Great result, really badly needed as well, totally agree with Showgies Boco was superb a quality footballer. Thought Morrison was decent tonight and Blinkhorn was very good. All the lads making their debuts played well with Doyle taking his goal well. Hopefully we can put a run together in the coming weeks and push on, bloody nice leaving the showgrounds with a win.
Great result. They were all good really so don't want to single out anyone in particular but Kendrick & Doyle deserve a mention considering it was their first game, look like very good signings. Morrison had his best game for us since joining imo, tracked back and all:eek: hope he keeps it going. Good to see Boco at right back too, played really well. We should beat Galway next week too, especially if Peers is back.
Boco's arguably been our best player this season. I'm really optimistic about things now. Had a feeling we would beat pats tonight. With them being away in Europe (playing at a very high temperature, and only getting back on saturday afaik) coupled with the fact that we had the new signings available.
I suppose we are taking a bit of a risk in bringing in so many new players half way through the season, but it was a risk we had to take. In fairness it was good to get cashie, holmes and doc off the wage bill. None of them were doing much for us.
Doyle took his goal very well and as sf4e said, he's a big improvement on cash. He has pace and isn't afraid to have a go at the full-back.
Kendrick was absolutely brilliant imo. There's no comparsion between him and holmes. He was very strong in the tackle and has the potential to be one of our best players.
Blinkhorn is exactly the type of player we needed and hopefully he can form a good partnership with raf.
McGrath too was good, I nearly thought the ref (who was useless) was gonna send him off for the sliding tackle.
Pats scumbags standing over raf and shouting at him when he was down injured. Harris (?) should have been sent off. Nice to see fabio having a useless game when he came on too!
The main thing is we have some pace down the wings now:
Boco kendrick
morrison Doyle
That's so much better than what we had. With Blinky up front and hopefully peers to come back soon, we have the potential to go on a very good run (a la Dundalk) which could see us move right up the table, Starting next week at galway (we're 7/4 to beat Galway, I'll be having some of that!).
If this is a sign of things too come, I cant wait to see what Inside Man has to say at the end of the season.
Looking at the RTÉ match report, who is the unused sub Devaney ?

My MOM was Keane, Danny was suspect again. If Peers is fit next game I think DV needs to be rested, keep Keane at CB and Boco at RB. Conor looks a bit slow.
The ref was brutal, again!!
Onwards and Upwards, C'mon ROVERS!

Where is it confirmed that Holmes is gone? Kendrick must have sealed that departure...Quote:

Any being honest, with Ryans bellow par performances, injury and in general he doesnt look after himself as a pro should i doubt many would be too worried if he was to go...
Cashie is still there, he was doing laps of the pitch before the start of the game!!! So was our new Centre Half who looks a big lad!!!!!Quote:

everything was positive tonight :)
Forgot to mention that I thought Jeff Kenna helped us by taking off Pat's most dangerous player early in the 2nd half (Maher, I think!(No.2)).........I thought it was a bizarre subsitution.
bananas so wont go into detail about game,,but to answer earlier posts Cash was at game in full Rovers tracksuit etc so not gone yet.
I don't want to get carried away but what chance of us finishing ahead of dundalk!!its a big ask at this stage but would be very sweet to close such a big gap and finish ahead of that clown!
