2010 squads

[Ezeikial]

Ah Synnott is way too good to be playing A League football, would be horrible to see that.

I hear that Michael Synnott has now signed up (I expect that it will be confimed later on dundalkfc.com). Pending this confirmation I expect a final 22-man squad with Synnott added along with Marc Griffen (youth & A team player who made some first team appearances last season) and one other from the youths / A team


PROVISIONAL DUNDALK FC 22-MAN SQUAD FOR 2010
GK Peter Cherrie
GK Matt Gregg
DF Garry Breen
DF Liam Burns
DF Wayne Hatswell
DF Shaun Kelly
DF Ciarán McGuigan
DF Nathan Murphy
DF Michael Synnott
MF Alan Cawley
MF Stephen Maher
MF JJ Melligan
MF Tom Miller
MF AN Other
MF/FW Marc Griffen
MF/FW Ross Gaynor
MF/FW Fahrudin Kudozovic
FW Neale Fenn
FW Sam Malsom
FW Tiarnán Mulvenna
FW Billy Smith
FW Johnny Breen

Do you think Cawley will start for ye?

[Ezeikial]

Do you think Cawley will start for ye?

He is in with a shout - but started on the bench for the final pre-season game against Monaghan, which I think is significant.

In my opinion the likely starting XI is:

GK : Peter Cherrie
DF : Shaun Kelly, Garry Breen, Liam Burns, Wayne Hatswell
MF: Stephen Maher, Tom Miller, JJ Melligan, Ross Gaynor
FW: Neale Fenn, Faz Kudozovic

SB : Alan Cawley, Sam Malsom, Michael Synnott, Nathan Murphy, Matt Gregg (main challengers for places - in that order)

Note: Tiarnan Mulvenna is currently out injured

Bray Wanderers Squad at the moment:

Goalkeepers: Brian Kane, Robert Lambert

Defenders: Daire Doyle, Philip Knight, Shane O’Connor, Philip Higgins, Nicky Byrne, Dave Webster, David Tyrell, Colm Tresson, Adam O’Connor, Daniel Ennis, Llyod Massey.


Midfielders: James Kavanagh, David O’Neill, Dean Zambra, Ian Tuohy; Chris Shields, Dave O’Neill, Guy King Hall, Dane Massey, Dylan Vickers.

Strikers: Shane O’Neill, Jake Kelly, Dean Barrett, John Mulroy, Andrei Georgescu


Hopefully a few experienced players will be added to the squad this week

So something like

Kane
Tyrrell Webster Tresson Knight
Massey, Shields, O'Neill, Georgescu
Kelly & Mulroy

for the game against Dundalk is it?

I presume you don't have 2 midfielders called David O'Neill and Dave O'Neill?!

--- Edit

Actually just seen your pre-season line-ups and Daire Doyle and Shane O'Neill look like they'd start in place of Colm Tresson (he's surely got enough experience for everyone else) and Franco.

Did Colm Tresson not retire?

30 players?????

[CSFShels]

And not a headturner amongst em.

[Battery Rover]

yeah 30 players of which 16 will be eligible for the Under 20s league as well

[Sam_Heggy]

yeah 30 players of which 16 will be eligible for the Under 20s league as well

Is it not switched to Under 19's this season though?

Eoghan O'Shea will cause serious damage from set pieces for Athlone, was impressed with him when he was playing for Tullamore in the A League.

[Battery Rover]

Is it not switched to Under 19's this season though?

Not sure but they are all under 19 as well as far as I know

[Acornvilla]

Not sure but they are all under 19 as well as far as I know

how many of that 16 are going to get anywhere near the team thou?

[BobtheDrog]

Eoghan Osbourne
Damien Brennan

Eric McGill
Brendan McGill
Gareth O'Connor
Brian King
Paul Crowley
Michael Daly
Darragh McNamara

Robbie Martin
Glen Fitzpatrick
John Flood
Jamie Duffy

[DmanDmythDledge]

King and Crowley are holding midfielders, Brennan is a RB/CB.

[Dodge]

I'll revise up any predictions I made about Dundalk. That squad looks a lot stronger than I had thought it would be

[Shelsman]

Have to consider Sporting Fingal as favourites (much as I don't want to). Maybe Rovers will win it -good one for the neutral I think.

just reposting from the drogs forum but I'll edit it now to keep people happy

[Stevo Da Gull]

Did Colm Tresson not retire?

From what I hear he was considering it, but signed up for another year. Mind you we were supposed to be a first division team when he signed up, so I wouldn't expect him to start in any games against full time players. Speaking of which, how many teams in the league will have a few full-timers this year?

29.

If anyone else but Bohs are to win it, I think Sligo Rovers winning would be good for the league.
I wouldn`t be surprised if Sporting Franchise are battling it out with UCD for second and third last spot. Sorry Bray, you were shafted in the FAI/Cork debacle and will do well to get 20 points.
