[dong]

Possibly this: 4-4-2?

Mannus
Keane
Oman
Murray
Davoren
McLean
Ryan
Finn
McCabe
Zayed
Twigg

Subs:
Rogers
Bradley
McGlynn
Sheppard

[Cuyahoga]

Good selection but i would have Daniel Kearns in the team instead of Gary Mc Cabe.

[Dodge]

----------mannus
Keane Oman McMillan Stevens
Kearns Dempsey Finn McLean
---North Zayed

Left out Kavanagh because I didn't want to put too maby pats players in. I'd have him ahead of Zayed anyway

I also think Twigg is best striker in the league but he's missed a few games so he doesn't get in. I've no doubt he'll be in the end of year team. Dempsey is the player of the year so far

[The Lilywhites]

Wouldn't have Kearns in it. Madden instead of Keane for me.

[Aaron]

I'd also have Stewart Greacen in there, has been immense for us IMO

[Dillonman]

Imnot been biased here but it may sound like it, Madden is the best right back in the league, hes the most consistant player in our team all season, never has a bad game. Hawkins would be close to a centre back slot in the team of the season too! A complete leader for us.

[Candystripe]

With 28 goals between Zayed,Mc Glynn and Mc Clean surley these three would be in everyones teams?

Greacen at CB has been amazing all season as well.

That leaves seven other players from all teams you's can pick. ;)

[sligo23]

I'm not being biased, but players who play for my team should be there instead of players that don't.

Bray Wanderers

[ahmcd]

4-4-2
GK Rogers (Pats)
RB Madden (Dundalk)
CB Mitchell (Bray)
CB McMillian (Pats)
LB Massey (Bray)
RM Kearns (Dundalk)
CM Dempsey (Bray)
CM Finn (Rovers)
LM Brennan (Bohs)
ST Murphy (Bray)
ST Zayed (Derry)

[Bray-Z]

Gary Dempsey absolutely has to be in there. No question.

[Guinney]

Gk. Mannus* (Rovers)
Rb. Madden* (Dundalk)
Cb. Oman* (Rovers)
Cb. Hawkins* (Rovers)
Lb. Davoren (Sligo)
Rm. McGylnn (Derry)
Cm. Dempsey* (Bray)
Cm. Finn* (Rovers)
Lm. Brennan (Bohs)
Fw. Twigg (Rovers)
Fw. Zayed* (Derry)

* All shoe ins for me.

Honorable mentions to Rodgers (Pats), McCabe (Rovers), North (Pats) McGylnn (Derry), Richie Ryan (Sligo), Eoin Doyle (Sligo). Twigg has missed a few games but is without doubt the best striker in the league, plus he is still up there in the league goal scoring charts. Then there is Daniel Kearns. Without doubt he has great talent and had some great games but his end product for us at times has been not good enough.

[Red4Eva]

Shocked at all the people who have included Kearns. All flash, very little substance.

[PartySaint]

shocked at the lack of mentions for Daryl Kavanagh and North, both pure class, especially Kavanagh

[SkStu]

anyone inclined to opt for Heary? Putting in some solid shifts at the back for us by all accounts. Not bad going for an auld lad.

[Rasputin]

All bias aside I still rate Keane higher than Madden, I just dont see Madden anywhere as close to Keane.
Apart from Keane I couldnt really see any other of our players bar maybe Davoren getting into the starting 11 at the minute.

[Dodge]

Davoren's a terrible defender. Absolutely awful. I don’t rate Madden at all. I picked Stevens as I think he's a good player but talking to a Rovers mate he said he's had a poor season (and even thinks he should be dropped). ON reflection I think Massey is a great shout for LB. Not many great full backs around.

For Pats Pender is as solid as they come. Keane is better going forward (and I picked him above) but for Pats I wouldn’t swap Pender for anyone. Ian Bermingham started the season well but injuries have taken their toll again. Jake Carroll looks to have huge potential

Some of the picks here are hilarious IMO. Hawkins? Brennan? Mitchell? Brennan is an attacking/creative player and Bohs have only scored 16 goals all season?

But then you can only pick what you see. Kearns scared the bejesus out of me in Richmond earlier this season. Himself and Gaynor where phenomenal. Haven’t seen anyone else play as well as that, so that’s why I picked him. Obviously Dundalk fans know more than I do about him

[Dunny]

Two people included him...

Mitchell has put in some outstanding performances this season to be fair.

[Dodge]

I'm sure he's had his moment, but he hasn't been one of the top 2 centre halves in the the league this season.

[John83]

Sometimes being a UCD fan really sucks.

Gregg; Sullivan, E McMillan, Shortall, Stevens; Murphy, McFaul, Finn, Doyle; D McMillan, Rusk.

[Roo69]

That's down to personal choice isn't it?

[Dodge]

Of course. We're never going to reach consensus, just giving my opinion like the rest...

I like the way even in the best UCD XI in the league, the forwards are still crap. :D

(You could have put in Killer to avoid having to use a current player. Or Sammon, in which case that team trumps any mentioned so far)

I just scanned the line-ups from the last round's games, so I missed Kilduff (and Kenna, too). But throw those two in there, and that's a damned fine team.

Sammon doesn't really count, as he's not playing in the LoI this year.

[pineapple stu]

Pfft. Look how bad we are; we need all the help we can get!

[Mr Maroon]

Davoren's a terrible defender. Absolutely awful.
I agree. I've thought that since he first moved to left back for us. He's good going forward though.

if he did though? The most wanted strike forice in the Muslim world! Sammon Rusky...

[PartySaint]

Is Mitchell the ginger lad at the back for Bray? If he is he was super against us in the game out in the Carlisle, We only managed to score because he was off injured at the time

That's the one alrite. Put in some phenomenal displays, the two against Shams stand out. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/phenomenal)

[dfx-]

His display in Tallaght was phenomenal

[Rasputin]

Davoren's a terrible defender. Absolutely awful.
Not quite fair on the lad Dodge.
He was an awfull defender when he first joined us from Galway, wasnt comfortable at all, constantly caught out of position.
But last season he came on significantly.
And this season is probably his best yet for us, some really solid displays.
From what ive seen of left backs in this league he is definetly in contention for a spot on the team.

He's not good enough in the air or strong enough in the tackle for me. I'd like to see him played left midfield, beats players with ease.

[Dodge]

Possibly. Only really see players against Pats and on highlights (which show nothing of course) and everytime I've seen him he's looked a poor defender.

Likewise that Mitchell lad at Bray. He was good in the Carlisle groudns but shocking in Richmond, so I'm only commenting on that. He might be MOTM in all other games

Madden has been solid for us all season as well as last year. Kearns sh!tes himself when faced one on one and only goes back., I rate Gaynor far more than him as Gaynor is where we get most of our goals from, his crosses and set piece taking is phenominal

Saw Stevens three times this season and Kearns actually killed him on the pitch, think hes the only player Kearns did that too so I defo wouldnt have Stevens in there. North is touch and go, didnt he go 5 games at the start of the season picking fights with John Gill and not able to even get a shot on target? Kavanagh is good, was impressed with him at Oriel.

[KBurke]

I think the fairest way to pick a team is to let us Galway United fans do it. No fear of us being biased as we havent a single player anywhere near such a team

Stop copying my word ;) :)

[geezer]

to be The "pros" at GUFC they get my vote anyway.

[Bray-Z]

Do ya think Damien Richardson is gonna pick his squad based on this thread?

Doubt it because so far only 4 posters have put forward a team of the season.
