The start of season is fast approaching so i tought id start this thread to see what peoples expectations were for the coming months. Personally im optamistic that our young but now more experienced squad can avoid an end of season relegation scrap,and finish a couple of places above all the madness. A years experience under our belts, plus the fact we have kept almost all of last years squad really leaves us a lot better prepared than this time last year. I think 6th in the league and a nice run in the cup will do me. Good luck to Pat, Keith, and all the lads.

Hopefully your right, but i still think we are a little short up front, need a good experienced striker to add to the youth we have. Also heard we are going back to Adidas and stripes, please let it be true :D

Devo's squad should be better for the experience of surviving the relegation battle last season, I think with so many other clubs having to cut their cloth to their measure gives Bray an equal chance to improve their position this season, youth policy was a success last season and after resigning all but one from last season I am looking forward to kick-off, onwards and upwards hopefully...

Is there a ruling that a premier club cannot play another premier club in a pre season friendly.. therefore our match was cancelled yesterday as a result of this rule.???

Mons have already played Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers. However, you could be right as the licences were decided on Sunday...

I'd say the weather was a factor, it's done nothing but rain for the past week so playing on the pitch would mave destroyed it

Good point, it probably took weeks for the big trail of boot prints I left on the field after the last Monaghan game to disappear!

Decent enough game in Waterford today, 2-2. Mulroy scored inside the first minute and Wanderers had the best of the first half, but Waterford equalised around the half-hour. A slew of changes at the break seemed to hand the momentum to Waterford for the second half. Kane made three great saves to keep Bray in the game. It needed a Jake Kelly peno to earn the draw after Dempsey's free was handled by the wall. Thought Graham Kelly was our best player. And our last substitute? Colm Tresson! Bray starting XI: Gregg, Webster, Massey, Prendergast, Mitchell, G. Kelly, Dempsey, Doyle, J. Kelly, Shields, Mulroy.

Seems the Monaghan friendly has been rearranged:
Monaghan United will, after all, take on Bray Wanderers for a pre-season friendly this Sunday 27 February.
The match will take place in Westmanstown, Dublin with a 12 noon kick-off.

Very worrying defeat to 10 man Limerick last night, we bossed the possession but they were content to let us pass it around in the middle third of the pitch. In the final third we looked very lacking and you wonder where the goals will come from. Still, pre-season games can be deceptive so we look forward to next Friday with hope. Best of luck to Limerick for their season, they've had some good pre-season results. Match report here: http://extratime.ie/fixtures/detail/12447/2/

Ah sure it's only a friendly. I was beginning to lose the run of myself with optimism. Struggle/Flirt with relegation it is so.

Bray 0-0 Monaghan
Brutal game on a crap pitch out in Westmanstown. No side looked like scoring, Bray had more of the ball and prob had the better half chances but that was it...
Bray team was - Gregg; Doyle, Mitchel, Last, Kendrick; Graham Kelly, Gary Dempsey, Danny O'Connor, Jake Kelly; Shields; O'Neill.
Subs were, Zambra, Massey, Kane, McGuinness, Murphy, Mulroy and a few others i didnt know...

He's been trainging with us for a few weeks now but nothing from the club to say he has signed.

They're going to sit down with Kendrick in the next few days and they hope to sign him.

And by 'the next few days' I obviously meant that they had already sat down with him and would be announcing his signing tonight: http://braywanderers.ie/index.php?id=600&backPID=1&tt_news=1189
