Be carefull what you wish for. He signed some absolute dross when he was with Bray and played awful football. I know he was successful with Longford last time but that was a long time ago. The last few jobs he's had point to him being a spent force.
Cue miraculous turnaround at Longford...
I hope Mathews has his own back room staff, assistant, etc, after last nights dross I will be more than happy for new blood running the show, it cannot be any worse. I hope Mathews was watching he will have seen first hand the pretenders who go through the motions but produce nothing and the ones who actually do want to play not just collect wages
Didn't see him there last night which is a shame becuase as you said there are some absolute pretenders in that team. Their attitude last night stunk of why should we bother trying hard for this guy since he's not our manager anymore. The least interested display of football I've ever seen. Midfield is a disgraceQuote:

Mattews should at least make them more solid although a thing of beauty ? maybe not.
There seems to be a perception out there that town fans have these huge expectations. That's BS. Why wouldn't we expect to finish above amateur Wexford side, above a newly promoted Harps or a Bray team that was in crisis for long periods. Il say it again, anyone could have guided that 2014 team to promotion, the sponsorship deal we had then put Premier clubs to shame never mind the teams we were up against in the FD.Quote:
