QuoteI have to question the decision to have Ryan on the bench. For me he is a probaly our best ball player and the most comfortable on the ball. I don't think Boco knew where he was playing. He seemed to float between midfield and forward.
Was a poo performance but the better team won. We created f**k all but the team needs time to gel a bit more. Hopefully a better performance against Galway.
Those who boo'd need their heads examined. 3 games in with a relatively new team and injuries.

"Overwhelmed"
He sustained a rib injury during the week, which i guess is why he was left on the bench.Originally Posted by showgies
Poor again last night. Morrison did well when he had the ball at his feet. Galway will be interesting. Not worrying just yet, but Galway and Dundalk are big games for us now.
McT MUST start against Galway, but TBH i think Cook will more than likely start with Parkhouse and maybe Cash/Morrison playing off him.

[QUOTE=Rovers Maniac;1127271] We allowed Gary Curran to leave, who we could have done with last night as we had only one central midfielder fit to start.
agree with you on gary curran. gary scored a good goal for us last night. I still cant believe we got him along with Derek Glynn.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
what was yer team and who came on???
from what i saw against shams, its yer defence that needs sorting
Bit of a mixed bag of opinions.Seems like inside man will not be happy until Cook is gone and we are relegated so he can give himself a big pat on the back and say "I told you so" to himself as he hides behind an alias and no one know who he is. I have serious issues with aliases on this forum, the simple reason they are used if because certain fans do not have the balls to give their real identity and stand by what they say ,as they would be ridiculed for the ****e they write on the forum in person.
Cooke has spent on positions he needed with the limited funds he has available.The quality reflects the finances we have to spend and Coke himself has state we will struggle this season.AS for keeping Curran it wasn't a case that he was ran out the door ,Cooke could not guarantee first team football nd he spent the majority of last season on the bench so simple fact is he took the opportunity for regular first team football with Longford.
The league will be a hell of a lot tougher this season with a 10 team division and without Harps, Cobh and UCD we will lose almost 25 points we gained from them last season.
If fans believe we are not strong enough then its time to **** or get off the pot with the July transfer window coming up.Gets yer heads together and start thinking of ways you along with others can assist Cooke and the club and yourselves to improving the squad through raising funds to strengthen the squad.
Talk is cheap, we all know the problems but try and provide a solution......
Ryan is a good player but doesn't really influence a game. He tends to play the comfortable pass out to the wing rather than trying to play a killer pass to open up a defence. Doesn't take on or beat players either.
I think we're all beginning to get ahead of ourselves here. Mauro is a huge loss at the back but when you look at who we have played thus far and the quality of the teams,are we that far off the pace?? With guys playing out of position, missing players to come back and the likes of O'Grady and Cash to find form yet im sure things will click. Too much negative talk
i would agree with most of what you have said although we have been saying that cash is due a purple patch for quite a while???
Time to deliver!!!!
Also the pre season debacle cant have helped in the slightest!!!
