Sligo's squad is holding up very well, I have to say. I'd expect Baraclough to bring in a couple of faces from the England too.
To an extent but with Quigley gone and North out for another while we are threadbare up front.
He would need to unearth a gem.
North's been out a good six months now, it'll be almost eight when the season starts. Are you sure he's not just enjoying life in the scratcher?
I thought Danny Ventre wasnt comin back??
Almost reminds me of an American football team roster,and yee still want more players? Holy fcukQuote:

It's only 20 players to be fair, plus, Liam Martin is away with Ballinamallard in the IL on loan.Quote:

Sligo surely must be exceeding 20k weekly wages with that line up?
No doubting the quality, but it doesnt come cheap.
I really doubt they're paying every player 1k a week.Quote:

Anyway, back on topid here's the current Pats squad
Brendan Clarke
Dave Ryan
Ger O'Brien
Ian Bermingham
Conor Kenna
Kenny Browne
Aidan Price
Sean Gannon
Jake Carroll
Greg Bolger
Shane McFaul
John Russell
Chris Forrester
Killian Brennan
Conan Byrne
Jordan Keegan
Christy Fagan
Anto Flood
Conor Murphy
Jake Kelly
That is a very strong squad - no obvious weak links in the 20 strong squad (cue the Killian Brennan bashers!)
My on view would be that we're in trouble if Kenna or Browne gets injured. Maybe Fagan too but hopefully Murphy surprises
Plenty of option in midfield and wide though and overall you have to be very happy with it
