i'm not just knocking james but he was the worst of a bad bunch,, great to see shane finally getting his first goal, its always the hardest but i think the game got to robbie tonight he did not have a good game at all..
well done to fingal they were no doubt the better team all over the field and could cause a few surprises this year....
Where is the Pablo Rodriguez from?

really poor performance, fingal look like they could score every time they went forward
fingal look very fast and dangerous on the break. we were caught twice on the right hand side with two goals that were nearly identical (dont think eddie will be too happy with that) going forward we once again kept trying the ball over the top for shane to get onto unfortunately didnt work and there wasnt really a plan b. robbie seem to be affected by the slagging he was getting from the fingal fans because he never got out of second gear. ritchie was a bit off the pace last night aswell. however we do need to be patient this team was put together for the first division so patience is the name of the game. on a positive note thought pablo rodriguez put himself about well when he came on.
We looked way too lightweight, Knight was a disaster at left full. Long balls pumped up to O'Neill, what's the point of that? We saw the real Robbie Doyle last night too, that's why he's been hopping from team to team. We need a miracle...Quote:

these lads need time and encouragement to gel together, its only there third match and they where meant to be a first division team.. yes it was a very bad performance but give them a break, at least we are not rovers with huge more expectations..
Well we certainly don't have huge more expectations! We'll only stay up if there's one or two others as weak as we are or another club goes ballistic. Three games, zero points, I'm struggling to see the positives here. But it's early days and I suppose there's hope (of a miracle!).Quote:

rovers finished second last season and this year they expected to be up there with bohs, they only have 1 point from three games,, ok more then us, but i'm sure they have much more expectations than that,, i am not expecting too much from this bray team a few draws or wins in our own mini league.. i'm not looking for a miracle after one bad performance..
Get webster, massey, and Brennan out there . Why cant we try get ball into oneills feet and let him use his pace, one ball to feet friday night and he scores, same as pre season 4 goals 4 games all balls to feet,come on eddie, its not rocket scienceQuote:

not time to hit the panic button!...just yet. we now have a massive game against ucd this week that is crucial we take something from because sooner or later teams like shamrock rovers and drogheda will grab some points and leave us in there dust. i dont want to be harsh on the team but its going to take more than high balls over the top to beat teams and if this is the "performances" eddie is talking about we are in trouble. there are some good players at bray which played some great stuff in the first two games we need to get to playing like that against ucd.Quote:

He needs to toughen himself up a bit and starting working for the team more.
We need experience in the team, its as simple as that, we cannot expect to win games with the amount of teenagers in the team. But take nothing away from Fimngal, they are a very good side, much much better than the one that beat us so easily 3 times last season.
Think you mis-read my post there, Roo.Quote:
