    Our fitness is a big issue. Sammo and O'Sullivan were the only ones fully fit.

    There was a serious disjoint between the centre backs and Bennion. Too much indecision which will lead to goals conceded. Nkololo was only ok, far too light in tackles. When you see Havo putting his head in block a shot and Nkololo pulling out of tackles that were to be in his favour was very frustrating. Tyrell made some silly tackles in the second half which was disappointing, but played well. I like him. Purdy was good, and Smmo was brilliant in picking th ball up in midfield. If O'Sullivan was to get better service, he'd could have had another hatrick.

    About right, if not on the high side tbh.

    Good first half, sat back too much second half. Harsh to write off someone for the season after two games.

    I echo what Bosco said about the atmosphere in section o. I think there are a few reasons:

    1. Too many gaps between the elder section o heads and the other section o lads. If we had everyone standing a row up in the same block it may make a difference.
    2. We still have to sort out the songs with flansiro in it..
    3. It might help if a few of the lads had a few drinks before the game to calm the shyness!

    in practice it will get better. The stand were impressive last night imo..
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Well said L.T.F.C that was one of the bravest blocks your likely to see from Havo especially as he is only back from injury, I thought Nkolo played well but he needs to be braver on the ground.

    As for the fitness levels theres no reason they shouldnt be fit with their own fitness coach and all the gym/nutrition programs he gives them in pre-season.

    I suppose you could put it down to the game on Monday, but fitness was a definite issue.

    Usually takes a few competitive games before they'd be at full fitness. If they're still struggling in three or four weeks it'd be more of a concern.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
