First Choice XI's

**Bunny Kelly** · 02/03/2009, 2:34 PM

Now with most pre-season friendlies over & the season about to start, what to do you think is your sides best XI?

**Hibs4Ever** · 02/03/2009, 2:53 PM

Clarke

Haverty - Gavin - Partridge - Stevens

Guy - Lynch - Dempsey - Cawley

Quigley - Haran

I'd disagree with at leat half of that team (and I've seen them play in pre-season

)

Lynch at right full, Cawley in the centre. Fremainis up front. O'Connor left mid. Ryan left back.

**Jofspring** · 02/03/2009, 3:01 PM

Limerick FC:

Dave Ryan

Brendan Daly..........Paul Danaher........Pat Purcell......Conor Molan(if he signs, haven't seen it confirmed yet)

Paul Walshe...........Wayne Colbert.......Jason Hughes..........David Ryan

....................Paul Cummins............John Tierney.

That would probably be Limericks strongest team give or take one or two players that could be in there. Tommy Barrett (hasn't signed yet but hopefully will), Thomas Lyons just misses out, a tough midfield to get into.

Clarke to start in goal? I'd assume Rogers would after being with Kenna at Galway

**BrayUnknowns** · 02/03/2009, 3:13 PM

I think the team we put out against Sporting Fingal team on Saturday afternoon will be out starting XI against Rovers this coming Friday

GK - Chris O’Connor
RB - Derek Pender
LB - Dane Massey
CB - Chris Deans
CB - Stephen Brennan
RM - Patrick Kavanagh
LM - Gareth Coughlan
CM - Dave Mulcahy
CM - Daire Doyle
FR - Paul Byrne
FR - Darren Forsyth

With Kavanagh and Coughlan switching wings regularly

**jebus** · 02/03/2009, 3:14 PM

I'll disagree with Jof and say

-----------------------------Ryan-----------------------
---------O'Callaghan--------Danagher--------Purcell-----------
---Walshe-----------------------------------------Molan----
-------Hughes----------Colbert------------O'Brien---------
------------Cummins---------------Tierney------------------

They were both told it was an open competition. I'd say Clarke is better (as would hibs apparently) but its immaterial now as Clarke broke a bone in his foot and is out for the next 4 weeks or so. The jersey is Rogers' to lose

**GalwayRed** · 02/03/2009, 3:19 PM

----------------------Delaney--------------------------
Quigley-------Brennan----------Doherty---------Crawley
---------McGill--------McAllister-----O Brien------------
Baker-------------------------------------------Cassidy
-----------------------Flood---------------------------
That would be mine anyway.

**Rovers1** · 02/03/2009, 3:22 PM

Brush
Keane
Almeida
Peers
Holmes (we wont see Butler for a long time)
Cretaro
Ryan
O Grady
Morrison
Boco
Parkhouse (dont rate him at all personally but either him or Raf, but thats probably what Cook will go for)

**gustavo** · 02/03/2009, 3:27 PM

Bearing in mind as it's what I think our Best XI rather than what i think Cookie will go with

Brush

Keane Peers Almeida Holmes

Morrison O'Grady Ryan Doherty

Boco Cretaro

**pineapple stu** · 02/03/2009, 3:32 PM

This was our team against Bray last week -

Barron
Harding
Timmons
Connaughton
Doyle
Bolger
Ward
Finn
Kilduff
Mulhall
Reilly

Subs - Nangle, Kelly, O'Connor, Daly, Brennan.

Haven't seen half of them play, so no idea if it's our best XI. I assume there's room for Evan and possibly Dave McMillan, and you're done.

Gary Rogers and John Lester will be definite starters in that team, otherwise Judas wouldn't have bothered with them

**Terry** · 02/03/2009, 3:45 PM

looks like we will start something like this with what we have at the moment: A few non contracted players still rumoured to be joining and Russell and Keane is still out injured.

..................Ryan...........
Conneely...Guthrie...Breen...Davoren
................Kelly................
O'shea..Murphy..McGrath..O'Brien
................Faherty...............

**gufc2000** · 02/03/2009, 3:46 PM

If I was Fozzy I'd go with

-------------Ryan--------------
Conneely, Guthrie, Breen, Davoren
-------------Kelly---------------
--------Murphy, Russell----------
O'Shea----------------O'Brien
----------Faherty---------------

Davoren as first choice left back?!

That's some move, striker >> left wing >> left back.

**Redie** · 02/03/2009, 3:51 PM

I'd just make one change to Gustavo's lineout

Brush

Keane Peers Almeida Holmes

Morrison Ventre Ryan Doherty

Boco Cretaro

He is the only option we have.....he is a good attacking left-back but is not experienced enough to play there yet IMO. But with our tight budget constraints we have no other option, unless we can pick up a bargain between now and Friday

we have a left back on trial at the moment, nothing signed yet from what i've heard anyway.
