Derry

First 6 or 7 games we played 4 3 3 with Hickey Jt and Clarkey.

Played it more recently in a few games with Kav Jt and Kiely cant remember exact games except Cork in Turners.

Against Cork in Turners we started with Kav and Kelleher anyway I remember that. They rotated the stikers a lot at the start of the year but never played it differently to the 4-4-2 except I think against Longford when it was lashing rain in Jackman, they played Hickey on the right but he pushed on like a third striker for most and Clarke dropped off into the hole. Its as much for the reason that Scully didnt change to the 5 in midfield at half time as well as always starting the same way that I was disappointed with anyway..

They have its a fact ive missed 2 games this year i got JT wrong but it was a front 3 in Turners turning into 4 5 1 when we were defending.

People were complaining at the start of the year because we weren't playing 4 4 2.

Fair enough...Derry were very good anyway and probably should have been up a few by the time they got their first goal...something should have been done at the latest at half time. We did come back into the game in the second half but they were a cut above us over all...

After calming down i suppose its fair enough about the doom and gloom.

But there was nothing at all Dave could have done about the goal Farren took it to early for Dave to set and was very close in both Midfields fault for letting Derry go straight through and Defence for letting Farren through so easily.

Fair enough maybe there was nothing Dave could have done but you could see what was going to happen a mile off, taught Dave had a good game in fairness he looked good under crosses and his kicking wasn't bad either, still makes me nervous at times tho

Beaten by a much better team

Kenny got his tactics right, pinpounted Kelly who was dogsh*t and also the lack of pace of Purcell

Scully didn't when we lost the ball we run back to defend the 18 yard box instead of chasing the player

White should have came on for Kelly at half time

Think people, inculding myself where more ****ed off about the manner of the loss than the actual loss. As people have been saying it's no big deal to lose to the league leaders but from the off you could see Limerick slipping further and further into defense. When a Derry player got the ball we stood off them and dropped deep. When a Limerick player had it, Derry where up ontop of the player immediately, pressurising the player into a mistake. Totally outclassed Friday night. Onwards and upwards now though. Hopefully the team can left themselves straight away and get a result in the League against Longford.

If they battled to a 3-0 defeat you'd get over it, everyone exept maybe Rodgers, Paddy, Dave in goals and JT (when he came on) have a lot to prove against Longford next week. (and I include Scully)

Id love to see Kiely and JT on the wings Ryan and Tracy just don't have the pace and you never see them skin a man. Kiely and Jt could get other teams defences on the back foot with their pace and skill.

Someone has said it already but how Peter White cant start ahead of Sean Kelly shocks me.
