Waterford (Away)

Have to say im looking forward to this one.

Don't think it will be as easy as it would seem from the result against Wexford but being honest i cant see em beating us.
Talking to lads very much in the know down there and things are not right already 4 or 5 players falling out with the manager that seems to have no control there best player seems to want out already and pre seasons horrible results have continued into the 1st league game.

The RSC is far better suited to keeping the ball down and playing it around then Jackman and has a good wide pitch for Gaffney and Brosnan to cause problems.
There defence seems terrible and if our front 4 play the way they did in the 1st half against Harps i can see them doing real damage.
Paddy and Guthrie both looked very solid against Harps so if the full backs can play a bit better we should be very solid.
Some people will say the Wexford result will be a wake up call but i reckon if that was the case they would have been woken up by the hammerings by Bray and Rovers.


I know this will probably come back to bite me and may seem a bit cocky but i reckon a nice comfortable 3-0 win for us.

I am coming back from Switzerland for this (and other things) so I am obviously looking for a performance. I think Waterford will be on their toes after last week and as it's our first away game I am not expecting fireworks. However, the RSC is a nice venue, the game is a derby, Waterford were terrible last time out and we've got the potential to tear them apart. I will say Waterford 1-3 Limerick. I will be disappointed by anything less than a win.

Usually a dodgy one but even if Waterford show a marked improvement from last week I will still expect us to pick up 3 points.

Every game the team plays together the better the performances I would expect. I can't see it being anything like what Wexford did last week and as most know it would be foolish to expect a high score based on one match. I'll go for 2-0.

Foley has to start up front with behan give him 70mins give sheehan last twenty?

an edgy one nil win with limerick again to have only 6 subs on the bench

1-0 Limerick.

They will be very catious after their 6-0 thrashing last week, so I expect them to sit back early on. If we break them down early on, I would expect a 2-3 goal win but I am going for a late winner to make it 1-0 to Limerick. Foley to score.

IF Limerick score in the first twenty mins waterfords confidence will be shot to pieces we should kick on from there.

All about the early goal, but I don't expect Waterford to collapse either way. I think we will win, a clean sheet would be a good addition also. 1 or 2 nil maybe.

Limerick 2 nil, I wont be expecting an avalanche of goals it's too early in the season

Is there a supporters bus being ran for this and if so can anyone go or do you have to be in the supporters club?

Was asked to let lads know on this. The supporters club bus is full. Was totally booked out as of yesterday.

H/T 1 down according to aertel. Sack the board.

ANother clueless night for scully if he can't get a team of this quality playing well there is something wrong somewhere.

Anyone got a match report? Preferably not from the sack scully brigade. To be fair (and ill probably get lynched for this) it cant be all his fault. From reading the updates, he seemed to make the same subs i would have. Chalk it down as a bad night and move on.

Is the manager up to the task ? The budget available to him must be close to nearly all the other teams in the divison combined. still a long way to go I suppose.

Started well.

Went 1-0 down against the run of play.

Resorted to hoof ball from Barry Ryan and the centre backs for the rest of the half.

Came out in the second half and took over playing a bit of ball.

Hit the crossbar and missed a few chances.

Equalised. Had some more half chances but conceded after a quick free and we were broke on.

Hit the crossbar again and were caught on the break again.

Clueless most the night and Waterford did their job very well.
