Good to see the traffic didn't delay Conan too much today.

Conan Byrne

Darren Quigley

Conor Sammon

Quigely's has been the best so far.

Sammo obviously doesn't like sitting on the fence

[Poor Student]

Ironically, did the header joke go over Sammo's head?

He jumped for it, but missed.

What would your team be for sundays crunch game! the real big decision seems to be 1 or 2 up front!!! i really hope we see this:

Quigley

Mahon
Kenna
McDonnell
Bermo

Conan
Finn
King
McWalter

Sammo
P. Byrne

I no alley mc will play but that is the team i would choose!! i think tony mc will play in centre mid and paul byrne will be on the bench, there is that concern of no physical presence if its finner and kinger in the middle of the park! thoughts?

McNally has to start- without doubt our best player this season.

I'd be very surprised if Paul Byrne starts. Only has 70 minutes of competitive action in the past 3 months- he's not match fit. He has to be on the bench though in case we're chasing a goal.

I'm very worried that Hynes might start. He actually looks like an alright player when he tries but he just doesn't seem to give a ****. With no other viable options upfront there's no choice but to play Finn behind Sammo. It was interesting to see that in the second half against Bohs Conan went upfront and Kinger right wing. Both players had quiet games as a result so I doubt Pete will try that again. Looks like Tony has to be in the team so...

GK Quigley
RB Mahon
CB Kenna
CB McNally
LB Bermingham
RM C Byrne
CM Tony Mc
CM King
LM McWalter
FW Finn
ST Sammo

EDIT: **** it, go with Hynes and hope he tries...

Hynes over Tony?!

Don't think 4-4-1-1 would suit against a team like Longford. It's best when we're up against it, like against Derry or Cork. Have to take the game to Longford.

But if we don't play 5 in the middle, Tony will be starting on the bench and that would be sacrilege!

I know - what do we do?!

It's Tony - just play 12 men.
