Dundalk Teams News - Dundalk’s task in Bray will be made all the more difficult due to those dismissals as they will be without suspended trio, club captain Thomas Heary, top scorer Chris Turner and versatile Kevin McKinlay, while Mickey Collins (ankle) remains out. On the plus side, Paul McAreavey, Simon Kelly (both calf) and Michael Coburn (shin splints) are all available after injury, but Connor will again be short on options as he has been forced to call youth players into the squad once more. “We have three big players coming back into the side,” he told dundalkfc.com. “Again, what it will mean is that we’ll have a very youthful bench, but maybe that’s an opportunity for some of the young lads to step up to the plate.”
Heard we have a player missing on east coast this morning but missed who they actually said it was.
McCabe is out having picked up a bad knock on his ankle on Friday night and Foran is missing again due to a long standing bruised bone injury (i think that's what he said it was anyway). Full squad other than that AFAIK.
Cheers for the link.
Terrible game last night to go with the terrible weather. Dundalk were the better side from start to finish i thought. Yet another defensive error cost us 3 points, so annoying ! :mad:
I share your pain. I know Eddie's the manager but feel sorry for him having to comment on basic mistakes all the time.Quote:

Seriously lads how can you justify playing Tresson ahead of Coughlan or Massey, if anybody has the answer let me know! And dont get me started on John Flood, he isnt fit enough to start, does be dying after half an hour every game, ye can see it urselfs lads. How massey, who is my opinion brays best player this year apart from skippy , isnt getting a look in the last few games is a mystery to me??? Just comes down to one thing, Eddie hasnt a clue! One trick pony, when bray are losing what does he do?? Throws the centre back up top! What a joke! RANT OVER!!!!!
Did you see Tresson's sublime pass to Flood which played him in to get the peno?? THAT'S why he's on the pitch. Massey Bray's best player? And you say Eddie hasn't a clue!:eek:Quote:

He had a few poor games at left full and Eddie decided to more experienced players there, i dont see anything wrong with that. When he has been sprung from the bench, i.e like up in Sligo he did really well, won everything in the air and added a bit extra to attack.Quote:

It will take them a few years to learn their trade. I'm just hoping we can hang onto most for them for a few years to come so we can see their true potential.
I think Massey has played well this season, but Eddie has played him in a few different positions whichj hasnt helped him - i think that left back is his best position at the moment to be honest. What i'm surprised about is why Tresson hasnt been used as an impact sub all season for 10-15mins.
I only made the second half yesterday but i thought we played ok - dundalk didnt have much of the play and we had 5 or 6 half chances near the end. I think that Eddie has used Kelly too much; he isnt giving a great return on the wing and i would have liked to see him using Coughlan more - he is more of a winger.
Hopefully McCabe will be ok for Sunday!!!!!!
Apart from skippy he is! why who do you think is better??? So your justifing him starting on one good pass??? What about his total distrabution in the game?? tracking back and marking??Quote:

Has played in several positions and has a great engine, 5/6 goals to boot as well.Quote:

And for me, Foran has been the best player apart from Skippy. He makes the odd mistake, but our back line looks far better when he's in it.
Brennan has disappointed me a little after making a good start to the season
how many have been pens?
In fairness, the penalties have been shared between him and Jake Kelly.
jake probly only hitting them when mccabe not on the pitch!
It doesn't matter how many have been penalties, you still have to score them. For me the 3 stand out players this year have been Skip, Shields and Foran. All three have been excellent for us this season ad can hold their heads up high regardless of how the rest of the season goesQuote:
