Much as everyone would prefer a focus on attacking football whenever possible, there are times when parking the bus not only becomes a priority, but unavoidable, and playing a team who've scored thirteen goals in their last two games is certainly one of those occasions! That said, the arrivals of both Matt Connor and Ewan Lee have definitely shored up our defence considerably, with three clean sheets and just two goals conceded over our last five matches. Colin Healy has confirmed that both Ronan Teahan and Seán McGrath will be available for selection on Friday, while if Seán O'Connell takes to the field at all, he will become our second centurion (incidentally, the Longford match was our 100th league game). Discipline will be crucial if we're to pick up a point on the night, with Kevin Williams' dismissal last week our sixth of the campaign, which hardly does much for our reputation in that regard among the rest of the division.
