I wouldn't read much into them myself.
I'm just making the point that if the judgement is being made on pre-season games, the last conclusion you'd reach is that we'll be struggling for goals...

When you list your goals like that it appears more impressive that I'd imagined.Quote:

I think ye are quality right up to your front line which appears a bit weak.
Last year Derry came up as 1st division Champs and added a proven premier goal scorer, ye look much weaker that last year up top.
Maybe Purcell will replace Cummins' goals but I don't think he will.
Not having a dig at ye at all, just reckon ye could well play teams off the park and end up dropping points.
Our players know Rovers are a top team and we wont face anything even half that good during the season. Hard to gauge the quality of the squad tho when we don't know what our strongest 11 is yet, and Hughes has been played in goal for most of them but Holden will be No1 keeper, but is suspended for the first game.Quote:

Bring on Friday I say. Teams can finally do their talking on the pitch.

I'd like to think we're half as good as Rovers. :pQuote:
