Great start to the season for galway, top of the table, good start for us also two clean sheets, lets hope for another clean sheet and maybe a few goals. I think eddie has to change something up front..

We have been pretty much playing a 4-5-1 this season so it's hard for Byrne upfront on his own, if we stick to that system then it would be even harder for Mulroy or Kelly considering their height.
Personally i'd stick with the same side, it's worked ok so far so no point in changing it really. We have been really unlucky not to score in both games so far and it's not as if we are not creating chances.
But your right, Galway have got off to a flyer. Brilliant start for them and seeing as they were our bogy team last season i think we will be up against it on Friday night, very tough match for us.
Eddie will have to change it, Paul Byrne suspended for Galway game.Quote:

For us, Dave Cooke returns from injury but I'd say he'll only make it onto the bench. John Russell and Johnathan Keane are still out.
I read in a paper today that there will be a scout from west ham for tomorrows match looking at jay o shea..Quote:

Yeah, apparently they watched him during the Pats match aswell. They're supposed to be sending their chief scout over this time.Quote:

Take it easy on yourselves.............you may not have scored but you haven't conceeded either. Obviously my heart says a win for us but I would be content with a point. I fear this one more than last weeks.
Just hope the pressure of the transfer talk and scouts doesn't get to Jay for his own sake.
I'd have to agree with you there, i think your ladas are a little over the top. Bray have never been a free scoring team , we have always struggled to find the net consistantly over the years BUT we have always been a hard team to play against and have done well for the past 5 seasons proving our worth in the Premier. This season we have played 2 and drawn 2, no goals scored and none conceeded, but it's not as if we hav'nt created any chances, in both games we have created the better goalscoring chances and hit the post and bar in both games, we have also finished the stronger team in both games.Quote:

Scouts have been looking at Jay for the past year and a move to Derby fell though. If anything all the attention and talk has made Jay step his game up to a completely new level so i have no doubts that a scout from West Ham would put him off his game at all...
Foster should do a 'keely' and keep o'shea on the bench to wade of any intrest in him!!!
That would suit us nicely anyway!!!!!
Hopefully there will be a decent home crowd at the game. Although I'm not holding my breath on that one....
Is East Coast FM carrying any commentary?
Galway Bay are a bit hit and miss. Often end up talking bogball in the studio instead of covering the match.
I don't think so but never too sure.
I was hoping to have the match tracker set up but trying to get my site sorted first and work being what it is took priority.
Where do you start.. we loose our main striker in the first five minutes, then we are one down, paddy gets a great header one all. Another goal against us through bad defending then paddy goes off and its not half time.
Second half we played much better,ok we did'nt play that bad in the first half but there was an improvement, massey defended ok but then passed the ball to galway every time..
Hand ball from a fantastic strike with five minutes left, up steps gary who was having a good game anyway and it's 2-2.. Can't see why the second penalty was awarded to us but i won't argue, up steps gary again and the goalie saves it..Fair play to gary for stepping up again but there will always be questions, why gary again, why the same side again..
But we came back in the second half, deserved the point and we could have got all three.. good fighting spirit in the second half and we held galway, the league leaders.. and still undefeated..
Any updates on the 2 lads??? Why did mccabe hit it in the first place?? i know he scored but just shows the lack of set piece takers we have since cawley left
Second pen was for a foul by Davoren on McCabe on the far side.
McCabe took it because, I'm guessing, he scored the first one. Can't fault him really. He went the same way but loads of people will do that.
Thought McCabe had a cracking game for us. Defo our MOTM.
