There's a few tough decisions to make... I think he could go with 3 in central midfield. O'Neill played right side of midfield against Wexford and his pace was blistering, caused all sorts of problems so he could be an option instead of Zambra, Daire Doyle could also slot in centre mid

Would take a draw out of this myself. I would go 4-1-3-1-1!!!!!!!! No matter what happens we will here the ref a few times this season and Sir Devo telling us we should have won every game we played!!!!!

Ohh i do like to be beside the seaside!!!!!

Great start to the new season, early 3 points is always positive.. Daire Doyle ran his socks off in the first half, a bit surprised that he was taken off during second half but i'm sure he was knackered.. Danny o Connor and Kevin Knight also had good performances... I thought Gary Dempsey was playing very high up the field, not his usual position, but this did work well last week against waterford so lets see how it goes.. Well taken goal by Jayo and another great cross and performance by Marty.

Shane o Neill showed his speed again, cant understand how he got booked when he was taken down, looked like last man to me.. We stood back during the last ten minutes and gave shels too many chances... but its only the first game and its 3 points,, well done to all..

Lads did any of you manage to get a programme last night. I need the squad numbers for Bray, any help would be very much appreciated.

Bray don't generally use squad numbers, just 1-11 for the starters on the night.

Bray do have squad numbers- same as all premier division teams are required to have.

[KK77]

I thought it was fairly tight until the ref sent off the Shels player. Shels as you would expect struggled to make an impact then and we eventually got a good goal. For some unknown reason we then decided to sit back and got lucky that Shels didn't score. Didn't expect a win so great start.

Right, we never used to, or at least they never corresponded with the shirts the players actually wore. How recent is that?

Good call on the 4-1-3-1-1!

Good call on the 4-1-3-1-1!

We didn't play that formation on Friday though...

Thanks!

It looked to me like the 4 at the back with Zambra in front of them, three in the middle with Dempsey playing just behind Jay...
