It’s genuinely mad stuff, never seen anything like the levels of injury prone-ness of the three right backs. The wheetabix club they are. Agree on McClelland being a better option at left back. May well have to be that way against rovers with 3 of the back 4 coming off injured tonight, it could well be the same back four that ended the game tonight playing, which rovers wingers will be licking their lips at you’d imagineQuote:

Should be a big crowd for the visit of Shelbourne next Thursday.
Yeah thought ye were very good once ye got the lead goal and could easily have been a few more only for McGinty. We had plenty of chances early on and going ahead would certainly have helped. Only time we’ve come back after going behind this season to get anything was first game of the season. Hopefully get a few players back/in after the break.
Contender for miss of the season from Pattison very early on
Having seen Dundalk twice in a week now and playing OK, how bad was O’D that he couldn’t win a match with them?!
We still struggle to score (bar 20 mins against Pats)Quote:

I think we will comfortably finish 9th, maybe manage 7th/8th but that will depend on who we manage to get in, in the summer.
Need a Goalkeeper
Davies is prob best full back in league (poor for goal last night)
Boyle is fine
Johnson on loan is gone in July by all accounts
Need a leftback (Walker we signed in summer is up there with worse footballers I've seen play with Dundalk and that includes the first division days)
Benson/Doyle and Keane if he could get fit are fine for the middle
Horgan/Mountany/O Kane/Mahon (out injured) all more than good enough out wide
Gullan is ok and impressed with Kennys cameos but we do need a centre forward
So we need a GK, CB, LB and Striker...very hard to find in the summer but I expect us to finish 9th even without getting them in
I think you'd have to draw the conclusion he had lost the dressing room.Quote:

Strange one I always read Dundalk fans lauding this guy but that's 4 games I have watched him at Tolka he has been awful every timeQuote:

Id like to see him played on the wing if we had fullback cover as he is very effective going forward - im sure he was signed as a wingback.
depends if we have any of our crocked back and even at that they’re likely to be rusty. And we’ve 1 point out of 6 against ye so far.Quote:
