Expectations for the new season

[RoversInn]

Positions we need players, Where will we finish next season?

[CF1989]

need to tie down peers. heard butler was offered f**k all. madness from the club imo if hes not kept on. hes back from injury now and able to play ball again. why keep him on through the year not being able to play and then let him go when hes back???

[sligofan4ever]

Get Gavin Peers,Romauld Boco,Alan Keane,Rafael Cretaro,Richard Brush,Danny Ventre,Dean Marshall,Darren Meenan and Brian Cash all new contracts (In particular the first 4 players mentioned)
Sign a new right midfielder
Another back up striker
Challenge for top 3
Have another good run in both Cups
Sign another left back
Get revenge against Fingal :mad::p

[SligoBrewer]

Our season, like the last one, is dependent on Peers being on the pitch for the Bit O'Red. With him I feel we could challenge for third/fourth. Without him, we'll leak goals.

[CF1989]

cant make a start like we dd last season, hopefully we're lucky with injuries and get a win on day 1 and build on it

[bingoballs]

The squad sorted out in good time, a good pre season and a good start to the league, the club to maintain its healthy financial status and hopefully a trophy at the end of it all. It would be great to get some big side for a friendly in the summer too.

[Rovers1]

Challenge the top 3, which will more than likely be Bohs, Shams and Fingal. Although it's going to be very difficult to see who'll be challenging (with us hopefully) for the 3rd spot. UCD could be decent, God knows what the story will be with Cork. Drogheda wil want to challenge again. Pat's, if they get a decent manager could be back to '08 form and Foster might have a bit of money at Dundalk. We need a good start and to be beating the teams 'below' us from the start. Hopefully we'll have a go at the Setanta Cup in the new year, prize money, trophy etc. And the loss in Tallaght can drive us on in the FAI Cup.

Only 12 weeks to go!

Only

ya have to think big and i think if shams can get real madrid and some club in the wilderness of Cork can get liverpool i can't see why we couldn't attractManchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea or AC Milan for a pre season friendly:D

[roversman]

[avvenalaf]

Why on earth would you want to humiliate Fingal?

[RoversInn]

Maybe the club can sort something out with Real Madrid as part of the Danny Ventre deal.

[SligoBrewer]

We played in the Cup Final last month and they bet us, it was the worst day of my life, id like some retribution

Their going out of business once Gannon pulls out will be retribution enough I feel.

[Martinho II]

My expection for the new season is to see rovermaniac back on board! I miss his crazy rants!!:D

[sligoman]

1. Re-sign Seamus Coleman.

[Mayo Red]

1. Re-sign Seamus Coleman.

Celtic are not a big club anyway..they play in a league no better than ours....they have great supporters but thats it.

[CF1989]

peers has signed

[sligofan4ever]

peers has signed

When will this be officially confirmed on the site ?

Delighted to hear we signed him up for the new season, if he can go through the whole of next season without an injury like he got this summer then we shouldn't leak as many goals this season.

[srfc1928]

peers has signed
potm.

[red arrow]

that's great news if it's true'!

[sligoman]

that's great news if it's true'!Are you doubting the great CF?:eek:

[Mayo Red]

Brilliant to get Peers signed up!

[Only1Rovers]

I heard this before the Everton Spurs game and thought the day wouldn't get any better from a Rovers perspective... Then Seamie went and did his thing. Great day for Rovers over all.

[RoversInn]

[avvenalaf]

Well then go up and torch Tallaght Stadium and kill two birds with the one stone.

[redobit]

Are we keeping the same jersey for next season?

[Rovers1]

Are we keeping the same jersey for next season?

From what i've heard, no.

[rovers100%]

any word on mcglynn deal ??? and can anyone confirm turner is properly signed up for 2 years

[srfc1928]

murray? sure hes not even in talks with us.
Exactly, this seems to be an old rumour that has resurfaced again.

[RoversInn]

Well then go up and torch Tallaght Stadium and kill two birds with the one stone.

The SDCC won't be happy.

[srfc1928]

Rovers will start pre season Jan 14th.

[sligofan4ever]

I heard the 19th

No, hes right. They begin training on the 14th according to The Champion.

[Well Red]

Happy New Year to everyone on the forum and especially Happy New year to everyone who made this forum work and also to the players and staff at Sligo Rovers and may they have a top three year.

[CF1989]

yeah thanks alot sligoman

[DonalE]

Viva el Sligoman

[SligoBrewer]

I saw my mate, the other day..

[redobit]

A good pre-season could be vitale to our chances next season. The fact we have 2 competitive games in the Setanta in Feb should hopefully stand to us when the season starts.

[avvenalaf]

Whens the postponed Cork game being played?

Think it's going to be played in the car park at Abbotstown - Cork will be spending most of the next few months up there.

[LondonRover]

Probably midday, they'll do it during the lunchbreak. Delaney's going to ref it...
