Galway Utd vrs Cork City.

Im not panicked at all yet,we WILL finished higher then Bray,Cobh and Harps maybe even U.C.D too.
Tony left the team in an awful state though,not fit,not together,not showing leadership and not showing they want it.Whoever comes in has a big clean up job to do but we do have some good players and their quality will win us games vrs the other bottom sides.
KEEP THE FAITH.
Billy's interview was good today,no harm giving some of the young lads a chance,"if your good enough your old enough".

i think that the team if playing well are better than bray cobh harps etc.

but it will take time for the new manager to get this going - time is against us

have to pick up points asap - we need to be 4th from bottom - ahead of these other teams not just keeping pace (it would be a start!)

Agree. The abuse was fairly strong in fairness. Cant help the players much. While some of the performances were absolutely ****e I still believe we have enough talent on board to be safe, but leave the booin and jeerin till ya get back to the laptop I say.

Any news on how many applicants there has been. First job is to sort out the defence. The amount of sloppy goals conceded this season so far and the whole of last season has been crazy. The first job for the manager is to sort out the defensive shambles we have been for the last year.
Unless we do that we are going down and going down as the bottom team. You cannot continue to concede those type of goals and it is not acceptable for professional players to continually do so. If any of the rest of us were as sloppy in our day to day job we would be fired.
I think when everyone is fit that we have some decent midfielders and have the ability to nick a few goals. Unfortunately we are always facing an uphill battle due to the incompetencies at the back.

Unfortunately teams aren't having to do much to beat us these days. We are usually just presenting them with gift wrapped goals. Case in point the last day. Cork didn't look all that great to be honest and yet went in at HT 2-0 up thanks to clangers from Rodgers. First game of the season vs Bohs and it was Reggie getting caught the wrong side of Fenn like an amateur. Fitzgerald messed up in another game.

It wouldn't be half as frustrating if we were just getting played off the pitch by teams and getting hammered but we're not. It's our own stupidity at the back handing the advantage to opponents and the confidence levels are so low now that when we concede a silly goal the heads drop a bit.

:D:p


Ridicilous to suggest we'll finish ahead of all those teams.
They're actually able to score and win matches.
Scoring and winning are now a novelty at GUFC.

We are not gone yet, but it is going to take a mighty effort. Having seen Harps a few times, and Cobh once this year I think both are as good if not better than Utd on player ability. But with some spirit and organisation (cut out the blunders) it is possible starting with a draw on Saturday.
