So getting back to on field matters.We REALLY need a home win,and i have a feeling we might just nick this one,we HAVE to.There has to be an urgency about our play now and fair play to Jeff i think he knows it too.Its anyone's guess what team we will field though.
Rogers
McCulloch
Lester
Fitzgerald
Keane
Molloy
Russeller
J. Keane
O'Shea
Murphs
Glynny
I hope he starts Russell in the centre and Jonny Keane before Fenn who I dont rate and would have got rid of before Deego. We lack a bit of bite so Jeff will have to have them wound up bigtime.Geezer you will see there is only 4 maroon blooded lads on that team.
thought lester,fitz and mccullough were gone gufct. Murphy and Glynn are from neighbouring mayo which is sound in my book (as good as galwegians).
we need a balance but i hope the next time we sign players from Dublin or afar that they have experience, and preferably through the spine of the team. e.g Goalie, centre back, midfield and a striker with the stats to prove it.
Pay the going rate for quality and give the young local lads a chance to learn from them.
aka blackmore,bonner, gardner,lambert,mcdonnell,mcgee
thank the lord god there not gone id say Jeff knew the players he wanted to keep and worked with Nick which we could afford to keep. Hopefully we will get a bit of luck on the injury side now because the squad is very tight especially at centre half and central midfield where we lack a tough tackling player with Deego gone and foley a long way off full fitness.
Glad to see Murphs back. I asked on here, at the start of the season, if I was alone in thinking that we might live to regret seeing him go and there was a resounding 'yes'. I agree he didn't play very well under Spoofer but I reckon he will do well under Jeff. He also brings a bit of experience that we need right now. Hope he gets a great welcome. Welcome 'home' Murphs.
if we played they way we did against derry well be taking all 3 points home.2-0 rovers.boco,almeida
I'd like to see Murphs play up front, we all know he prefers to play in midfield but his strike rate when playing up front was phenomenal. I hope Jeff can get the best out of him. Good luck Murphs.
T:are you saying Lester and Fitz arent going or they are just not gone yet??I didnt think they would still even be in Galway by tomorrow night nevermind playing,its great that they are though.I dont want this thread to get off topic,i only asked because we need them for games like tomorrow night.
As per press statement it looks they are staying till end of season as only players club are in talks about leaving are Stephen O'Flynn, Reggie Nooitmeer and Daryl Robson.Quote:

Other adjustments to the squad may take place in the coming weeks but it has been necessary to reduce the playing budget.
TBH I thought that yesterdays statement was the end of Players Going bar Reggi,Flynny & Daryll which would bring the total to eight since the 1st july. If there is anymore I feel it would remove a lot of the trust that was restored by yesterdays actions.
I would guess now that we are under the 65% any future departures would be up to Jeff.
Indeed. Acording to today's Sligo Champion (which claims to be biggest selling paper in Sligo city *sniggers*), Cook says that Sligo will get 3 points in Terryland.Quote:

There is still no solid guarentee that the player exodus has stopped but for our season to turn we need a settled team to have any chance of staying up.
Easy now....I haven't sent a pm to anyone about selling tickets, I just got a book in Terryland. Let's all focus on tomorrow night, the future and what we can do individually to help. Not all actions of help need to be shouted from the rooftops. Now..................bring on the Slygo
I said when i asked the qs about those players that i didnt want this thread to go off topic too much but "shockingly" it did-give it a rest lads.
Jeff should post Cook's comments up on the dressing room door and tell the players to go shove them back at him.Actually the players have many other more important motivations for winning tomorrow night so im sticking with my 1-0 or 2-1 prediction for us.:)
Sligo Champion's out on Wednesday's, not Thursday's.Quote:

He also said Galway are a match for any side, as ye proved against Cork. Don't think there's anything disrespectful about that but yeah eamo, stick it up on the dressing room wall, that'll get ye the 3 points alright.
Look's like Gylnn is staying on then?
Yeah.Quote:

We have not tried to rail road or bully our players into taking pay cuts and forcing them out of the club. I am surprised you never pulled out the old chestnut thing just haven't been the same since 9/11.

My last offering on this. The club have apologised, you haven't for spinning a web of lies. And how do you know who I have or haven't pm'd? And is that the only way I can get my hands on a book of tickets to sell them?Quote:

:rolleyes:... come on, that's going a bit far in fairness!!.Quote:

This not my post its from gufcnet.As far as I know he is right about Reggi and Gary. The other ones would be crazy as after last night it was the first time this season that I felt we were doomed because of lack of cover or any options on the bench.
One thing I cant understand for the life of my is how we let any player go before Olly Fenn Deego was 10 times the player he was and surely Jason Molloy would be a better option out wide to let Russeler play in his natural position.
wasnt deego let go because he had one of the larger wage packages?
glad you pointed that out, never seen sligo play that way before dirty tackles, late tackles, diving etc... I thought sligo played better football than that?Quote:

No sign of Daryl Robson or Stephen O'Flynn last night. Were they in the clubhouse area ?

After the post match interviews on TG4 last night the camera followed jeff off the pitch. When at the entrance to the tunnel, jeff went over to Nick who was talking to Daryl (who wasnt a happy camper), didnt see Flynn at the match !!!!! but was spotted in "his local area" of Galway later in the night, or so I was told by the missus anyway!Quote:
