I reckon SK will be going with a full 'squad' and wont include any u-19 players this time around.What team he starts with is anyone's guess but i'd reckon he'll make a few changes from Monday nights start xi and rest a few to the bench.Quote:

Sure to be a few upsets.
I fancy Drogs in Derry at 7/2 and Bray in Dalymount also at 7/2.
Cockhill v Longford draw sure also 7/2(BoyleSports) not bad.
Initially I thought SK might go with only 4 or 5 first teamers for this cup game, but I'm now thinking he will go close to full strength.Quote:

heading to Dalymount tonight, I think Bohs can stick a few past this Bray defence, just depends whether they can keep it tight at the back.
Unless the people of Buncranna are extremely interested there won't be anything near that at the game we are bringing minimum away supportQuote:

You'd be surprised. There'll be a good home crowd at it. Lot of Ulster Senior League people heading up to watch. Weather will play a part though, if it's a crap day, there'll be a crap crowd, if it's a good day, there'll be a big crowd at it.Quote:

We're on a bad run due to injuries and suspensions but our team tonight will be ok - probably only missing 3 starters - so looking at our early season form an upset isn't totally out of the question.
Can't make the Galway game tonight. Hope for the best but can't see any joy for the home side with all the injuries and on a bad run as well. Again a lot depends on how strong a team Kenny puts out, as even in the league cup game they probably shaded it with just 2/3 regulars.
Telly for me, so hope for good game down in Cork. 3-2 home win maybe
I expect Kilduff, Maguire, Meenan, and Shields to start. However, I wouldn't expect the younger lads who played in the league cup to play.Quote:

Dundalk -2, Sligo -1 double
Derry, Longford double
Sherriff to beat Athlone too wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibilities at present either.
Sheriff are favs in that match,been a while since i've seen that.Quote:

Jaysis...you'd swear they had to travel to timbuktu. It's not that far. Only an extra hour from Ballybofey.Quote:
