Give Rob time, the season doesn't start til March, if we still have that squad then, then criticise!

Is Burns definatly gone?:confused: :confused:

Hopefully Kelly will , it would be good to see some of the youth players step up to the plate. About Burns I dont think he has found another club yet but I would very much doubt if he would be still with us in March .

Going to need 5 exceptional signings to replace O'Hara, O'Grady, Burns,McNamara and McT and then we will have a similar squad than last season which wasn't good enough in the run in , then we will need a few more players to improve on last season , I think 7th will be good this year behind Derry,Cork,Shels,Drogheda,Pats, Bohs.

Why Pat's?:confused: They weren't that good last season and it looks like they're going to lose their two best strikers to Motherwell soon...

Presumably that even if they do lose their best two strikers we still have lost our goalkeeper , two centre backs , central midfielder , left winger and three strikers.

Only 4 of those 8 are major losses in my opinion-O'Grady, Mansaram, Burns(if gone) and O'Hara.

Major losses or not the rest of those were all still part of the squad and will need replacing.

I see Conor O'Grady has added himself to the PFAI available players list:(. Although, I've heard he's still in talks with Rob in regards to a compromise.

On the up side, at least Rob has noticed Cretaro anyway:

Heard a strong rumour last night that Raf has re joined Sligo Rovers.

If true best of luck to him.A gent and a top player.He'll be one of the few not getting abuse up in the Showgrounds.

Not confirmed.

I think you have seriously missed the point here? I could have quoted a few manyoo or gunners fans but that would not have being a fair comparison would it and i would have been castigated for that as well?

PS - Leyton Orient have a redeveloped ground, no debt, promoted last season and beat nottingham forest 3 -1 at the w/e and they were all at the city ground to witness it - Forest would hammer rovers any day of the week - so i think you should not be so disparaging in your comments of other clubs just be because of a false sense of superiority born of ignorance.

Me neither...Dean Delaney is a player we should be enquiring about too. I've heard of that Fennelly guy too, the Cobh player...not sure if he's good or not but sticks out in my mind for some reason...possibly Football Manager 2006 though:D

We always seem to struggle to attract Irish players already playing the Eircom League , I suppose its cos they are unwilling to relocate to Sligo but maybe Rob will change that.

Rob's gonna make Sligo more entertaining for people to come to. Is he also taking a job with the Chamber of Commerice or in the local Bord Failte office?:D :D :D

is steve williams still available? he was released by shels last season, wouldnt be a bad replacement for john o hara
29/12/2006, 1:22 PM

we have a more than adequate replacement for john in brushie..
we need a second keeper tho.. sean kelly mightn't be be up 2 premier standard :D

Can't see how you can make a statement like that, you only seen Brush in action once all season because you only went to half the Rovers games!!!
You have only made up your mind on 1 apperance!
I think most people supporting Rovers would all agree he is not up to Div1 standard!

PS: wat de f*ck is with the UCD crest???

I wouldnt agree with that,how can you say that if you never say him playing in the first division. Just repeating what you were basically saying to Brewer.

what makes him not good enough so....explain?
29/12/2006, 8:46 PM

the indications (from what ive heard) is that at the start of last season brush was pushing o'hara very close for the starting position. also, rob mcd has been VERY impressed with brushie.

and there's no personal mark to this at all by midgit... ;)

how many times have u seem him play so to justify makin such a stupid statement. a lot of the players reckon brush is better than o'hara. steve williams wouldn't be worth bringin in in my opinion cos we'd have to give him extra to re-locate to silgo and he's not even that great just ask ollie keogh.

one of the comments on the you tube vid is that it was sh1t goalkeeping..
29/12/2006, 10:45 PM
Red&White Rover

Dick Brush is decent but i do think we could do with a more established or proven keeper...up at The UCD game (Connors last) he was at fault i'd feel for the goal....
29/12/2006, 10:55 PM
SligoBrewer

yeah but i think with a run of games under his belt he'll establish himself if he's given the chance

I agree with that.Rob needs to get a settled back 5( Keeper and 4 defenders) that will play together regularly.If Brush got a run in the team,with a regular back 4 I think he would do very well.

McChrystal is a free agent again now after he left Partick Thistle. Might be worth a look in July?
