Hi Chiefo, delighted you are looking forward to the Mondogs!
I only got to see snipets of our game Fri nite and while we definately had the upper hand in the first half, injuries seemed to slow us down big time in the 2nd half but they were all little niggles and nothing major so I reckon we will be almost at full strenght for you on Friday. We were unlucky against Shelbourne in our first game with our sending off and a goal disallowed that should have stood so I would say that we have started the season quite well all things considering.
You have brought in some great players in the past few months and will be far from the walk over you were last season so I am expecting a highly competitive game Friday night.
Mick Cooke is a miracle worker, we still have one of the smallest budgets yet he managed to lure Philly Hughes back and keep Karl Bermingham, two of the best strikers in the first division. People slag him and say that we have no ambition but it is now clear that we are following what we set out to do a few years ago, improve slowly and in a sustainable manner. That said, I reckon we have it cut out for us to improve on last season as the division is much more competitive this year, and we are less of dark horses and more like shadow ponies.
Make sure to come and introduce yourself Fri nite, as I like to meet as many foot.iers as possible!
