He'll have to start anyway I'd have thought given Sullivan is out.
Firstly, an entertaining game last night in front of a big home crowd. It was far removed from the bores we usually see at the CCS, and largely it was down to two poor defences being on show. Also, the bigger pitch in Limerick lent itself to a good open game. Our narrow pitch (made narrower since the start of the season) often results in congestion and little flowing play.
Anyway, we got away with a point when we were there for the taking. Limerick might well rue those points lost come October. First 30 mins were a shambles, so going in level at the break was a sign that our luck was in. Salmon left in acres of space for his goal after a good header on by Shaw. 2nd half and Limerick were on top again with some great chances, although Shaw missed a good one-on-one (that’s 23 matches without a goal now). Kelly coming on brought much needed urgency. He was roaring at Powell to ensure that he took the free (and not Salmon) that led to Rice’s header. Kaleem could have even won it at the very end.
Hunt made a couple of good saves and centre mid put in a great shift, but overall we were run ragged. ABM didn’t look happy coming off before the hour but his race was run. His lack of physicality, especially against the full-time teams, is costing us and he often gives up possession too easily. All the players/management (except Rice, of course) came over to acknowledge the away fans at the end.
I’d imagine a few changes will be made for Saturday, although Kelly and Doherty are cup-tied. Hopefully Flynn will get some game time ahead of him starting against an in-form Bray. We badly need him back.
We need Flynn and Don back and back firing quick or we are in massive trouble. Give me 10th place now
what has happened to Don now outspoken? would have taken a point considering the circumstances! who was our best player last nite?
Toss up between Gorman and Shaw for me neither were brilliant but at least they worked for the team for 90+ minutes not like most of the others who were missing for large parts of the game, that's my tuppence worth anyway
no point in going into detail you have read it all before
Kevin O'Connor was our best player with Dean Kelly making the most impact in his 15 minute spell or so. He has to start games now if fully fit, fantastic player who will get a red card or two with some of his challenges but at times last night I would have loved to see our lads put a few tackles in the likes of Powell pulling out every week for not even 50/50 balls but 70/30 balls just makes you sick as a supporter
We needed a defender regardless of whether Flynn is fit or not. He was due to be back training this week according to TC last weekend.
Was he not always a left back at Bohs, you're all mad.
He has played a couple of time at centre half and is much better there, not saying he is any good just better there than at left full, he wouldn't be in my squad if I were manager but Cousins seems to love him, he is captain now when Salmon isn't on the pitch, mad
Having said all that he will probably score the winner today in Buncrana
Kev actually took the armband on Monday night.
Sorry my mistake didnt see that
