So what's the story?
Leo and Dessie in charge anyway.
How's Brush? He looked rightly banjaxed at the end in Terryland.
How about the lads who were ineligible last week - Arcaba, Bajdziak, Manson and Vasas?
Anyone know anything?

1]yes
2] dont know..could the guy that was on the bench last week cos as you say banjaxed indeed
3]dont know...they are hopeful...manson is i think

Jink's stand and half of the railway end will be for Derry fans. Tracey Avenue stand and the other half of Railway end will be for Rovers fans.

have a feeling that it will be a very poor atmosphere, from the home section anyway, away games this season will always be better IMO

Is this something that's just going to be accepted, or is anyone willing to do something about it? Unfortunately, I can't get anywhere near Sligo this weekend, but seriously lads, how long is this fatalistic "There's no atmosphere in the main stand" going to go on? Whose ground is it anyway?

SligoBrewer

15/03/2007, 10:00 PM

right...congregate far side of the new stand at the back for those who wish to create an atmosphere?

Good stuff. We know from the away match experience that it's not the numbers that count. If a couple of hundred get in there and behave like you're at an away match (for a lot of people, that's what being in the Treacy Avenue stand will feel like anyway :) ), you should get a right racket going. See if you can bully the stiffs into joining in as well. They might even find they enjoy it.
If you think you'll have difficulty getting into the mood, you could always hire a minibus, buy a few crates of Dutch Gold and spend the morning driving laps of Lough Gill.

Wish I could be there. :mad:

I think Derry will be a good test for you see where you going this season .

yeah sure it will. :rolleyes: derry hammered us all but once last season and we still finished 5th. one game (esp against top teams) isnt going to define your season. unless your expecting to break top 4 which we arent.

I had a dream about the game last night(although it was played in the Brandywell). We took an early lead through Raf. It was a kick out for Forde in the Derry goal and he had it at his feet and was gonna play it along the ground but Raf went in and challenged him and won the ball and kicked it slowly across the line. Derry equalised a few minutes later though. McHugh lobbed the keeper who was well off his line. Then I woke up so don't know how it finished:D.

Well...Derry were really a class above us toay in fairness...We showed some decent promise at the start, but fizzled out...Derry first goal was good, and Brush could possibly have done better with the second, but in saying that, good penalty save....

We need to get an atmosphere...

derry were better than us, i agree.
nice penalty save,

i must commend the lads though on giving 100%

faz imo, has stepped his performance and commitment up hugely. well done

for 20 minutes or so...he was decent though...

Wasn't a great performance at all. Manson looks an alright player. As for Faz, what was he at up front? He's afraid of the ball. Time for him to go I think, not up to standard, he's gone beyond a joke now. Choice done very well when he came on. Should have started up front instead of Faz in my opinion. Turner looked very good going forward and I'd like to see him on the wing against Longford. Kelly and Coleman also did well when they came on.

Deserved red for Rogers too, very dangerous tackle. Fenlon had no right to complain.

17/03/2007, 5:23 PM

manson played well, as did raf.

any news on gary curran?

17/03/2007, 5:54 PM

did derry bring much of a crowd?

SligoBrewer

17/03/2007, 6:06 PM

eh.. the blue stand was half full with derry support.

sligoman

17/03/2007, 6:57 PM

eh.. the blue stand was half full with derry support.More than half full, nearly 3/4 of it was Derry fans, including the few down the Railway End.

17/03/2007, 7:29 PM

i think coleman deserves a start next wk, he was excellent today. not having a recognised striker caught up with us 2day. acceptable performance overall IMO but a good bit of sloppy sh*t too. longford are a bit of a mess(particularly at the back) so i think we should beat em if we can create a bit more than we have in 1st 2 games.

any1 know when judge will be fit?

any1 know when judge will be fit?

He's been training for the past 5 or 6 weeks in England and went over on his ankle first day (Thursday) back training with us but nothing serious. So his fitness levels should be ok i would think. Was back in England today due to a family bereavement.

I reckon Derry are no great shakes, they looked a better side in the Showgrounds last season, definitely gave them too much respect. Rovers were better 2nd half, nothing up front.

sligoman

17/03/2007, 8:35 PM

Things are bad when we're wondering when Judge will be back:o.

avvenalaf

17/03/2007, 11:02 PM

Don't underestimate Longford. I saw them against Pats and they were away better than Galway. Mooney up front is very useful and Rutherford still has a lot to offer but the centre of their defence is poor, especially on stuff coming from the wings - if we had a striker to get on the end of anything.

no real cutting edge. never looked like scoring really. derry never created an awful lot either though! turner again was excellent, jamie done well i thought too! ogrady worked hard, his passing needs improvement though. manson looked ok on the ball, will take time to setlle fully, dont get on his back yet, id say he's the type that would go under if he started gettin stick! Faz done well at times, raf gave his usual display never gave up. choic and coleman done well when they came on also! just lacked something in the final third, cant fault them for commitment though

Can`t believe nobody has mentioned the impact of the pitch on the game?

New or otherwise it is an absolute joke & verged on being dangerous.

Impossible to play the ball at pace on the deck.

did derry bring much of a crowd?

I counted the blocks of seating derry filled in the jinks avenue and id say it was nearly half full with 10 fellas down the railway end. Id say 350-400 wer down.

Derry were far better, no comparison. We never once looked like we would score, nothing up front but still the lads gave alot of effort and did their best out there against 1 of the favourites for the league.

the only thing about Turner is he tends to want to play too much football in defensive positions, he got caught once to twice agains Derry but it has been happening last season. Guess thats what you get for putting a midfielder in the full back position.
I would prefer to see him in the midfield with Connor.

Only1Rovers

yea Coleman should start left back. He looks like he could be a fantastic attacking left full for the future. Saw him against UCD in Belfield last season and was impressed by he looked great thudder day. It would allow Turner back into midfield with Conor. If Conor is suspended for Longford, Coleman will have to start. All things considered I was pleased with the performace on Satuday. Pictch is SHOCKING tho:eek: . How could it possibly be so bad!!!!!

If the attendances go down we should up sticks and play in McSharry, at least the players will have an oppertunity to play football on a prober surface.:o
