Think we've conceded the most goals in the top 8 and it's no coincidence that he and Grivosti have been missing for a large chunk of the season. Curtis has an extremely high ceiling but by the nature of his age will make mistakes, but you can apply that to McGrath (who had a bit of a shocker for the 3rd) and Lewis too so there hasn't been much cover for one another.

Hard to call with Daly, he's not hurting his chances anyway. After having a single shot on target in Clancy's last three games to scoring eight in the three he's been in caretaker charge of he's at least addressed things on that front, and from what I can tell a lot of the fans have really taken to the way he speaks. Jury would still be out for me, ultimately in the three games he's been in charge of Clancy actually took more points from the corresponding fixtures and we've not exactly had convincing performances in them either. Shels on Friday should be more of an indicator with it being against a side that we're more so in direct competition with than Rovers/Drogs/Cork.

Thanks Jack. I actually meant Redmond. He's looked excellent when I've seen him. Plays like he has been around for a long time and you just looked a bit fragile at the back without him. He might have seen Towells run or death with Grace a bit better.
