Were you at the game? If so you wouldn't ask "What about Vaughan?". He has been little short of brutal so far this year. He is off the pace, slow, tired looking and ALWAYS with his back to goalHe has unquestionable ability and good feet, but I'm waking up to the cold fact that this may be one year too far for him. He has 4 goals so far this season, two came against Galway in a 4-1 win, both headers set up beautifully by great wing play, one was a peno and the other one (against Limerick) he can't even remember because he was knocked unconscious going for the header
Michael Holt had 5 inside the first month before he left...Anyway, when we had Holt we could start him on the left and effectively play with an interchangeable 3 up front, Holt providing all sort of options...but with Holty gone and Philly Gorman in argueably worse form than Vaughan (who is club captain by the way
) Poor Robbie Collins is cutting a lonely and increasingly frustrated figure up front. As are we in the stands. Astute signing very much needed.

Maynard the radio commentator reckoned he was doing great. I was at the League Cup game and to the best of my knowledge he wasn't playing. Collins came on as a sub and looked very sharp. If my memory serves me correctly Vaughan was banging them in for Dundalk last season. Funny, I thought Philly Hughes was a great player last season and can't figure out why either of our clubs released him. He'd certainly be doing the donkey work to free up Collins. Holt leaving was a bitter blow alright, just out of the blue. His last ever goal for you was class.
