Shels away

[pineapple stu]

An interesting game (I won't call it a vital game because I still don't believe we're good enough to last the whole season at the top).

Shels have won five out of five, just like ourselves, but they've won each game by a single goal and they haven't played anyone particularly decent, waterford aside. Single goal wins over Limerick (who haven't done anywhere near as well as I'd thought they'd do pre-season), Mervue, Monaghan and Wexford show consistency, but nothing to be worried about. Can we get something here?

Depends how our defence holds out. I think our midfield is good enough to get the better of theirs but I feel the lack of a defensive minded player will see them create as much chances as ourselves. Dineen is defensive mid- maybe he will come in for this. Should be an interesting game- not too sure if I will be able to make it though.

Our defence should be ok - one freak goal and one sloppy 93rd minute goal is all we've let in. Agree Finn and Bolger (is he back?) isn't the most balanced though. Or Creevy, for that matter. Good enough to take control against the bottom half teams; not sure about those pushing for promotion. Thought is was our problem area against Fingal (they were just too bad to take advantage on the day)

Might go to this on Friday. Any idea how much Shels are charging this season for students?

Creevy's gotta start

Creevy's gotta start

Why? He's hardly set the world alight in the three games that he's played. He's doing fine but if we need a more defensive minded player in midfield he's going to be the one sacraficed (if we are going to stick with 4-4-2).

[Poor Student]

I don't know if it's the lack of options, not rating the opposition or just his philosophy on how the game is played but Russell has lined up with an attacking midfield pairing in all five games. It will be interesting to see if he lines up with this attacking 4-4-2 in Tolka. I think Mahon was guilty of respecting the opposition a bit too much last season, I'd like to see us go for this one.

Looking forward to this as we are playing well and Shelbourne are starting to get 'cabin fever' in this Division. I missed our last league game, but am delighted with our performaces in the previous four.

Is Rusty still looking for his best eleven? as I see him making the odd change here and there for the next while as he gives other squad players a chance.

Well our team as been pretty settled so far, most of the changes have been forced apart from bringing Brennan into the line up. Will be interesting to see if Timmy goes into the team- Dave McMillan has been doing quite well.

Could someone email me the first XI from tonight over the weekend please?

MacMillan has to start. I think Timmy is a better player but Dave has earned his place in the team.

10er.

Is Timmy match fit? Training's one thing, but a 90 minute match is another.

We've shown we'll keep with a winning team to an extent (keeping Evan on the bench for a couple of games until he made himself impossible to ignore); I'd imagine the same will apply for Timmy.

6 out of 6 now. Sounded hairier than the scoreline but this is a serious start to the season.

What was the team by the way?
