Wexford Youths Game

It was a fairly poor game again. Both teams looked very nervous in the first half, and Fingal scored at the perfect time, Anto Russell went forward from right back, should have put the ball into the box but lost possession, somehow, considering we never seemed to have many forward, Kirby got the ball with no Wexford midfield in sight and Russell caught up the field, leaving Fingal running 3v3 at the defence, a lot around me thought Zayed was offside when it eventually reached him. If Youths can get the strongest eleven on the pitch they have the potential to be very good, sadly that's miles off at the moment, Breen and McGrath look like they could be the best centre half pairing it the division, they dominated Zayed and Doyle throughout. Our midfield was very disappointing, never commanded the ball and they needed to be on top with so little up front.

Fingal have one of the fattest teams I've ever seen, so many players looked like they were carrying about a half stone, maybe a case of premier division players thinking the first is going to be easy? In the second half Fingal put together a bit more football but they'll need to improve a whole lot if they plan on winning this division.

A win at last ! . Thought the 1st half was woeful stuff with the Youths doing well to put pressure on the ball forcing our lads to go long and lose possession . Goal came at perfect time and the 2nd half was better football . Alan Kirby really shone last night but I thought Robbie Doyle was totally wasted in the wide position - can Doyle and Zayed be effective together ? . The Youths never looked like scoring and there will be bigger tests ahead but great to get the 3 pts and start moving up the table .

not making excuses better team won on the night we created very little going forward but are the plans in place to do something about the pitch.

There was so much sand I should have brought my bucket and spade :D
I realise pitches have to be sanded etc but that was a bit much sand ball did not even bounce true on certain areas of the pitch

Zayed was onside in fairness.
The youths fans wouldnt be at the best angle to be able to tell if he was on or not. I was down that end and he was on.

Yeah in fairness on the video he is onside.

How is the player who was stretched off?
How much does the stand hold while full?

I thought he was on too and looking at the video he's well on. Highlights really show how few good chances there was in the game.
