Black&White, my views on Dundalk last night. Overall, looked more physical and with less flair than last year's team. Is this a Sean Connor trait? Couldn't really break down the 4-5-1 we played against you. Midfield seems to lack pace and penetration with only wide-man (Singh ?) looking as if he could beat a man. Mansaram - good once he gets the ball but looks very static; he could be gobbled up by a centre-half who can dominate him physically. Far less movement from Dundalk up front than from Quigley and Guy who played for Pats against us the previous week. Some good interplay down the right hand side from Dundalk but I don't think Rogers, playing left-full, did much attacking-wise. Bennion hadn't much to do but his kicking from pass-backs was shocking - sliced virtually everything. Summary - good solid physical well-organised side. Good luck with the season.
he wont be there long hes always crippled.Quote:

Quigley and Guy were fine, but watching Irish football over the years, I don't think that any team can really play two up front if neither can win the ball in the air. There is too much back to front balls at all levels of football and Quigley looks less than six foot and Guy less than five foot (joke !)
Guy's also one of the best header of the ball in the league and easily outjumps any centre half he's faced. He's not a striker though and yeah we absolutely need a big man, or at least a gary O'Neill type
Think this guy is great player.Quote:

Glebe North 0- 7 Bohs.
Flodlights, pipe band and 3 trophies on show. Not bad for a friendly with a very helathy turnout for a Martin Finnegan benefit gig. GN sold c.2,000 tickets for the game. Bohs strolled through it and were 4 up at half time.
Owne Heary running the show from the back as usual.
Drogheda 0-0 Shels
Didn't get to the game but heard James Chamber's lined out for Drogheda
Must be hard to make an impact on the Solihull Motors first team alright, no great surprise he's looking at coming back. In all seriousness though Mathews tried to sign him for Longford in 2007 and had verbally agreed a deal but he re-signed with Shels at the last minute. No real surprise he'd have a look if he was coming back to Ireland.
Again tonight:mad:Quote:

Chambers played the last 25 minutes or so. The first pre season game ive been to this year. It wasnt a great game. There were hardly any clear cut chances but it was a decent performance from Shels. The drogs will struggle this season.
Was at that game meself tonight, game was awful, one clear chance all game, Peter Hynes cracking the cross bar from 25 yards out! WHos the big lad that came on near the end that played up front for ye, the hairy one not bisto!Quote:
