I know Blinkhorn hasnt played since around May but I hope all this training and his trial has gotten him in better shape for today. Obviously I havent seen him play, but he reminds of me Matthew Judge for some reason.

Don't lay bets often but 13/2 are good odds for a striker. If he doesn't play do you get your bet back or what?
It's probably a stupid question but i don't know the answer!!
Get yer butts to Ladbrokes, never heard of him and called up the main office who also never heard of Blinkhorn, gave me odds of 10/1.
Can't even make a defensive wall for a free kick and a terrible effort from the resulting still ended up in the net. The two centre halves don't know if they are coming or going, Ventre gets sent off again proving what a liability he is. Well Holmes is Holmes and useless as well, that's what happens when you sign first division players. At least we know Boco is a half decent right back and any sort of threat came from there.

in fairness ventre hadnt the worst of games until sending off but ten mins before red card i told my mate beside me he wouldnt finish the game as ya could see he was getting wound up. even the couple turned around in front of me and said i was right once he went lol. its very simple in fairness if ya cant defend and you concede goals and cant score goals then it adss to a very simple answer. we need to get some new blood in. holmes is not good enough, cash and ryan as well as far as im concerned. blinkhorn never got a touch so cant judge him. we need to build the team around boco and raf. we badly need a centre back and central midfield as well as a winger who will beat a defender and cross. young keohane done good he always looked to get a cross in. we need to improve or will be a long season
Sligo must be badIm not sure the last time I saw city win never mind say score 3.
1 point from our last 15, and I can safely write off next weeks points on that performance so, 1 from 18? ****.
So, so frustrating. We havent won a league game since May 29th and going by tonight, we may be waiting another while for some points. I totally agree with the poster who said we need new blood in the team, a new left back, centre midfielder (Gary Curran anyone ?) and possibly a new left midfielder. It puzzles me how it has gone so backwards this season, I mean alot of the players from last season are still there.

Unfortunately with a defence as inept and uncomfortable as we have, we are more likely to lose games than win. Until this is addressed we will be fighting for our status in this league.
"Overwhelmed"
our priority needs to be players who can defend. we need someone who can organise a defense peers is outstanding but he needs someone beside him who can organise and keep his concentration. word is burns maybe an option but he is 30 now and only getting slower. a great reader of the game but we need to look to the future. we need a good strong cental midfielder too
Richie Ryan isn't up to it anymore.
That was painful to watch.
we obviously need a decent centre half and centre midfeilder on board.
and to get them we need to move a few on. no point talking about bringing wingers and full backs in, the money isnt there.
we actually dont have a centre back at the club, apart from peers who has been converted into one. we need strength down the middle.
Who could be out for a long time apparently
Depressing stuff tonight, obviously. Up until tonight I said to myself that we were good enough to pull out of this but I'm not so sure now. No centre halfs as srfc1928 said. Crowds are bound to drop now, and yet we are signing more players. Another fundraiser can't be that far away.
I suppose the lads were always going to be a bit flat after the european game but I honestly expected them to get a result tonight. Like, Cork weren't even that good, we were just terrible. No conviction, no urgency and all over the shop when ever cork decided to make a meaningful attack. Awful stupid of danny to get the red card at the end.
Very hard to see us getting anything out of the shams game.
That was also the last time we kept a clean sheet and we have only kept 6 in 22 games this year. We are soft and too easily got at. Looking at tonights dismal performance I drew a number of conclusions,
1. Can we afford the luxury of creative players in midfield like Ryan, Morrison, where we obviously lack a physical edge, back four get little protection from our current midfield quartet.
2. While I think O Grady gives his all, of late he seems to be chasing shadows and at times and looks a yard of the pace.
3. Looking at the next fixtures I cant see where we are going to put a run together to move up the table.
4. We need to get a centre back asap. At the moment we have Feeney and Ventre who dont look comfortable there.
On current form can anyone name the three teams going to finish below us to ensure we definately survive?
While I dont like to criticise players, the time for sentiment is gone and tough decisions need to be made. I hope for all oursake that Cook can make these. Otherwise I see a difficult time ahead.![]()
