GK Rogers (Sligo)

RB O'Brien (Pats)
LB Bermingham (Pats)
CB McGuinness (Sligo)
CB McNally (Drogs)

MF Ventre (Sligo)

GK Sava (Drogheda)

RB O'Brien (Pats)

MF G. Brennan (Drogheda)
MF Finn (Shamrock Rvs)

FW Quigley (Sligo)
FW North (Sligo)

It's funny that Twigg will still end up top scorer although I doubt too many would include him in their squad!

[Real Rover]

Your teams should read:

Rogers
O'Brien Peers McGuinness Bermingham
Russell Finn Ventre O'Connor
Quigley North

Notable absentees:
Sava, G. Brennan, Fabio, Fagan, Forrester, Corry, Gaynor, Foran, Waters, J. Byrne, McDaid, E. McMillan.

I'm counting to ten and leaving the thread now that some has picked Peter ****ING HYNES

[adamd164]

I like Hynes, he'll not score too many himself but he works his socks off for the team whenever I've seen him and creates a lot of chances for those around him. But anyway....

[Jofspring]

Going on Hynes performances with us last year and what I've seen of him with Drogheda on telly, every team could do with a players like Hynes in the squad, big, strong and works his arse off. When we first signed him people were telling us he was a waste of time. He has come a long way in the last few years in fairness to him.

[MeathDrog]

Prendergast has been immense for us this season. I'd pick him ahead of McNally and Gannon that were already mentioned.

[Ezeikial]

I get the feeling that some here are desperately searching the Drogheda squad to find a fair representation to reflect their league position.

There are very few, if any, outstanding players at Drogheda - they simply have a fantastic collective spirirt and organisation.

At a stretch perhaps Gavin Brennan and Derek Prendergast (maybe even Fabio) but Gannon and Hynes - no chance!

Bit unfair on Sava, he's the best keeper in the league IMO. If I'm overrepresenting Drogs players it's probably because they won me a lot of money this season.

A couple of seasons ago if somebody said to me Danny Ventre would be in a league team of the year I would have laughed in their face.
probably deserves a place in the squad alright as he has been effective this year but he is still limited as a player.

[dejadem]

Fair points on the the Drogheda collective spirit but Gavin Brennan and Derek Prendergast certainly have been outstanding for large parts of the season. When these guys play well, the team plays well. I think with Hynes maybe because he has been through so many clubs there is a preconception about him, but he has been excellent this season.

[PartySaint]

Sava (Drogs)

O'Brien (Pats)
Peers (Sligo)
McGuinness (Sligo)
Bermo (Pats)

Finn (Shams)
Corry (UCD)
Russell (Pats)

Quigley (Sligo)
North (Sligo)
Waters (Bray)*

*Just to mix it up a little

For got about Kenny Browne, maybe put him ahead of one of the Sligo lads at the back.

[nigel-harps1954]

Have to agree RE Sava. Best keeper in the League. Fantastic keeper.

[sligoman]

Rogers (Rovers)

Gilbert (Shams), Peers (Rovers), McGuinness (Rovers), Bermingham (Pats)

Cawley (Rovers), Ventre (Rovers), Finn (Shams)

Quigley (Rovers), North (Rovers), Byrne* (Bray)

*Done alright for being an aul fella these days

[CrowdedHouse]

Fabio anyone ?

He's been very good the handful of times I've watched Sligo this year (in his role), but there's a bit of tokenism about me picking him. I'd much rather have Chambers in there but can't be too biased (Corry's another who could be there)

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Rogers
O'Brien
Browne
McGuinness (player of the year for me)
Murphy (haven't seen any left back have a great season - he's been good the few games we played v Cork)
Russell
Finn
Ventre
Waters
Quigley
North

[Dillonman]

Prendergast has been immense for us this season. I'd pick him ahead of McNally and Gannon that were already mentioned.

Took the word right out of my mouth, Prendergast has been signing of the season IMO. Hes alot like vidic, in that Vidic makes Ferdinand look good and this chap makes McNally look good.

[adamd164]

Murphy (haven't seen any left back have a great season - he's been good the few games we played v Cork)

He's been solid for us.

For most of the season our defensive problems have been to do with the centre of defence. I'd be amazed if Dan Murray plays again for us, who knows what he'll do next year if he doesn't get offered a new deal.
