The Irish under-21 international was reported to be starting against the West Midlands strugglers last weekend by various sources, but was not even named on the bench as the reds recorded a 1-1 victory against ancient Pop Idol judge Pete Waterman's favourite side.

Dario explained his decision not to include the 20-year old to BBCi: "I don't really know what Eamon is going to do yet. In training it's clear he likes to go out wide like Dean Ashton does," said the manager.

"There's nothing wrong in that and it will be difficult to change if that's how he played throughout his career," he concluded.
