So that's another game gone . Like everyone in the ground saw the game was there for the taking as Harps were by far the worst team I have seen this season . I said to myself when we took the lead that this is new scoring first I wonder how long that will last and about 2 minutes is all we got . Harps were a joke at the back and any ball into the box we could have scored , but again after we took the lead we needed to go on and get another but fair play to Parkhurst as it was a cracker of a goal .
Steve and Vinny did very well but ran out of steam why was Derek only given a couple of minutes I am not sure . A lot has been said of Leech but he is a thinking player as he is always looking for the pass into space even before he gets the ball his work rate may not be the best but he can make things happen as Steve and Vinny only seem to be able to hold up the ball . I would love to see Mark score a couple to shut up the boo boys .
Let me say that Kenna's tactics remind he very much of TCs as we are still watching hoofball or is it just me ? Only under Billy did we have the ball on the ground and we passed it around .
Now i said after 6 games we were in for relegation and nothing has changed my mind as I feel we are going down with the Harps ....................
Strange as some people might see it I am not as pessimistic as the majority. I said that the only positive to be taken from Friday's game was that we didnt lose and after last night we are a point closer to Cobh who we play in the next few weeks.
We have to take it one game at a time and concentrate on that game fully starting with UCD next week. I dont know what Jeffs problem with Glynny is or who has influenced his selections but i would hope that he would give him a chance soon to show what he can do. There are one or two players living on their reputations who need to be dropped to get their minds focussed on whats best for the team.We need all the squad willing to go through a brick wall to get a result and cat afford to be carrying passengers or prima donnas.
July is looming and if there are players not pulling their weight im sure they will be moved on as I cant see us being able to afford any new players in without players being let go.
I see a lot of movement in july both in and out. Jeff can see where things arent working (mostly everywhere), and I believe one of the reasons he got the job was because of his links over in england and his contacts within the league here (Scully and Matthews) that will come into use when the transfer window opens. From what I've heard a decent size purse is available to him along with the exit of some players wages that arent making any mark on the field of play.
dont know where the big purse is coming from as we have to be struggling financially big time.
Kenna reiterated on Friday that funds would be made available to acquire new players once the transfer window opens. He wouldn't go into detail on where they'll come from, but an educated guess would say across the water freebies.
but how are we going to pay them? We would want to get rid of 4/5 players and i doubt if we have the funds to pay them off.
Its not as bad as the last time we were in the top flight and fighting relegation.The infamous Dave Connell and his notriously stupid quote after only 13 games "we are going down anyway so im preparing for next season",no player challenged him on that quote.If kenna said the same thing now there'd be a lynch-mob up in Drum the following morning.:).
Im still optimistic though,its funny that derek o.brien was brilliant under T.C but has done nothing under Clery or Kenna whereas with Jay o'Shea its the opposite.
In fairness O'Brien was poor at the start of this season under TC like everyone else, definitely gone down hill this season, very poor.
If the bloody ball was ever played to his feet he could do somthing!!! what games where you watching???Quote:

Didn't mean to offend but not all reports are true. If you are in any doubt look at today's Galway First. On page 39 it says we captured our FIRST point of the season. I hope that's not true.......don't you?
This forum and this thread is like anger management therapy or something,calm down lads.We are 5 points from safety,not 15,not 25,only 5.We havent even started to play well yet or gone on a run,which we are bound to do during the season.Its far from hopeless yet the talk on this forum suggests we are already down or that its October,not May.Yes i was there last friday night and for every other home game this season so i do know what has been going on.
granted this is the GUFC forum, but some of the comments on friday night's game are even more biased than i thought they'd be. You're two goals came from some of the worst defending I have ever seen. Apart from these I didn't see Galway having much threat to the Harps goal. We were extremely nervous at the back, but in Gethins Parkhouse and Williams I felt we were slightly better than galway, attacking wise.
Harps will do extremely well to stay up i can see galway staying up ahead of them they are for sure the two worst teams in the league cobh and ucd have what it takes to stay up.Quote:

What exactly were you expecting people to say in this thread?
I think we can still stay up and it's far from over for sure but there's been no positives at all yet this season bar the appointment of Kenna and the sacking of that other clown.
I wasnt expecting everyone to be positive but the doom and gloom here with people saying we are already down is crazy.So according to people here we should just give up now is it??There may not be many positives but it doesnt mean there wont be,or that its hopeless.
Ya that's true and the points tally to stay up does'nt change either, out of those 23 games we need at least 8 wins and a few draws(5-6), it's achievable but when yopu only have 3 points from the first quater of the season then the prospects of that happening are slim to the say the least, i'd be more confident if it was a ''One Up One Down'' season but with 3 going down and us been clear at bottom by a few points, my confidence would'nt be too high.Quote:

Nah mate, I have a very thick skin, otherwise I wouldn't bother doing it. Thanks for pointing that out by the way. Obviously should have been first home point. My sincerest apologies.Quote:

Now the United defending was pretty bad but Harps I thought were shambolic at the back. In the first five minutes alone United almost scored twice when the ball was flying about the Harps box like a ping pong ball and that set the tone for the evening as regards the standard of defending on show. A better side than United would seriously have scored four or five. Fair play to Harps though. They made the very most of the little possession they enjoyed.
I know its a Premiership thing but....Look at what Fulham done. The positivity is needed on the terraces in order to stop the players from dropping the heads. Having said that July cant come quick enough IMO.
Only 6 league games in total left before july! There are only 2 league games in june. Hopefully we can scrap as many points as possible until then.Quote:

It's up to the lads first and formost!!.Quote:
