4-5-1 maybe,Mikey and Kizzy arent good enough to start imo especially against quality defenders like Price,O'Connor and Maguire.I predict a boring draw

yeah I agree, Mikey and Kelly arent good enough to start can see an all senior team start again. id say it'll look something like this. would go for a 4-5-1 formation aswell but hopefully Boco can find his shooting boots again.
Brush
Coleman Almeida Peers Butler
Raff Cash O' Grady Curran Doherty
Boco
Subs:
Jennings
Feeney
Noctor
Creane
Kelly
what about danny ventre:confused:Quote:

any news on Seamie's/Judge's injury?
i would have ventre in there for cash! not sure he will play 4-5-1 though!
Personally, I'd go 4-4-1-1, push one of the wingers (Doherty or Cretaro, most likely) up to support Boco.
From what I remember, Shams' centre-backs aren't the most mobile, and a bit of pace could cause them all sorts of problems.
I'd drop Ventre and give Curran another shot but can't see Cook dropping his friend. If Feeney's fit then put him up front with Boco. As long as we don't spend the match hoofing it up to the heads of Shams defence, we'll win.

good team except for cashie up front. Feeney might work better with Boco, or even Raff.Quote:

can see a draw here although, Shamrock got a decnt draw last night. Itll be a tight game.

Would probably start Ventre with Conor in the middle
Curran probably hasn't done enough to start ahead of Ventre or O'Grady, although, as Eddie O'Sullivan would say, he definitely "put his hand up."
BTW, has anyone else noticed just how young our team is? Majority of the players are 22/23, and O'Grady is the oldest regular starter at 28! (Arsene would be impressed...)
Our team has always been young since the Don O'Riordan days , even when Connor was in charge I think you'd be looking at an average age of 23-24Quote:

Sligo Rovers manager Paul Cook has another week with an even more depleted squad as Matthew Judge faces a long lay off with a broken cheek bone and damage to his eye socket (an injury picked up in the game against Finn Harps),he has had surgery today in Derry with steel plates inserted into his cheek.Also Steve Feeney is still out with a hamstring injury and Seamus Coleman will have a late fitness test with his ankle injury
Does Steve Feeney ever NOT have a hamstring injury?
WOuld you not be moving quickly to pick up a hamstring injury? Something does not add up.Quote:

Slightly off topic but Rovers Maniac, you realise thats a Shams avatar dont ya. :D
EDIT : Conveniantly changed;)
ya can blame Don O'Riordan for that. used to have him playing for u18s, u21s and senior team every week back in those days and that probably has him f***ed for goodQuote:

Didn't mean to be hard on Feeney with that comment earlier, but every piece of Rovers team news is punctuated with "and Steve Feeney is out with a hamstring injury"
So, do you reckon playing too many games at a young age makes you more susceptible to injuries in your twenties (ala Michael Owen)?Quote:

AFAIK he hasnt played since last season. I dont think he was playing with Boyle Celtic either.Quote:

If the second half Rovers from Monday come out, I'd be pretty confident of a win. If the first half Rovers come out, I'd be happy with a draw.Quote:

i would be surprised if mct is not on the bench if he is in any sort of shape.
Richie Winter...Shams away...wonder what odds you'd get on us having a man sent off.
That priviledge goes to a certain A. Kelly.Quote:

Rovers lost 1-0 :(. Many great chances in the first half best chances of the night were Danny Ventre's low shot and Butlers free kick. good to see McTiernan play but was quiet enough in the match.
A dissapointing loss.We dominated until they scored but boco is just not a good finisher.In an ideal world he would be playing attacking midfield but obviously we have a shortage up front so he has to play there.I reckon if faz was playing tonight we would have won.The heads dropped when they scored and we started hoofing it.Peers was immense but the likes of curran and doherty weren't great imo.
In fairness he made some good cross, but players just werent getting on the end of them.Quote:
