Being realistic is not defeatist.

Two players shouldn't make a team. I don't think many teams will go up to Finn Harps this season and get a result, they are very physical but also have some very skillful players and made Limerick work very hard for our point. A win against Salthill and then we will have O'Flynn back in a couple of games after that. There are some fine replacements there such as Quinn, Breen and Coughlan. I though Quinn was fantastic on Friday he will be a quality player. Breen is fast like Garry Sheahan and with Peter White and Corrie Tracy to come into that defence I think we will deal with the loss of Paddy next week.

Apologies if that previous Post appears to be a bit random. I did post an 'introduction' of sorts as my first Post but that was held for moderation and doesn't seem to have appeared since I've been allowed to post.

2 player sdont make a team but losing 2 of your best players and in the same positons seriously weakens any team. We are left with just Hynes. He shouldnt have been playing on the wing v Harps anyway offered nothuing out there.

O Flynn is out fo 4 games.
Quinn fantastic? You have very low standards 3 or 4 good touches and was good for the goal went missing for the 2nd half.

Breen is fast like Sheehan but that doesnt mean he is as good.

And Peter White to come back in to defence come back from what he was on the bench in Harps so he is just not picked.

McCarthy was terrible against Harps so no way would i trust him and Calla up against Cummins.

I agree but Peter White hadn't played a full pre-season due to illness so he wasn't picked, he is one of our better defenders when fully fit. Just saying we have players to come into that defence (which was poor against Harps) such as White and Corrie Tracy which will strengthen the defence. Ya we will be without Garry Sheahan for a long while but O' Flynn is only suspended for a few games and we have adequate cover if you ask me. Obviously not as good as him but Quinn, Hynes, Coughlan and Breen can do a job up there and Shane Tracy looked sharp when he came on so no reason why we shouldn't be positive at such an early stage. Hopefully all our bad luck has already come.
