That would be mine anyway.

Shels look a very solid side, I like that formation, getting my few euro in my first div bet - great value at 4/1

I think your right there, he has started every pre season game for us so far and has looked fairly decent. I was worried when we signed him from what the Longford lads were saying (well for starters they said he played on the right wing for them) but he is in the middle of the park for us and has been very solid in pre season.

I have it laid out like that but I meant 5 in midfield more than 3. 3 defensive mid's and 2 slightly more attacking wingers. On that basis I think Sullivan might start on the right wing

It'll be interesting to see how they line out, but I suspect it will be Doolin's typical 4-4-1-1, with Healy, Gamble, O'Donnell and Dennehy in midfield with Faz behind O'Neill and the width coming from the full-backs.

1. Barry Murphy

2. Simon Madden 4. Sean Webb 5. Aiden Price 3. Ian Bermingham

7. Shane Robinson 6. Stephen Rice 8. Stephen Bradley 11. Ollie Cahill

9. Gary Twigg 10. Tadhg Purcell

13. Robert Duggan
14. Dessie Baker
15. Daragh Maguire
16. Padraig Amond
17. Corey Tracy
18. Sean O'Connor
19. Pat Flynn
20. Eric McGill
21. Danny O'Connor
22. Greg Cameron
23. Eoin Doyle

I think Twigg will be first choice up front cause he followed O'Neill over.
Purcell and Amond for the other spot, Purcell has had a great pre season and will prob get the nod.
Great looking 11 and massive strenght in the whole squad.

strong 11, possibly with the exception of your back 4. I think Bradley will be a massive signing for you. Have you seen much from him pre-season?

**dublinwanderer** · 03/03/2009, 4:13 PM

My first choice 11 for Bray would be:

-------------Skippy--------------
Pender--Deans--Brennan--Massey
-------Mulcahy--Doyle-----------
Coughlan----------------McCabe
------------Kavanagh-----------
--------------Doyle-------------

Seen a fair bit of Bradley, looks very strong and with Rice could make a title winning centre mid pair. He just need to settle in a bit, but ur right will be massive.

Hope we can keep Price injury free. I think Madden is goina have a great season, dont think we will miss O'Brien too much with him

Outragesouly talanted midfield Rovers have this season ! and with players like O'Connor, Baker, McGill and Tracey to come in to it you really could push for the title. Ye have 2 of the best full backs in the league as well. I have to admit Rovers on paper look like real contenders, remains to be seen if the can do it on the pitch.

Is Danny O'Connor still with Rovers, thought i heard he left the club
