I be interested to know how TC faired out tonight, tactics, substitutions, etc...perhaps a few of the lads can fill me in whenever they get home...

ooh god...dont get too much into the result the performance was terrible..but we did have only 10 men for the most part!!
played wes...LEFT!!. lester middle with fitzy and keane right...and had o'halloran in the middle!!!...would have made more sense to sitch wes with lester and lester with greg.... decided to play cookie on the right... was a waste of a player really!!.... robson played in the middle with lester and done ok!
i missed our first because it was right after drogs 2nd and i was in bits and wasnt looking so cant comment on it!!... our 2nd was a fluke it was a cross frm derek and the goalie punched it into the net without any pressure on him...was comical really!!!.
basically the players saved tony again wouldnt put it doewn to tactical genius.... his initial team and tactics put us 2-0 down.... and was a freak we managed 2 at the end as we barely applied any pressure!!
Not putting too much emphasis on the performance, I say we just had a bit of grit and luck in the end...Drogs could have taken the foot off the pedal with the game in the bag...
That's a bit of a harsh post gilberto.
We didn't deserve a point but I think tactically Cousins got it about right. We'd frustrated Drogheda for 70 minutes without them getting any clear cut chances. Wes was terrible at left back and Cooke isn't good enough for the Premier at all but Drogheda had won 7 of their 10 home games this season and are easily the best team in the league so we were always going to struggle with a few players missing.
I thought Robson had a good game and Keane did v well in the second half and fair play to the players for not giving up as when they got their second I was sure it was all over.
To say the players got Cousins out of a hole is a joke and I'm sure you've been posting on other threads about how the players haven't been pulling their weight. Losing at home to Bray and Waterford are terrible results but only Drogheda have a better away record than us this season. Once we get our first home win of the season I'm sure more will come.
is that true????Quote:

Our away form is remarkable, all that is need is a couple of wins at home, and who better to kick-start that against than Sligo?
If J.C. said its True. Gilberto doesnt even explain why Tony picked the team he did.
We were missing Regi and John Russell from the UCD Game so obviously he had too make 2 changes and rather than push Wes back in centre half where he has struggled lately he put him left back moved Lester back to Centre Half where he had a stormer with John Fitzgerald (mom and best signing we have made) and pushed Keano to Right Back. He moved Greg O'Halloran to Center Mid where he had a great game and brought Cookie in Right side.
We were under the Kosh even with 11 so it was no surprise that he left Glynn plough a lone furrow when O'flynn was sent off and placed two solid banks of four which dealt with everything Drogheda threw at them until they pushed Shane Robinson out wide and got the breakthrough and then Tony Introduced Vinny Flah for Wes and tried to sneak a goal Drogheda scored again and then we fought like tigers and got our reward.
We created chances throughout and Lester,Murphs,Glynn,O'Brien and Lester all went close so dont believe the biased reports from Drogs Fans in the Mirror and Star today. We got a fantastic result and everyone deserved it Tony,The Players and the 50 odd fans who still showed belief even when 2 goals down with 10 men away to the Title Favourites.
to the best of my knowledge i havent actually, go dig it up before ya go making accusations!.... even if someone did say that before that doesnt make sense that they couldnt pull it together at any stage!!.Quote:

Jesus Wept we must have the hardest to please fans anywhere. I was getting texts from all over the country last night conratulating GUFC yet we still have our own moan club going strong.
I don't think anyone is moaning. Everyone must be thrilled at taking a point from Drogheda, it is just they are making the point that it wasn't deserved. Not deserving a point and not being thrilled to get one ar two completely different things. I don't deserve to have a massive schlong, but that doesn;t mean I am not thrilled to have one ;0)
it would have been 51 except .....Quote:
