On the current squad, I'd agree.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
We'll have Gary Cronin as an option for the left too and more than likely at least one central midfielder, possibly two
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

So would you put Myler on the bench?

Stephen Paisley should start the season at centre half.
I forgot about Paiso. When you think about it, there is going to be some competition for places. Manager must have plans for O'Connor and Myler all the same... Perhaps it might prove hard to hold on to Barry next season and maybe it's preparation. The Drogs don't hold these lads in such respect for no reason. There's a real sence of loss there.

Looks like ye are all consigning Eric to the bence for the season.
Whilst conceding Mylers scoring record in the past the quality of ball being provided to the front runners needs to be improved considerably on recent seasons for him to prosper. Remember much of his success is from penalties and free kicks and I feel he may be slowing up a bit in general play.
Then again supposing the quality of ball improved and Eric was playing would he not score more goals?
Also perhaps the worst penalty taker in the history of the league might decide to let someone else have a go! Nah that would never happen as Alan is happy with a 50% return from the spot.
Agree 110% with you there and on the penalty takers. And any striker would prosper if we played to feet. Myler has the skill to play that game. Still, couldn't be looking forward to a season more.

delighted with the signings about time too! davy byrne has being linked with us with tom mohan and if these guys come we will have some squad for next season!
i assume myler will take the setpieces outside the box like last seasons effort in the last game of the season!
we will be hard to beat again next season!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
No Spud Murphy??
Instead of who?
Why have a go at Alan ffs, as far as I know Barry is captain and put himself forward on the pitch,not a conscious managerial decision, how many penos did we get last year, one I think, did Barry take it? no..
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
If you were manager of a team and the captain insisted on taking the penalties, half of which he missed, would you not replace him as penalty taker? I thought Barry missed two last year (one in the pre season) but maybe I am wrong. Anyway the main point I wanted to make was that comparing strikers who take penalty's and those who don't is a bit unfair. The original idea was not to have a cut at Alan but now that you mention it Longfordian yes I blame him 100% for allowing Barry continue as penalty taker after he missed in both a League Cup Final and an FAI cup final.
I can see your point alright but as far as i know he told him he wasnt taking them any more, perhaps he should have told him more forcefully but what was he going to do, run on the pitch and grab the ball off him? I'd rather see someone else taking them too though to be honest, and I forgot that he'd also missed one in Athlone this season in the league cup, we only got two penos all season, we got one in pre-season as well which he scored. Either way there's more important things going on..

didnt vinny score from a peno against cork last season?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
lavine is not a clever footballer dont make me laugh xlexMyler is a good pro who knows where the net is. He works hard and is a clever footballer, something I believe Lavine isn't.
So would you put Myler on the bench?
and to your second question yes i would have him on the bench well actually i wouldnt have bought him but that is another matter altogether.
anyway my team from the current squad:
Digger
Dillo
Ferguson
0 Connor
Paisley
Kirby
Martin
Fitzgerald
Prunty
Lavine
Baker
and yes cosmo no spud
I must admit that i am happy to get o connor as i rate him better than Gartland.another thing xlex if matthews was to play myler it would baker that should be dropped because at least with eric he will give 100% baker doesnt.also if your claim that myler is an out and out goalscorer(minus penos and free kicks) then eric would be a perfect foil for him.Another thing that strikes me about the above posts is the absence of Shane Barrett.remember it is only two seasons ago he was one of cup heros.also worth noting is the fact he was on the left for three quarters of the season which i never liked he is an option up front.I still think we are two signings short of the finished article yet martinho.

hang on a second, dessie works as hard as anyone else and has the class to go with it, as good as eric may be, dessie is a lot fitter, works a lot harder and also has a lot more natural ability to go with it. he also keeps his head down and although is a flare player he never expects to be treated any different to any of the other players, his goal scoring record last season alone would put him ahead of eric. another thing, as happy as i am to c o'connor come in, who is a top player, he's still a a long way off gartland, and paisley fot that matter.
This post is one of the worst I've ever seen. I've been reading all the posts and peeps shouldn't be slagging off Matthews
. But also Eric

you call yourself a fan?? how can you call one of your players a useless prik... it doesnt make sense.I never slagged off eric i just pointed out that dessie was a better team player and probably scored more goals in a season than eric has since he's been at the club... which is what they are payed to do...am i wrong??and i never slagged off matthews either... plus why are you sayin how good eric was at galway thats no good to longford town is it.. and if we're gettin into that dessie was class at shels... he's won everythin in the league and is the most succesful player at longford with a world cup medal to boot!!!!!!!
