LOI Fixtures 14th - 17th August 2015

Players do sometimes improve, with good coaching/manager and playing with better players. I saw Hoban play a few times with Mervue. Would any of the stats guys on here be able to tell, how many league goals he got and if he made the 1st Division team of the year before going to Dundalk?
Have to say Stephen Kenny has done a good job but still 9 games to go, so not over yet, granted Pats are out of it now.
It seems that changing the manager has worked for Bray and Sligo down at the bottom. Can we expect a change of management amongst the top 5 at the end of the year?

Hoban scored nine goals for Mervue in the 2012 season before joining Dundalk. He didn't make the team of the season, the strikers were Seanie Maguire and Rory Gaffney (remember him).

Saw Gaffney play a fair bit as well in the 1st division and in a couple of club gaelic games also. Great that he has got the move across the water and hope it goes well for him. I think Pats fans are a bit too certain in their opinions of players who leave Richmond Park, other factors apart from ability may be involved. It will be interesting how Maguire gets on under SK, indeed the career trajectory of all 3 players that you mention White H.
