Like I said I think Walsh is a real talent and it's clear that we are missing that bit of creativety at times in the middle of the park so let the young lad in I say.
I think nows the time to put walsh back in and let gillespie in as sub as he performs way better.. we made it hard at times against a very stubborn salthill game..Cowan scored a goal of the season contender Des hope scored a crackin backpost header too.. btw thats the first time town have won three games on the bounce in the league since the releagation season.. eighteen points from nine games is fantastic..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

I agree about walsh....he always seems very eager to impress whenever he comes on.Gillespie on the wing doesnt seem to work,his passing and crossing is good but if you are playing on the wing you need to be taking on players,whenever he gets the ball one on one with the defender he seems to have no ideas...having said that if he is going to play in the middle of the park he is going to need to put himself about a bit more....
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
Pretty much so far with Gillespie hes been solid if unspectacular, could be doing a lot worse but also a lot better, least hes not been totally crap like some suggested he would be, I can't see him being dropped for the cork game thou.
Brady, morley and Walsh are all definitely better at taking men on thou, Walsh probably the most complete of that threesome
I don't know why Walsh isn't getting more game time! I think he is great!
Sporting F*ck All!

9 games in and 6 wins, fantastic stuff! Last season when things werent going well like they were saturday, we would have dropped points. I do think we've matured and although we are no where near the finished article and rode our luck at times (salthill missed a sitter of a far post header just before don scored) it is very encouraging. Gillespie wasnt great the other night as stated above but I dont think Walsh is a natural replacement, Walsh is a talented footballer, a great deliverer of the ball, but he has a tendancy to disappear during games and is still learning. Don again is a huge player for us, and he is nearly unrecognisable from his perfomances last year. Him and ozzy are linking up well and look to have a good understanding.
Excellent start to the season but our next 2 games will tell a lot in terms of our season, keep it up lads, come on the town!![]()
