Pats!!!

Absolute huge game on friday... lets hope we can build on the athlone win and get a decent result from this game.

this is the proper start to the season - huge home game!!!!!

I'd say doherty will start prob with kenny at centre back, and duggan in for the suspended mccabe. i doubt there will be many other changes from friday's team. hope franco is at least on the bench, i think he showed enough on monday to warrant his place. pender has been the best player so far.

any going to the hibo for pre-match drinks???

What is it with you and drinks this seaon:eek:

your getting like your bro:D

What?

It was great to get a result on Monday night but I don't see us getting anything out of this. Athlone were just that poor the other night.

Yes 2-2 that would surfice:D

I might pop in after work for a drink before hand

obviously wasn't the best but it was a better performance than ucd and rovers

Pats were just too good for us last night. They strolled the game.

pats were in cruise control, didnt break sweat, and as for the performance were you at the same game as me?

4 games no goals speaks volumes

First match I've seen this season, what with living in another country and all :-) At least they looked to play some football. Too many flicks in the hope that someone might get on the end of them. They struggled to hold the ball up front, and the left full had a nightmare in the first half.

Cawley, captain, was again completely anonymous. High balls lumped in to Mulroy and Kavanagh. Rowe not even on the bench? Gormley doesn't know what he's doing...

i agree but he has paul osam there to give advice so i dont understand whats going on, as for longer he shouldnt be part of the set up offers nothing. i think eddie needs to pick a team and stick with it for at least 4 games (injuries permitting) and franco has to be part of it and stick daz in the middle

Bray need to change the tactics. Last season we let cawley have time and space and he did the business, but now other teams know that to stop us playing you stop him. Every team we've played so far has man marked him tightly leading to him being ineffective.

Thumping the ball up to two of our smallest lads is just braindead to be honest and if thats the masterplan then we can plan for a lot of trips to the likes of athlone next year.

Far as I know Rowe was injured, but why we didn't leave paddy out wide and play emeka or franco up top is a mystery

Rowe was definitely injured. Osam was in the bray people saying they'd been working on playing it into feet and all that so hopefully we'll se an improvement for the Harps game

He did that when he was Pats U21 manager as well. Not really a shouter - makes a bit of a change for this league :)
