First XI's

[Sniffer]

With the friendlies all but done and the new stock bedded in what is your team's first eleven now?

[DmanDmythDledge]

Gregg

Mahon Kenna Shorthall Bermingham

Fitzgerald Finn McNally McWalter

Byrne Purcell

Could also go 4-5-1, with Brian King coming in for Purcell.

[gustavo]

I'd guess this is ours right at the moment if all players were fit

Jennings
Coleman Peers Almeida Butler

Murphy Boco O'Grady Doherty

Kuduzovic Judge

[JC_GUFC]

Sligo have no hope with Hugo Almeida in defence...

Rogers

Keane
Fitzgerald
Nootimeer
McCulloch

O'Shea
Deegan
Russell
O'Brien

Leech
O'Flynn

Keane is out injured for the start of the season so Regi Nootimeer will probably play full back with John Lester or Wes Charles playing centre half.

[Brendan]

drogs first eleven could be anyone's guess but here's mine (assuming they were all fit, which they aren't)

Connor

Shelley Gavin Gartland Kendrick

Baker Robinson Byrne Barrett

O'Brien Zayed

[Sonic]

Kelly

O Donnell Bermingham Frawley Casey

Harte Murphy Doyle Davoren

Lynch McAllister

Thats more or less the team Id say!!

[superfrank]

My guess is:

O'Connor; Tresson, Doherty, Foran, Pender; Kavanagh, Cawley, Duggan, Whelan; Myler, Rowe.

[Sam_Heggy]

Injuries have fecked up our back line but ill hazard a guess at:

Gk - Gallagher
Rb - Labonte
Cb - Malcom (in place of Minnock)
Cb - Boyle (Hoping Mukendi is fit but doubtful)
Lb - Holmes
Rm - Funston (could be Breen or Gill if Funston goes in the middle with sheilds)
Cm - Sheilds
Cm - McGowan (maybe Funston, see above)
Lm - Williams
St - Gethins
St - Parkhouse/Beckett (id say Parky will get the nod)

[Boo_Boy]

with the players rovers have when everyone is available a 4-1-2-1-2 isnt a bad option.

....................Jennings....................
Coleman.....Peers.....Almeida.....Butler
......................O'Grady...................
.....Cash/Murphy..........Doherty.........
.......................Boco.......................
.............Judge..........Kudozovic.........

i'd say we'd stick with a 4-4-2 tho,same players just boco & o'grady in the middle.

[Ash]

More than likely ...

1. Ciaran Kelly
2. Ian Rossiter
3. Philly Reilly
4. Nigel Keady
5. Jim Sheridan
6. Levi Tierney
7. Robbie Hamm
8. Davy Byrne
9. Eric Lavine
10. Noel McGee/Dave O'Dowd
11. Jason McCarthy

[bellavistaman]

mcCarthy
Carey Murray Guthrie Meade
Mulconry Barrett Kearney Cummins O'Neill
Reilly

[LeixlipRed]

Delaney
Murphy Brennan Keeley A.N. other
Chambers O'Halloran O'Brien Keddy
Flood Freeman

[holidaysong]

It will probably be:

Bennion
Flanagan, Lynch, Whelehan, Crawley
Duffy, Shiels, Cassidy, O'Connor
Farrell, Martin

I would choose:

Bennion
Flanagan, Lynch, Whelehan, Grimes
Duffy, Shiels, Cassidy, O'Connor
Farrell, Smyth

[LeixlipRed]

How's Robbie Martin done is pre season for you? Former club mate of mine so always follow his progress

[holidaysong]

He has done ok. He hasn't scored though but then again Farrell has only scored one and it was a fluke against Derry.. All our games were against Premier opposition so I wouldn't judge anyone too much until after a few league games.

McCallion....Hutton....Delaney....Gray

McGinn....Molloy....Martyn....McCourt

.............Sammon....McHugh.............

Subs: Quigley, Callaghan, Higgins, Morrison, Farren

[DmanDmythDledge]

I thought Quigley has been given your no.1 jersey and started all the pre-season games? ;)

[Aaron]

He has been given the No.1 jersey but hasnt started all games. And that would be MY first 11, not necessarily Stephen Kenny's

[deecay]

And that would be MY first 11, not necessarily Stephen Kenny's
Hes the best young keeper in Ireland,whos Doherty?

Hes the best young keeper in Ireland,whos Doherty?

Gerard Doherty, played for TNS last 3 seasons. Was with us when he was 18, left for Derby County for £30,000, had a trial with Atletico Madrid and then to TNS. Played against Liverpool in 2 CL qualifiers and had 2 excellent games. Also played against Man City the the UEFA Cup

Urban myth, trial never happened.

[all drogged up]

Considerin drogs aren't all fit

Vilmunen

Shelley Gavin Gartland Kendrick

Baker Keegan Byrne Robinson

Bates Zayed

when they're all fit replace Vilmunen with Connor and Byrne with Barrett. Robbo is legend on the wing - leave Bates on and have fabio and Eamon fight it out for the second striker spot

just my take on it - I've been wrong before and no one pays me to manage a premiership side

[lofty9]

.................Doherty..............

McCallion....Hutton....Delaney....Gray

McGinn....Molloy....Martyn....McCourt

.............Sammon....McHugh.............

Subs: Quigley, Callaghan, Higgins, Morrison, Farren

I know he is out long term but where would a fit Morrow fit in?

[L37Ultra]

My Limerick starting XI would be


.................D.Ryan..............

Padraig Fogerty.....P.Purcell....P.Danagher....B.Gregg

R.Cosgrove....T.Barrett....W.Colbert....S.Tracy

.............D.McCarthy....W.Bruton.............

[KildareFan]

Difficult to say but Kildare's could be something along the lines of

------------------Treacy

Clarke----Brophy---Tyrell------Clancy

Brady ----Donnelly---Slattery---Broderick

-----------Gorman----Robinson

Stephen Cooling and Austin O'Neill are injured, they would probably start ahead of Slattery and Treacy.

I expect Ciaran Kilduff to make a big impact this season as well but I am not sure where he will fit in with gorman and robinson there

gavins not fit yet so I think its more likely doolo will go for
Miko

shelley
Kendrick
Tambouras
gartland

Robbo
Cahill
Hughes
byrne

Zayed
Bates

[all drogged up]

I thought Gavin was just being allowed to cool off and isn't actually injured?! but not sure.

Also Cahill??? Have you actually seen him play?

[Flexy]

I know he is out long term but where would a fit Morrow fit in?

He would definately be in the starting 11, he is class. Id prefer Quigley to Doherty, just probably because he knows the League of Ireland scene better.

[Raheny Red]

How's Robbie Martin done is pre season for you? Former club mate of mine so always follow his progress

Is that the same Robbie Martin who has scored bazillions of goals for Belvo's youth teams?

[LeixlipRed]

It's Robbie Martin who played for UCD and Longford. He played for Leixlip United 2 years ahead of me. Not sure who he left Leixlip for. Could have been Belvo. His younger brother Dave played for them iirc so could have been

[4 in a row]

id say rovers will be

murphy

obrien

magiure
flynn?stapleton

baker
rice
oconnor
murphy
tyrell

purcell

AFAIK gavin is injured, I've seen cahill play and wouldn't pick him myself but i think he'll play
