Merview at home

Needless to say this is a must win game with the rod squad only a point behind.. Least havo is the only suspension and hope said on twitter he might be back.. After loosing a 3 nil lead tony will want to have the lads fired up and i think we will do enough in the first half to win... Hopefully waterford will do us a favour against athlone ..

Not confident at all. Mervue already ran us extremely close in 2 games this season (1-1 and 1-2) and some would argue they deserved to win at least 1 of those games so will they finally set the record straight like Cobh did because after all we should have never win 4-3 down there the first time either.

Just looking at Mervues squad from last weekend and its amazing the talent they actually have in their squad. Ryan manning has been called the new seani Maguire but we always seem to deal with him well so it's actually his strike partner I'm worried about, Garry Shanahan, he scored for Dundalk against us in the League Cup last season and got man of the match he was outstanding that night, he's extremely strong, quick and skilful so I'd be very worried about him.

The likes of Tom King didn't even start for them last week so that shows you the strength of their squad!

Once again in expecting them to get te ball down and out pass us while we hoof it but as long as we win I don't really care how we do it.

I fancy us to put in a performance with at least 3 or 4 goals. Mervue will be on a high after harps game but coming to CCS we wont make it easy for them well i hope we wont make it easy for them.

Who care when they got into the 1st division we should only care about De Town getting out of it into the premier league,

**outspoken** · 24/07/2013, 8:48 PM

Ah I see, bit slow on the uptake there haha

**L.T.F.C.** · 24/07/2013, 10:03 PM

Tom King was injured no?

**Darklordsbane** · 25/07/2013, 6:02 AM

Any predictions of what the line up will be

Ah maybe he was just returning from injury but to be fair that's all he seems to do these days, terrible luck with injuries.

**De Town** · 25/07/2013, 10:27 AM

He was playing for Ireland in the world student games for the last couple of weeks and was just back home before the game last week, which is probably why he was on the bench. He wasn't injured anyway.

Hard to see them making any changes after winning 4-0 last time out, could be a real asset off the bench. Not confident at all.
