We travel to tallaght on Friday looking for our first ever win up there and despite what happened last time up there this is a very different town team and I'm so so confident.
Bus running and it's unbelievable interest being shown in this trip with the team playing so well so contact me if you want to go.
Should be a big Town following at this one. A rare Dublin away, handy for me anyway.
How many bookings has Pat sullivan, I know it's close to suspension but can't be certain, if he isn't allowed play it will mean a shake up at the back again, with the injuries we have to our left backs and Chris Deans retiring, Havo could move inside which would be fine, but who will play left back or if we don't have a left back who will play centre half, then again maybe he isn't suspended yet.
I think he's due to miss either this game or the next one, probably this one, for five yellows. If we don't add any left sided player by then we could maybe push Jamie across to the left. Rhys/Rice/Salmo could fill in at right back. Or Kevin O'Connor may be able to play left back. I'd rather it be this game than the next one to be honest.
Mister X will surely know, maybe Rice could play centre half, I'm pretty sure when he was signing for De Town I read somewhere that he filled in there for Shams sometimes, I might be mistaken though
He played right back with Bohs anyway as far as I can remember , not sure about centre half. Either way if it's true about this injury of his then he shouldn't be expected to have to fill in for someone out of position. Tony should be trying his best to get his hands on a left back.
We missed the Roddy Jr. boat and all :P
Think he can play there alright but if he's fit it's better to have him in midfield. TC was saying on the radio it was some sort of a back injury that they just had to keep an eye on and assess him week to week to see if he's right. They weren't going to rush him back.Quote:

Only just thought if we are stuck we could play Hynes at centre half big lad good in the air, keeps the ball well and can pass, problem solved
Rhys will play centre half on Friday. O'Connor will play in the middle and between one of two out the wing if Rice isn't fit.
Hynes did have a nice touch for Sully's goal on Saturday night tho. Maybe he should have a free role.
Eureka!!Quote:

Mulhall, Havo, Flynn, KOC
Don, Salmo, Ricer/Rhys, Etanda
Sully and Shaw
glen is injured listening to tony on shannonside the other evening
With the way the Rovers B team played in June, we could put out any eleven and we would beat them. They really have fallen off of late.
Glen was definatley limping badly when he was going up into the stands on Saturday
you seem very sure about Rhys, can't see that myself judging on his 2 showings at centre half in the play-offs last year,Quote:

Glen is out for a minimum of four weeks anyway, as for rice hes going to have to pick which games to play in between now and end of season as he wont be 100% so id be very sirprized if he plays any part agaisnt rovers BQuote:

Apperantly TC was onto most the prem clubs looking for a left back so id say we will have signed someone by the weekend
