Dave Ryan has improved immensely since last year, even since earlier this season. He used to make me a bit nervous but not anymore, I have every confidence in him.Originally Posted by Jofspring
That said, I wouldnt mind seeing Collopy in action.

Dave Ryan has improved. However he's still terrible in the air, throws his toys out of the pram at the slightest provocation and doesn't communicate with his defence all that much. He's no longer awful but he's no better than adequate yet either.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Agree totally.
Worth trying out Collopy at this stage in the season.
Better than the performance against Dundalk a few weeks back?
TBH I am very worried about Limerick coming to Oriel later in the month, Ye destroyed us that night, 4 or 5 wouldn't haven't flattered ye at all.
Ya i'd definately say as good a performance if not better.
First game in a while.
I was seriously impressed. It wasn't just that we bossed them but we played really good football. We passed it through them. It was a stark contrast to their long ball stuff. The goal we conceded was soft but we missed a rake of chances and were denied one definite penalty (in fairness the ref couldn't have seen the handball but the linesman should have) and there was also one challenge that could have led to a penalty.
To get 500 at this game (which is largely meaningless at this stage) indicates that the fans are turning up to see good football. Lots of credit to Mike Kerley.

Is he injured at the mo though? Hopefully he'll get a game or two before the season ends anyway.

He is just back from injury a few weeks. Heard he was sick for the Fingal game though.

no i think he is fit again. played in the last 2 A matches and according to reports on the matches pulled off some great saves.
Interesting. Let's hope he's blooded before the season ends.

mk verdict
i have to say the jury is still out on mk.i would have to question his team selection and his substitutions.as an ever present (almost) at home matches i have seen this team flourish as the season progressed and have no doubt that we will be contenders next season if this team stays together.i think his man management skills are suspect and am afraid some of our better players will leave in the close season.
better players being? players will always come and go during the close season but that dont mean they'd be leaving cos of Mike. by far the most professional and orginised manager since Sam Alardyce

every team has four or five players that form the nucleus of that side.it would be wrong to name them but we all know who they are.they are the difference between challenging or not next season.how anybody could call mk professional and organised after the wexford debacle beats me.
We will have to wait on the outcome from the wexford match before we hang anyone out to dry,but i would side with jaorta in saying the jury is still out on mk,cant agree that he is the best since big sam a lot of people on here have little time for mike but i think there are good times ahead if the team progresses in the same manner as this year.
Fail to prepare,prepare to fail--R.keane.
again lads i wrote he is the most prof and orginised i never said he was the best thing since the sliced pan. and again wait till wednesday before judging on where or where not to hang the guy. btw it was the team who brought to the attention the "conditions" in wexford to MK he stood up for them.
Of course the jury is still out on Mike Kerley but how big an axe does jaorta have to grind?
The ball is round and has many surprises.
im just hoping and praying that we can maintain this team and this form until this time next year,by which time we will have promotion secured!!!a gal can dream cant she?
Well said gael.The next thing this lassy will want to play with us next year.
Fail to prepare,prepare to fail--R.keane.
we now have a ladies team or havent ye heard?maybe ye should come to see us play,ye might pick up a few things(and i dont mean the players!!!):
