Q. Now that we have signed Paul Browne, who do you think should be up front for Rovers?
i wana to see him in a competitive game first!
I think you all know who I want to see playing. Do I really have to say who I want dropped? :D
Cant drop Saint Paul and Browne looks real good, maybe better than Sean.
i dunno how any of ye could have browne ahead of flannery based on 45 minutes of a friendly. sean has done very well this season and id be surprised if sean drops him in favour of browne straight away.
I'm very excited with the signing of Paul Brown. He's got everything required and I'm very confident thathe'll do a fab job for the Rovers. I still believe both McTiernan and Flannery will do the job for us and between them score enough goals to get us out of the first division. Brown will add another dimension to our play and I've no doubt he'll break the heart of every defender in this league. The question is where to play him.
Having seen all teams perform this season and realising that the majority are liable to sit back and try to stiffle our game, then on that evidence I'd play the three lads up front. The two big lads with McTiernan sitting in behind them bouncing on the loose ball, he'd be the scourge of defences and we'd be winning games by the bagful of goals.
No way! 4-4-2 formation is working well for us. No question about it. I dont think 3 strikers up front would work at all.Quote:

he can't drop sean flannery now.obviously mct won't be dropped but i think brown should have to bide his time.sean has been outstanding and does not deserve to be dropped.spring brown from the bench to start with and see how he's getting on.if he's doing well and is better than sean then fair enough we can start him then.but it would be very unfair on sean if he was dropped straight away and i hope it doesn't happen.either way having the option of brown or sean to come off the bench is great news for rovers.
p.s. i think sligoman has a personal issue with sean flannery!
p.s. No I dont!Quote:

Everyone said we needed a striker and we've got him, so now we'll have an extra option from the bench, as i still think manager will play 4-4-2. Think browne will prob start on the bench to begin with, and i'd say a degree of rotation will come into it. Flannery has done a great job so far. In Kilkenny he look tired and having Browne in will benefit Sean and Paul as they can be rested here and there if needed and not be under pressure to play every game regardless of them being tired or even injured. Should be a good game on Saturday, 3 points a must.Quote:

Also remember Browne is a goal scorerer and seems quite nifty on his feet so it may not be and automatic case for McT and Browne.McT is a speed merchant but as we all know a bit rough around the edges in finishing so Sean may complement Browne also...
One thing for sre we will probably have te strongest bench in the division..
have not seen Paul Browne play yet so too early to vote. however the variety of a useful lad with height, who can not only score goals himself but who can put himself about and act as provider and target man for those coming in behind him can cause real damage in the opposition's defence. a bit like Gilzean a few years ago. Hopefully Browne will provide us with real options to vary our attacking play.
im just deighted that in my opinion we have 3 strikers that will be able to cut it at the top level next season (browne,mc t,flannery) maybe alvarez might turn good yet.. :D
