-Was at the game and over the moon to get three points. However, we really didn't play that well. **** it, we were awful. Our passing was horrendous; I expected us to calm down, pass well and counterattack when we went two up, instead we conceded two soft goals and when the second went in we looked totally hit for six- UCD could easily have taken the lead on a couple of occasions.
-The ball was in the air for most of the match- I can't remember us stringing more than 3/4 passes together.
-Sammon didn't win a single header all night, but that said, he had poor service.
-Grey had one trick- to cut inside, and that was about it. And he was at fault for the second.
- You can talk about finnesse, skills, fitness and strategy until you're blue in the face- we looked far more dangerous tonight from setpieces when Delaney was in the area than we did for the whole of last season.
-We didn't have a midfield. As such.
That said, we won 3 points in a game we've struggled in the last few seasons. My main worry, which I hope/presume will come good was our complete lack of passing and possession. I hope this was just first game rustiness and the team will come good
