With the friendlies all but done and the new stock bedded in what is your team's first eleven now?
Gregg
Mahon Kenna Shorthall Bermingham
Fitzgerald Finn McNally McWalter
Byrne Purcell
Could also go 4-5-1, with Brian King coming in for Purcell.
I'd guess this is ours right at the moment if all players were fit
Jennings
Coleman Peers Almeida Butler
Murphy Boco O'Grady Doherty
Kuduzovic Judge
Sligo have no hope with Hugo Almeida in defence...
Rogers
Keane
Fitzgerald
Nootimeer
McCulloch
O'Shea
Deegan
Russell
O'Brien
Leech
O'Flynn
Keane is out injured for the start of the season so Regi Nootimeer will probably play full back with John Lester or Wes Charles playing centre half.
drogs first eleven could be anyone's guess but here's mine (assuming they were all fit, which they aren't)
Connor
Shelley Gavin Gartland Kendrick
Baker Robinson Byrne Barrett
O'Brien Zayed
Kelly
O Donnell Bermingham Frawley Casey
Harte Murphy Doyle Davoren
Lynch McAllister
Thats more or less the team Id say!!
My guess is:
O'Connor; Tresson, Doherty, Foran, Pender; Kavanagh, Cawley, Duggan, Whelan; Myler, Rowe.
Injuries have fecked up our back line but ill hazard a guess at:
Gk - Gallagher
Rb - Labonte
Cb - Malcom (in place of Minnock)
Cb - Boyle (Hoping Mukendi is fit but doubtful)
Lb - Holmes
Rm - Funston (could be Breen or Gill if Funston goes in the middle with sheilds)
Cm - Sheilds
Cm - McGowan (maybe Funston, see above)
Lm - Williams
St - Gethins
St - Parkhouse/Beckett (id say Parky will get the nod)
with the players rovers have when everyone is available a 4-1-2-1-2 isnt a bad option.
....................Jennings....................
Coleman.....Peers.....Almeida.....Butler
......................O'Grady...................
.....Cash/Murphy..........Doherty.........
.......................Boco.......................
.............Judge..........Kudozovic.........
i'd say we'd stick with a 4-4-2 tho,same players just boco & o'grady in the middle.
More than likely ...
1. Ciaran Kelly
2. Ian Rossiter
3. Philly Reilly
4. Nigel Keady
5. Jim Sheridan
6. Levi Tierney
7. Robbie Hamm
8. Davy Byrne
9. Eric Lavine
10. Noel McGee/Dave O'Dowd
11. Jason McCarthy

Possibly: ( I think Mathews will go with A)
A)
.................Mick......................
Hoggy....Murray....Mulcahy....Murphy
Healy.....George....Joe..........Kearney
............Mooney.....Denis(dont think flynnys ready yet)
Subs: Nults, Farrelly, Flynny, Lordan, Woods.

mcCarthy
Carey Murray Guthrie Meade
Mulconry Barrett Kearney Cummins O'Neill
Reilly
Delaney
Murphy Brennan Keeley A.N. other
Chambers O'Halloran O'Brien Keddy
Flood Freeman
It will probably be:
Bennion
Flanagan, Lynch, Whelehan, Crawley
Duffy, Shiels, Cassidy, O'Connor
Farrell, Martin
I would choose:
Bennion
Flanagan, Lynch, Whelehan, Grimes
Duffy, Shiels, Cassidy, O'Connor
Farrell, Smyth
How's Robbie Martin done is pre season for you? Former club mate of mine so always follow his progress
He has done ok. He hasn't scored though but then again Farrell has only scored one and it was a fluke against Derry.. All our games were against Premier opposition so I wouldn't judge anyone too much until after a few league games.
....................Jennings.....................
Coleman.....Peers.....Almeida.....Ventre
......................O'Grady.....................

.......................Boco.......................
.............Judge..........Kudozovic.........
.................Doherty..............
McCallion....Hutton....Delaney....Gray
McGinn....Molloy....Martyn....McCourt
.............Sammon....McHugh.............
Subs: Quigley, Callaghan, Higgins, Morrison, Farren
I thought Quigley has been given your no.1 jersey and started all the pre-season games? ;)
He has been given the No.1 jersey but hasnt started all games. And that would be MY first 11, not necessarily Stephen Kenny'sQuote:

Considerin drogs aren't all fit
Vilmunen
Shelley Gavin Gartland Kendrick
Baker Keegan Byrne Robinson
Bates Zayed
when they're all fit replace Vilmunen with Connor and Byrne with Barrett. Robbo is legend on the wing - leave Bates on and have fabio and Eamon fight it out for the second striker spot
just my take on it - I've been wrong before and no one pays me to manage a premiership side
I know he is out long term but where would a fit Morrow fit in?Quote:

Difficult to say but Kildare's could be something along the lines of
------------------Treacy
Clarke----Brophy---Tyrell------Clancy
Brady ----Donnelly---Slattery---Broderick
-----------Gorman----Robinson
Stephen Cooling and Austin O'Neill are injured, they would probably start ahead of Slattery and Treacy.
I expect Ciaran Kilduff to make a big impact this season as well but I am not sure where he will fit in with gorman and robinson there

Bates
I thought Gavin was just being allowed to cool off and isn't actually injured?! but not sure.
Also Cahill??? Have you actually seen him play?
He would definately be in the starting 11, he is class. Id prefer Quigley to Doherty, just probably because he knows the League of Ireland scene better.Quote:
