Another big game on Friday, can we get anything from it? the preformances have been getting better and more importantly the results have. Go with the same team as last week if everyones fit, it really seemed to disjoint Bohs and suited us down to the ground.
Looking at this, I don't think we can get anything from it. Unless Derry have an off day, like Bohs did last week.
We have started to get into shape a bit, since Pender's been dropped, but I still feel Derry will be too strong for us.
Is Ger Rowe fully fit, how much pre-season did he miss when frozen out at Rovers?
Team news only mentions Franco, Duggan and Emeika as being doubtful. No word of Rowe.
No i meant in General, he hasnt started like a house on fire. On another note it will be interesting to see what sort of reaction Clive Delaney will receive.
to be honest i hope he doesnt get any reaction. if anyone was offered a full time contract they would prob jump at it. i dont blame him for it. i just didnt like derry's last minute move for him!! Foran has done well recently so hope we can keep hold of him for longer.Quote:

wonder will franco join us in the stand if he is'nt playing!!!!:D
i think its taking rowe a little bit longer to get into his rythem obviously because he missed pre-season but hopefully he'l score soon and come good for us.
I think Rowe has improved over the last couple of weeks. He had to do pre season training with Rovers reserves so was a bit behind the rest of the players at the start. He needs a goal now to kick start his season.Quote:

:cool: :D
thats the match report
Great result. Delighted with the performance. Great performance from Daz in particular.
Great performance, especially in the second half. Derry didn't trouble us much at all. Does anyone know how Duggan is, he had a great game. I was waiting for Delaney to pop up for a corner and get a goal for Derry before he got sent off. Do people on here still want Gormley gone?
Most people didnt in the first place, good run of performances and results now. Well done lads.
Performances have improved. He's turned things around fair play to him.Quote:

But since then we've scored three games running and the performance tonight was the best yet. We beat Harps, a big win, and we picked up points against the big teams. Can't complain with that at all.
One thing I do want to complain about, though, was the treatment of Clive Delaney by the Bray fans. He gave his everything for the club when he played for us. He captained our side greatly and he got vital goals last season. The way he was booed and insulted tonight was a disgrace.
didnt get any text alerts tonight, presume I'll get 3 in the morning :)
Thats football, ye maybe he did serve as great captain but its not as if he was there for a long time and the way he exited, stabbed bray in the back. It's different when a player has been there years and was heralded a hero comes back (ie) Jason Byrne!Quote:

I am delighted, especially for Eddie who is BW through and through. Let's hope the revival keeps rockin and rollin.
I don't condone abusing players. Sure big Clive gave us everything last season and was our best player. But you have to contrast that against the disappointing way he walked out on us when he was needed.Quote:

He had a chance to go to a bigger club and work with a manager he clearly has a good reportoire with. What player wouldn't want to take that opportunity?
He has no previous ties to our club. He was only with us for one season and in the end he's gone back to the team he came from.
The fans should be understanding instead of spiteful.
That sounds like he only wanted to stay with Bray until something better came along. As he went back to Derry makes you wonder why he left in the first place.Quote:
