Winner takes all tonight. There just seems to be more fight about Bray and Drogheda. They're under no illusions about their positions, whereas I still think some of our players are. Hopefully we can match Bray in this regard and come out on top.

This is an even bigger game than Derry in the cup, nothing but 3 pts tonight , this game will decide wheather we have a chance to stay up or not.
Why bother going with that negativity ?Quote:

But really at the end of the day, we have the bigger budget, bigger squad and full time set up. We should be beating teams like this now imo.
heading out the door soon, massive game for the club. never feel too confident going bray, but we should win tonight. Just hope its not guna be like galway, on a slight high after our win v pats and then total muck on the night.
tonight we either turn the corner and get out of this or we go the other way. win or bust, no draw wanted
If we can't beat a team of part-time kids then we don't deserve to be in the Premier Division, there are no excuses for not winning tonight
Hopefully we can get the three points tonight, it's time we copped on because we can't afford to keep slipping up with games running out.
Going to be a tough one as Bray and Drogheda will relish these games against the "fancy" boys , we need to show a bit of fight without getting red cards and keep the ball down as its always windy down there. Hoping for a 2-1 win with Raf and blinky on the scoresheet really hope Ventre doesn't go airbourne in his tackles tonight.
According to RTE website Keane is doubtful for tonight, any news on him?

Just back. Not a great display and got all we deserved. Thank god for Cretaro, took his goals well. Peers came on for Cremano in the second half, he made one great tackle when they were in on goals and then broke down and was carried off on a stretcher. Disaster, the defence is jittery to put it mildly without him.
Boco & Raf played well, Doyle was pretty good in the first half, Blinkhorn got zero service but worked hard. Apart from that it was average. Brush is looking shakey these days.
The game passed O'Grady by and he was replaced by Ryan who wasn't much better. What we wouldn't give for a bit bite that the likes of Chris Turner can proviide in there.
Bray are poor enough but work hard and are well organised by Gormley, that said they look certainties to be relegated.
Oh FFS :mad:.Quote:

How the hell can we not do the basics and close out a game? Camano was terrible. Rare to see a centre half taken off but he was having a nightmare. We haven't time to coach the lad the basics of defending. How this guy is earning a living, yes a living, playing football is a mystery. Peers had to come on and he was outstanding. He was on the end of two particularly tough challenges but when he went off he appeared to be holding his head. Maybe concussion.
We were okay in the first half. I hate to say it but O'Grady wasn't at the races. Maybe nursing an injury coming into it but never imposed himself. We looked proper relegation fodder I'm afraid all in all. Cue the excuses but Paul Cook has to teach his team how to defend as a team. Do they even realise what will happen to them next season if they keep this up?
There seemed to be no fight in us to go on and win the game. This will come back to haunt us I'd say.
Wasn't the worst performance, or result I suppose, but we should be winning and outclassing Bray. Disappointed.
Jeez would be amazing if it was not the same injury, if its the same injury you can forget about Peers this season.Quote:

I hope it is a different injury,if its the quad again we're in big trouble. The quad muscle is very hard to get right because its a big muscle,its used for everything,its your kicking muscle so you can't play unless its 100%. Rushing a player back from it is disasterous,can even take up to a year to recover fully. By the way talking about quad injuries in general,not peersy's in particular. I know we're all mad to have him back playing but in the long run it would be a lot better to give him time and make sure he's right before playing.
Ye were the better side tbh. Skippy had to pull us out of the fire on a few occasions with some great saves. That was my first time seeing Cretaro play, he looks like a very good player, ran our defence ragged in the first half, but we did look a better side at the back when Foran came on. Chris Deans had a shocker. I'm not sure if he's back to full fitness yet.
Anyway, long ramble short, I can't see you going down instead of us on tonight's performances. Looks like our best hope is to finish ahead of Drogheda and try and get through the playoffs. We really need to invest in some stronger and more experienced players if we're to avoid the same situation next season.
Lads don't forget we have Bray, Drogs and Galway all have to come to the showgrounds.
Cue Inside man :)
