I agree it could be a confidence thing, but he needs his manager's encouragement to do the positive things and have a go at defenders. He has to accept that it won't always come off but if he doesn't try then he will never regain confidence.Originally Posted by roversforever
We can't afford to have have two players on the one side unwilling to attack. It is no wonder we are struggling to score.
"Overwhelmed"
I read here that some of ye reckon Ryan is one of the 'finest' players we have had in awhile...
What are ye snorting?
He has no drive, goes missing constantly, is purely left sided, his passes that ye talk about are 10 yard passes..
Has Ryan ever split a defense? Drove at a team? No.
Anto Murphy player centre mid 3-4 times last season, was brilliat, Chris Turner was generally a class player, Hughes a mile ahead of Ryan..
Need to come around to yerselfs lads..he is decent, no better that that
Ryan plays like Pirlo. He sits there and distributes the ball. He's not going to make runs into the box, he needs other players to do that. He can't split a defence because we have nobody making any runs at all. O'Grady doesn't get into the box, which is a problem. Hughes did it loads in 2007, and look how many goals he got. He'd work well with Ryan, IMO.
Bit off topic but nice display again from the lads I couldn't make out what the banner said but the crowd cover was class
All different sort of players with different qualities.
Did you not see Ryan's pass to Keane on friday night in the second half, when Keane stumbled an attempt of a cross. We could and should have made more of it. Ryan does one of those rare things - he keeps possession for the team.
The only reason he seems to go missing is because of our tactic of long kick outs from Brush, by-passing centre midfield.

the full banner said "Sligo Rovers Football Club, The Pride Of Connacht"....dont think it went as well as planned. One of the lads made it. Its too good not to try and use it again.

Indeed!!!
Looks like it for now..June might be different
6/6 v Sudan
20/6 v Mali
The weather conditions took a lot from the game alright, but both sides were fairly evenly matched with us being down to the bare bones and all and Galway missing O'Shea. After Ventre was sent off it changed the game and a point was a decent return. I thought both sendings off were harsh aswell, it's no coincidence that Alan Kelly has to make himself the centre of attention for every live tv game that he does.
Was in the new stand with my Galway Utd supporting mate and his kids, last time I'll do that!!Because of that I got out a small bit earlier probably than the rest of ye, was there any trouble walking back up the Dyke Road to the bus or anything? No big deal I'd say in the end, but when I was passing there were a load of pimply faced teenagers gathered together and on about waiting there for the Rovers fans etc, my mate's daughter said she saw a few of them picking up stones??
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

Roy Keane is still a pri*k!
Yea i saw them actually,there was a good gang of them alrite but think they were more the sort that were trying to look hard without having the balls to do anything!
Ya, that's the impression I got too, sort of if their Mothers knew what they were at, they'd run them all home stuff!!!There's no place for that sort of crap though at a football game, no matter what the rivalry is.

Three games into the season lads.........let's calm down and see how things go over the next five.
Took five games last season before our first win.
Knee jerk reactions does no one anygood least of all OUR PLAYERS at OUR CLUB.
