Personally, I think Dan deserves a contract. He CAN be class on his day, and with a bit of pressure on to fight for his place, he can get back to what he was. I think he hasn't recovered yet from the first game aginst $hels and those 2 own goals. He was having an off night that game, as any player can, but the 2 ogs turned into a personal disaster which I think still affects his game.
He needs 2 monthss off, and than real hard serious training and mental preparation for ther new season.
Gamble should get the captaincy for a while, he is the type of player suited to the role, though he needs to be a lot more vocal on the pitch.
This Murray business is ridiculous..............okay so he had a dip in form but he is still one of the better defenders in the league and there is no obvious replacement.
Friday night showed that City have better CB resources than anyone - O'Halloran had a stormer, Murray excellent and Bennet on the bench. Any club would want them.
It's the other end of the pitch Dolan should be thinking about.
Granted Murray has lapses in concentration every now and then but I still think he is a very good centre defender and there aren't that many better than him in the eircom league,he still has a lot to offer city imo and it would be a huge mistake to sell him on.
As for bringing back Coughlan,if he's about 5 times better than the last time he played for us,then i'd welcome him back but otherwise I think city should stay well away from him.
:confused: we've more than enough strikers as it is!Quote:

The thought of losing him without at least having someone better signed beforehand is just daft IMO.
hes a liability and will be the cause of a few goals. he cant even kick the ball straight. how many times has he went for a ball and totally miss-hit it or sliced it into the donie ford. how many times have we seen that schoolboy error of hitting the ball across the box.
he hasnt played well at all this(last :D ) season.... everytime he goes near the ball, u sense something could happen cringe
there it is lads,,what most of ye wanted to say ;)
Look the guy was not a great distributor of the ball and he was not so vocal. But he defended solidly enough. So if he loses the captaincy for whatever reason, he loses it. But the way you phrased it, it almost sounds like a disciplinary measure. :eek:Quote:

Is his confidence an issue already? And did Michael Devine lose confidence when the captain's arm band came off him?Quote:

I think it is, but it would become more of an issue if he had the captaincy taken from him.Quote:

According to the Evening Hearld Bohs are 300,000 Euro in debt. Doesn't make fin. sense to sign him!Quote:

IMO while Greg did great filling in for Bennet in drogs games was a mistake to play him against Bohs - can see him badly out of position in run up to Bohs penalty.
he wouldnt cost the world and they've lost about 7 players. they need to sign players and they have to be of a reasonable standardQuote:
