Drogheda (A) 09-08-13

I'm optimistic. The performance really should at least match that of the one against Cork.
Kelly and O'Leary are suspended going by the LOI Blog, so could see a first start for Nyoni with Williams at left full, Nzuzi at right full and Folan, Nyoni in the middle. Maybe Hughes in for O'Leary too.
Ill go for a 2 1 win.

might also play Calla instead of Nyoni. Will be interesting to see if Gaffney plays with Bosekota back. We've played well the last couple weeks, do the same again and we should be good enough.

No Carel Tiofack tonight either as he hasn't got clearance to play yet.

Hopefully Axel can come back to haunt them tonight after his harsh sending off up there at the start of the season.

Going to be optimistic and say 1-2 with Axel and Curran scoring.

Carel named on the bench but he said on twitter he wasn't cleared. No Nyoni in the squad.

Team is: Ryan, Costello, Nzuzi, Folan, Williams, Gamble, Bradley, Hughes, Gaffney, Curran, Galbraith.

Subs: Cusack, Whitehead, Bossekota, Feeney, Rainsford, Sheedy, Tiofack.

They wanna be careful with Carel. Should be kept well away from the match day squad until cleared, you don't want any chance of ineligible player charges.

I presume they got the all clear later today or he wouldn't have even been allowed to be named. He had on twitter that on the way up he still hadn't heard about clearance.

Carel listed in the picture of the match day line ups but not on extratime.ie. Was he put down by accident and later erased?

**fieldofmarkets** · 09/08/2013, 9:10 PM

extratime updates sounded woeful. what happened?

Still big weaknesses in the squad. Couldn't cope without O'Leary (Hughes was ok, but not a patch on O'Leary)
Costelloe did ok, but got no help from the wingers, Brennan is different class.
We were fairly poor to be honest, bar a couple of half chances.
Taylor's talk about "oweing Drogheda one" was just plain stupid.

I wouldn't be familiar with your team outside of Ryan, Gamble & Bradley, I thought Costelloe's performance was the most noticeable for you on Friday.
