Dara O’Shea’s return to the starting team for West Brom and a first goal in five months for Adam Idah was two badly-needed good news stories for Stephen Kenny on a weekend when he had a wasted scouting mission to London. There were fears that Moyes would need to replace Randolph during the game and while the Ireland No 1 played on, he was unable to take goal kicks. “Darren Randolph has been out in recent weeks with a bit of a thigh strain. He’s been back in training for a week or two but I think he felt the effects of his thigh again. We were ready to make a change, but we found a way for him not to have to take the kicks.
