PD Team of the Season so far

**Dodge** · 22/06/2011, 10:23 AM

I'm sure he's had his moment, but he hasn't been one of the top 2 centre halves in the the league this season.

Sometimes being a UCD fan really sucks.

Gregg; Sullivan, E McMillan, Shortall, Stevens; Murphy, McFaul, Finn, Doyle; D McMillan, Rusk.

That's down to personal choice isn't it?

**Dodge** · 22/06/2011, 12:19 PM

Of course. We're never going to reach consensus, just giving my opinion like the rest...

I like the way even in the best UCD XI in the league, the forwards are still crap.

(You could have put in Killer to avoid having to use a current player. Or Sammon, in which case that team trumps any mentioned so far)

I just scanned the line-ups from the last round's games, so I missed Kilduff (and Kenna, too). But throw those two in there, and that's a damned fine team.

Sammon doesn't really count, as he's not playing in the LoI this year.

**pineapple stu** · 22/06/2011, 2:06 PM

Pfft. Look how bad we are; we need all the help we can get!

I agree. I've thought that since he first moved to left back for us. He's good going forward though.

Is Mitchell the ginger lad at the back for Bray? If he is he was super against us in the game out in the Carlisle, We only managed to score because he was off injured at the time

That's the one alrite. Put in some phenomenal displays, the two against Shams stand out.

**dfx-** · 22/06/2011, 10:55 PM

His display in Tallaght was phenomenal

Not quite fair on the lad Dodge.
He was an awfull defender when he first joined us from Galway, wasnt comfortable at all, constantly caught out of position.
But last season he came on significantly.
And this season is probably his best yet for us, some really solid displays.
From what ive seen of left backs in this league he is definetly in contention for a spot on the team.

He's not good enough in the air or strong enough in the tackle for me. I'd like to see him played left midfield, beats players with ease.

Possibly. Only really see players against Pats and on highlights (which show nothing of course) and everytime I've seen him he's looked a poor defender.

Likewise that Mitchell lad at Bray. He was good in the Carlisle groudns but shocking in Richmond, so I'm only commenting on that. He might be MOTM in all other games

I picked Stevens as I think he's a good player but talking to a Rovers mate he said he's had a poor season (and even thinks he should be dropped). ON reflection I think Massey is a great shout for LB. Not many great full backs around.

For Pats Pender is as solid as they come. Keane is better going forward (and I picked him above) but for Pats I wouldn’t swap Pender for anyone. Ian Bermingham started the season well but injuries have taken their toll again. Jake Carroll looks to have huge potential

Some of the picks here are hilarious IMO. Hawkins? Brennan? Mitchell? Brennan is an attacking/creative player and Bohs have only scored 16 goals all season?

But then you can only pick what you see. Kearns scared the bejesus out of me in Richmond earlier this season. Himself and Gaynor where phenomenal. Haven’t seen anyone else play as well as that, so that’s why I picked him. Obviously Dundalk fans know more than I do about him

Madden has been solid for us all season as well as last year. Kearns sh!tes himself when faced one on one and only goes back., I rate Gaynor far more than him as Gaynor is where we get most of our goals from, his crosses and set piece taking is phenominal

Saw Stevens three times this season and Kearns actually killed him on the pitch, think hes the only player Kearns did that too so I defo wouldnt have Stevens in there. North is touch and go, didnt he go 5 games at the start of the season picking fights with John Gill and not able to even get a shot on target? Kavanagh is good, was impressed with him at Oriel.

**KBurke** · 23/06/2011, 1:26 PM

I think the fairest way to pick a team is to let us Galway United fans do it. No fear of us being biased as we havent a single player anywhere near such a team
