Shels v Limerick

I think Peter White playing in midfield was a big part of why we played better lastnight then we have teh 4 games before it...He isnt the best going forward but he doesnt need to be his job is to break things up and he did that brilliantly 1st half after that all he needs to do is give it to one of the forward lads id definitely keep him in there.

What a differene from last year with the full backs Frost and Tracy looking very good ....Both solid at the back and helped he winger out with runs all night Corey well able to take people on.

I couldnt understand why we signed Peter Hynes but he has really surprised me has been our best player so far and was our best player lastnight imo.

I think everyone played well last- night except maybe Quinn but then he got the goal at the end so ill forgive him for the poor performance.

O'Flynn needs to cop on after a stupid sending off 1st game the season he gets booked lastnight for having a go at the ref.

Forgot to say last night aswell, but will say it here because we're quick enough to give out when things go wrong but massive credit should go to Pat Scully for the result and performance last night, the main reason for our domination over long periods was the relentless closing down of the opposition all over the pitch and Scully spent hours upon hours drilling that into the team in pre season, Shels didn't have room to fart in the first half.

Well said kid, Scully will get us there this season. Looking good for our return home .

Good point up in Dublin. Sounds like we were vastly improved on the first few games. Hopefully we kick on from here

Next 3 games are very winnable if we play well but if we took 7 from teh 3 then we would be in a nice position going into games against Monaghan and Wateford. Still wont really fancy chances of going up until we finally beat someone that will be up around us...Have to beat either Monaghan or Waterford.


Wexford (H) Win
Mervue (A) Draw
Athlone (H) win

Surely we could get that .

Mervue are far far better then they were last year Cork drew with them and Shels barely beat them in Fahys Field....Anyone that goes to Fahys Field will find it tough this year.

In Rory Gaffney they have one of the best strikers in the 1st division hes too good for the 1st division actually.

Just thinking oh Mervue were **** last year we should be beating them isnt how it works.....Id be happy enough with a point there but if you read the very first thing i said in my post it was that all 3 are winnable. If we play the way we played 1st half in Shels in these 3 games though i think we will get 9 points.

thought it on the night and do even more after the highlights Barry Ryan could have done way better for that goal.

Very similar to the Cork goal. Player comes in on Barry's near post and drives it low and hard into the bottom corner. He really should have had that covered. He also pulled off a great save before that though. Great save by Delaney from Quinns header.

I think id prefer Dave to Barry just dont trust Barry much for some reason.

Great result in Dublin and hopefully kick-start campaign and it might quieten the sky sports junkies who were looking for Scullys head a week ago!!!

Scully will be judged on results and so far things are going well.As supporters we're all entitled to our opinions and many on here were justified in questioning Scullys team selection.The next 3 games are critical for our season as we can kick things off from here after playing probably the 3 hardest away games in the division. Well done to the team for Fridays result.

If we beat Wexford Friday then after 6 games we will have a 100% home record and have only lost one of possibly the three hardest away games in the division...Id have taken that at the start of teh season.


Still need to beat one of the teasm that will be around us the siiner taht happens the better.

Waterford and Monaghan will be tougher away games than Finn Harps unless by hard you mean physical tough team.

We need to win our next 3 league games. I wouldn't take a draw in any of them now.

We're 5th in the table and 2 of the 4 above us (Shels and Monaghan) have had their free week. Waterford are a point behind with a
game in hand. From that perspective we haven't actually started too well but the point last friday will also give great confidence.

Winning games against the teams you'd expect to be in the bottom half rather than drawing them is huge. Cork have already drawn with Mervue and Athlone while Waterford also drew with Athlone. I'd consider all of them to be great news for us so we need to take advantage by winning these games. None of them
will be easy. Wexford will be smarting from losing to Mervue. Mervue away will be very tough and Athlone will be tougher opponeents for us than anyone else but these are must win games.

great result v shels,sets us up nicely for those next three games where no doubt scully will target the 9 pts.
