its a testament to how well we played last night that I was bitterly disappointed at the end, we left that game behind us. We were excellent, all over the field. I wouldnt be Hynes biggest fan but thought he was very good last night, full of effort and honesty and worked hard throughout, playing in the lone striker role. Hyland and Sammon were immense, i cant see Vik getting back in the team any time soon with their performance. The goals were hard to take in the sense that they could have been avoided, but on the flip side we had our chances, I havnt seen us create as many chances in a game all year. First half rovers played long ball trying to counteract our 5 in the middle, but the game opened up in the second with some great football played. The whole team were excellent and hopefully we can pick up a few wins and round off a decent season mid table, i think we'll be all happy with that.
On a side note, I know it was a lovely night and a cup game, but always preferred matches at night I think there;s something special about travelling out the strokestown rd with only the lights of flancare guiding the way, I do think winter soccer would suit us better.
Thats an argument for a different day, roll on shels!
