No one's getting carried away
I don't think we're foolish enough to think we're moan united, more like just be realistic about things. I don't think there was any chance of us beating Longford as they are well ahead of us when it comes to experience. Longford players are playing together for a number of seasons now and the signs are plain to see how they have reaped the dividends. Sean's no fool and that's for sure. In order for us to compete against the likes of teams of Longford's ability we first have to get out of the first division. Every club worth their salt in this division know that. Getting out of it will most certainly be the easy bit (and I'm not implying that it's going to be easy) look at Harps now and they were by far the best team in the first last year. The gulf is huge so we must be prepared.
Which brings me to Saturday's encounter with our friends from Cobh. It's a must win game for us, we have to get our act together in our home games. Our displays away from home have left nothing to the imagination. Our home form is lacking something but a lot of it is down to the manner in which the opposition approach the game. I do believe that sean and co are working very hard on this and it's only a matter of time. Sean Flannery will be a huge loss for us on Saturday as both he and Paul are carving out the type of partnership defences dread. It's the one worry I have going into the game. I don't really see the Cobh boys being a threat to us but it's crucial Sean gets it right when he picks a partner for the mighty McT.
I predict a home win but am not brave enough to predict a score line.
