First Choice XI's

[Bunny Kelly]

With most of the squads taking shape & a few friendlies under each sides belt what are the first choice XI's going to be like for each side?

[razor]

its hard to say really. :D

[shep]

Dundalk would be:

1.Peter Cherrie
2.Shaun Kelly
3.Wayne Hatswell
4.Liam Burns
5.Garry Breen
6.Alan Cawley
7.Tom Miller
8.JJ Melligan
9.Neale Fenn
10.Ross Gaynor
11.Shaun Maher

Hoping to add another striker and midfielder i would reckon

[Dodge]

I reckon Pats will be


-----------Connor---------
Lynch Guthrie Kenna Bermingham
Guy---Byrne--- Mulcahey--Coughlan
----Faherty-------Williams

Pretty certain in all areas bar midfield where Mahon may go for the experienced pair I have there or a combination of either of those with Sinnott or McAllister

that looks a good team, ill go for that as well

only doubt would be kenna, but i havent seen enough of him yet

[gustavo]

Ours possibly something like

Brush

Keane/Ventre Almeida/Foran Peers Davoren

McCabe O'Grady Ryan/Doninger Doyle

Amond Blinkhorn

[sligoman]

I'd guess:

Brush

Whelan/Keane, Peers, Almeida, Davoren,

McCabe, 2 of Doninger/O'Grady/Ventre/Ryan, Doyle,

Amond, Blinkhorn.

[harps1954]

For Harps, I'd guess:

Ciaran Gallagher
James Doherty - Jonathan Minnock - Packie Mailey - Matthew Crossan
Michael Funston - Shaun McGowan - Johnny Lafferty - Marc Brolly
Davitt Walsh/Stephen McLaughlin - Kevin McHugh

[Longfordian]

Hmm, when all are fit I'd hazard a guess at

Aaron Shanahan

Derek Tyrell
Philip Byrne
Chris Deans
Gary Cronin

JP McDonagh
Ryan McEvoy
John Lester
Cathal Brady/Fiachra McArdle

Derek Glynn
Peter Hynes

David Freeman could be slotted in in midfield or up front somewhere as well.

[pineapple stu]

Probably similar to last year -

-------------Barron----------------
Harding-----Ev---Boyle---Shortall
Mulhall---Corry---Creevy--Ward
------McMillan------Kilduff-------

Bolger, Nangle and McMahon would be the main ones pushing for a starting spot, I think.

[Sam_Heggy]

For Harps, I'd guess:

Ciaran Gallagher
James Doherty - Jonathan Minnock - Packie Mailey - Matthew Crossan
Michael Funston - Shaun McGowan - Johnny Lafferty - Marc Brolly
Davitt Walsh/Stephen McLaughlin - Kevin McHugh

I would guess along the same lines although I would definitely prefer McLaughlin to Walsh and it looks like Mark Moran is going to be getting a run at left mid tonight so maybe he is going to replace Brolly in the 1st XI.

[OneForTheFuture]

I reckon Pats will be


-----------Connor---------
Lynch Guthrie Kenna Bermingham
Guy---Byrne--- Mulcahey--Coughlan
----Faherty-------Williams

Pretty certain in all areas bar midfield where Mahon may go for the experienced pair I have there or a combination of either of those with Sinnott or McAllister

I would have thought McAllister would have to get the nod....Class footballer, but of course I have not seen Pats in preseason.

[PartySaint]

I would have thought McAllister would have to get the nod....Class footballer, but of course I have not seen Pats in preseason.

I only managed to get to one pre season friendly and McAlister was playing right wing, Didnt have a good game, would have liked to seen him in the midde of the park

[Dodge]

I would have thought McAllister would have to get the nod....Class footballer, but of course I have not seen Pats in preseason.

PLayed in centre v Bray. played well I thought. As I said elsewhere I think Mahon will start with the experienced pair with a view to establishing a solid base. Personally hope Sinnott gets a decent amount of playing time

[Aaron]

Hard to say with us. I'd guess

Doherty

McCallion
Scoltock
McChrystal
Friars

Sweeney
Deery
Molloy
McLean

Farren
Parkhouse

[holidaysong]

That Longford team doesn't look too bad at all!

[Hairy Bowsie]

I'd guess Shels first choice XI will be

----------- I ---------
--- II - III - IV - V ---
- VI - VII - VIII - IX -
------ X - XI ----

[sligoman]

XIChinese international, decent striker.

[Acornvilla]

I'd guess Shels first choice XI will be

----------- I ---------
--- II - III - IV - V ---
- VI - VII - VIII - IX -
------ X - XI ----

XIII unlucky not to be selected no?

[peadar1987]

I'd guess Shels first choice XI will be

----------- I ---------
--- II - III - IV - V ---
- VI - VII - VIII - IX -
------ XANO - XI ----

[the-blue-harp]

[Rocketman]

Hard to say with us. I'd guess

Doherty

McCallion
Scoltock
McChrystal
Friars

Sweeney
Deery
Molloy
McLean

Would agree with the above but Parkie has to be fit.
