A must win game surely, a chance to leap frog Derry maybe and put a bit of light between us and the bottom half. Whats the news on franco?

indeed, that would leave us with fox and franco or fox and o'shea. Not too worried as our midfield is quality at the mo in my opinion.:ball:

I know franco took a knock against Galway, not sure if he is out or not for friday, Foxy and O Shea probably.

Or Foxy and Broderick. With all respect, you wouldn't want to bet on O'Shea scoring right now.

With the way the lads are playing at the moment I think anything less than 3 points is a let down. Longford are very poor this year and we should beat them.

EDIT - Very vague news on the two lads here (http://www.eleven-a-side.com/eircomleague/irish_soccer_detail.asp?newsid=28604)

Apparently Longford "dominated" the second half tonight against Sheffield United. Hopefully they wore themselves out while they were at it. :D

Friday is going to be very tough - Dunphy gone for 4-6 weeks, Franco, Daz really struggling to be fit. Caffo, Tyrell defo out through injury and Duggo suspended. Broderick had a boot smashed into his face in the U21 game on Sunday morning so will be out as well.

Longford are playing ok at the moment and picked up a big win last weekend and apperantly should have beaten Sheff Utd last night. They have players who can turn the game on their own so i would be a bit warey especially seeing as we have so many players missing.

No he wasn't involved in the Galway Squad last week. He had pretty much left the club at that stage

Nope...

Galway United: 1 Gary Rogers; 2 Regilio Nooitmeer, 5 John Lester, 4 Wesley Charles (c), 3 Philip Reilly; 7 Barry Moran, 6 Shaun Fagan, 10 Alan Murphy, 11 Derek O'Brien; 9 Vincent Faherty, 8 Derek Glynn

Subs: 12 Daryl Robson (for Fagan 76), 13 Shane Tracy, 14 Ciaran Foley (for O'Brien 52), 15 Alan Gough, 17 Cathal Fahy (for Flaherty 76)

it might have been Glynn, very similar build as James.

must win.

even with all those players injured we still have a strong enough squad. if i was the manager i'd pick: williams, kenny, delaney, deans, cronin, kavanagh, cawley, hurley, mccabe, fox, franco (if not fit o'shea). eddie will prob play gough instaed of kenny though :(

hopefully everyone will get behind the team and i hope a decent crowd turns up. havent heard anything all week about the match - which is a shame.

It was so frustrating to watch. A bit more end product (I hate that saying) and we would have scored. Apart from there period at the start, the only had breakaway chances and they still scored 3 goals. Shocking defending all night long. And nobody was able to create a clear cut chance, although Kenny missed two open nets.

Only good point was that the young lad got a goal late on. Otherwise it was a poor performance by all involved.

Me and SDG were in the Hibo afterwards and Eddie, Keith and Tarz looked pretty ****ed off and fed up, especially Eddie. Hopefully he gives the lads a good kick up the arse cause that was simply not good enough.

:rolleyes: excuse me for giving an opinion on a game. i did think we would win comfortably, and i was nice about it. Could have said we should ''hammer that shower of ****e bottom of the table'' but i didn't:)

Don't know where that performance came from following on from what has been good-to-watch football over the last few weeks! needs to be sorted out.

As I said to Superfrank after, every season has to have a low-point. If this is our low-point, and hopefullt it is, then we'll have had a good season.

I don't like criticising the lads but there was some really carp defending, and in terms of our attack we should have scored more than one goal. We definately seemed to miss the absentees, but that was still very dissapointing:(

Agreed, even though this was probably our worst preformance of the season we still should have scored more than twice. We had a serious amount of chances to take something from the game but it was a case of not turning up on the night.

Having 7 players missing was always going to really hurts, it the lack of depth in the squad.

I wonder was it a lack of depth in the Bohemians squad last night as well. We are not finished yet lads no matter what ye say!

Well now I was'nt at the Bohs game last night so I could'nt comment on it. But even if ye win every game for the rest of the season 5-0, we still did'nt perform very well in the Bray-Longford game last week.

You definately deserved the 3 points against us, ye were the better team and won:ball:

Obviously we were dissapointed to lose, as we should be, you should rarely, if ever, be content after losing a home league game to anyone.
