2-2 draw. Hopefully we'l score in the 1st half. I couldn't stand another scoreless first half.Quote:

1-1 lads i think!! hopefully ramblers can sneak it but it depends wat kinda ramblers team turns up!
I'll take a point from this one. It's been said we need 12 points from each cycle of games, but looking at the home/away arrangement for the season, I'd settle for 9 or 10 points from this first set (with 15 from the second and 12 from the third).
I think the most important thing for Saturday is a goal or three, preferably starting in the first half. We simply won't stay up if we keep going like this up until the transfer window, or beyond if Hendo can't find/afford a decent enough striker.
Got to get the monkey off our back and the chip off our shoulder, time for someone to step up to the plate. (Can't think of any other suitable chichés right now...)
Who would ye start:
Bilko
Carey Guthrie Murray Meade
Mikey J.Kearney B McCarthy Mucky Davin
Reilly or Dub
that would be a solid team, mccarthy might add a bit of stell to midfield which is badly needed
Bilko
same back four
cambrige -b.mc carthy -j.kearney-dav
reilly
Think reilly has to be played its the only way he can get some form back,not to sure bout my central midfield pairing they are both left footed i believe.
Bilko
Carey Guthrie Murray Meade
Mucky J.Kearney Coleman B McCarthy Davin
Reilly
It's time Hendo started starting Kenny Coleman. It's a crime that the best footballing brain in Ramblers has to sit on the bench.
Ah Hendos too old to play r14!!!
I dont think Coleman should start meself, dont think hes fit enough watched them training tonight and dont think he has the match sharpness, or the fitness to work his balls off, which will be required from every player against a team the calibure of bohs.
He's a tough tackler who can pass the ball yet he's never given a chance in his true position. I'd love to see him get a chance at centre-mid.Quote:

In the games he's played this year he has been one our best players. He has a great ability to read the games. His fitness has improved dramatically.Quote:

And i idisagree. :DQuote:

Cobh Ramblers having acquitted themselves well during training this week, go into the game looking for their second home win of the season. Rambler’s impressive home record continues, giving Manager Stephen Henderson and his team great confidence of a win at St Colman’s Park on Saturday 10th May.
Stephen Henderson “Our Home record continues to grow and losing that record to my former local team is not an option, no matter what resources Bohs have available to them.”
“Make no mistake about it we are a very good side and I know I am repeating myself but the results are not a true reflection of how we have played this year. We truly have had no luck this year and I genuinely feel our luck is about to Change”
Brian McCarthy & Alan Carey are out injured, with Graham Cummins and Shane Barrett suspended for Saturday nights game.
What happened Carey and McCarthy?? Seems very sudden??
they both seemed fine last night anyway
Really? Confidence high? After that performence!Quote:

but he is not on loan i thought if he is on loan or is abohs player how did he sign for us outside transfer window:confused:
couldnt tell ya bud, all gentlemans agreement maybe? Their great friends
game alot more important now with teams around us getting points tonight
need at least a point to keep pace with ucd otherwise gap could develop
simple as chances need to be converted no more messing around
ya chances have to be taken. bohs have more awat points than anyone else in the league. it also said on extratime.ie that they havnt scored from play in the league in a while, all set pieces.
if it is from set pieces we should be ok our back four is solid, cummins is a huge loss tonight, barrett being out means hendo will have to shake things , who will start in midfield ?
R14 could be right i reckon
i cant believe it never thought this day would bella and r14 agreeing , top stuff:D:D
Bilko
Carey Guthrie Murray Meade
Mucky J.Kearney Coleman Lally
Reilly Davin
I had to revise my team as Brain McCarthy is out.
Lally will probably come in at left-mid and Davin will probably move upfront.
If not that then:
Bilko
Carey Guthrie Murray Meade
Cambridge J.Kearney Coleman Mucky Davin
Reilly
Is Alan Kearney injured? Thought he was quality against Rovers
Out for around 4 weeks with a knee ligament strain.Quote:

Carey was at fault for the goal though?Quote:

unlucky by all accounts tonight Cobh fans. Was watching the live text updates and they were all praise for your second half performance. Really hope you stay up.
Same old. Same old. Just can't put the chances away. I'd have settled for a draw though and as R14 says, Pat Fenlon used up his 'Get out of Jail Free' card last night. This really isn't a good season so far and I'd have hoped we would at least by this stage have bagged at least 12 points. Chances. Chances. Chances. Gone. Gone. Gone. It's all great about the lads putting in great preformances etc etc like the second half, but lads, great performances don't get the points unless we win the games and we can only live on the 'fair dues though, they played well' excuse for so long I'm afraid. We desperately need results. Six from 30 isn't at all good. We need to get behind Henderson and the lads a bit more. He's a very clever Manager and he can't be blamed for any of this though as he's fielding the best team we have, but they just can't make those nets rattle. I'm getting tierd of hearing how unlucky we were and luck isn't going our way, or the Ref was on their side etc etc. Simple. Results = Points and we need POINTS and a Striker or two.

Penalty was poor and a couple of other chances went a-begging.
But the team has shown they can compete with the likes of Bohs and Rovers, a finisher in the summer window will do ye the world of good
