celtic move and I think that was disastrous due to personal reasons off the pitch which he hasn't really recovered from since.
