2017 EA Sports Cup

Fairy nuff so.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of our 19s play on Tuesday; be a good match to give them ahead of the UEFA Youth League.

I'd be expecting a much different match for the semi final but then again Dundalk will have more options for this one with Connolly and probably Mountney back in contention. I'd imagine he would go with Rogers and Gartland for that game.

Massey is only coming back from injury, Grimes did fine tho but he hasn't got the attacking attributes of a Massey. Thought Sean Gannon was brilliant yesterday while we are talking about full backs.

Luke Byrne is poor at left back IMO. left back is Clarks best position, you still get all that attacking flair and the way he tracks back is amazing

Well done Stevie. LOI players don't get the credit they deserve at times.

Thought it was quite an enjoyable match. Good pace to it, but maybe not enough quality in the attacking third, particularly from Rovers. Should be a good game in a couple of weeks now.

Game in 2 weeks is more important, and once Rovers use their intensity wisely, will give dundalk a good game. Price being back at centre half should help, as the 1st goal yesterday was a farce.

Bringing Price back at centre half would be, erm, interesting alright....

Sure he is a youngster at 36 even if not played for a few seasons - perfect for back at centre half! and keep PC content, all these ex Bohs lads in hoops...
