    well, on the video there were a couple of 'should never have scored with that' type of goals but also some very good movement and positioning, picking up a lot of loose stuff in the box...1 in 5 record and mostly played out wide by the sounds of it, does not seem to panic and gets his head on a fair few.

    looks more than capable for this league at least, look forward to seeing him play.

    Was excellent for us in League 1, but never quite did it at Championship level.
    One of those frustrating players that is unplayable one game then drifts in and out of the next game.

    Played for us mainly as a winger, but does have goals in him.

    Cheers mate. His goalscoring record doesn’t look very convincing. 34 league goals by the age of 26 and nearly 200 games... Is he more of a creative player who will assist?

    I’ve seen a few reports saying he’s been constantly played out of position so that won’t help the stats.

    Seen a lot worse. Seems to have a good positional sense and knows where the goal is.

    Our last season in League One, he scored 13 and was playing on the wing.
    He's improved as a player a great deal since then .

    I was talking to my Millwall supporting mate earlier. He said OBrien was one of their most talented players and his goalscoring record would be alot higher if he played in his natural position in the centre..

    His only downfall is he gasses after about an hour (Hes a smoker apparently).
    He sounds very much like Maguire. He scored 15 goals in this league when Millwall got promoted, he'll have improved alot since then aswell playing in the Championship against much higher quality defenders.
    He seems a really good signing to me.

    Haha yes i forgot about Steed and his smoking habit.
    If Steed could score he'd have been one of our best players ever
