You know... it's never going to be about our best back four

[Acornvilla]

No worries, I'll get off work next weekend and play

[De Town]

Whats wrong with Deans?

He's absolutely ****e.

In saying that, he'll still start when fit I'd say. Cousins seems to like him, and he's captain.

Ah the immortal thread returns...

Id agree, wouldnt rate Deans but Cousins will pick him. Flood is injured so he will prob start with Deans and Haverty centre backs, Dowling right full and Lee left side

[outspoken]

Dowling played center half against drogheda and did alright would anyone say hes in with a shout of playing as a CB this season?

[De Town]

When everyone is fit, I'd like to see us go with

Dowling Hope Haverty Lee

My guess at Cousins' favourite back four would be

O'Reilly Deans Haverty Lee

[outspoken]

I think Dowling looks decent at center back but playing him there leaves us with very little cover at right full with O'Rielly out injured so while I'd like to play Dowling at CB my back four would have to be

Dowling Haverty Deans Cronnin

I like Jeff Flood personally but I dont think he played in pre-season did he so I'd go for experience with Deans same goes regarding Lee and cronnin.

[Tallanted]

Flood is out with broken foot, id imagine that starting against Mervue will be Dowling Deans Haverty Cronin, based on fitness of other players at the moment

[ltfc_2004]

yes the thread you read and weep afterwards and realise how good the team used to be ... :-(

anyway onwards and upwards, this is the season to step up to the mark and get promotion and hopefully the lads will get mentioned in the same breath in future years as digger, mumbles, vinny etc Come on De Town
