What's revisionist about it?
Nice bit of revisionism there Balboa.
What's revisionist about it?
You just gotta love it that since my mostly pessimistic post 3 weeks ago the following day Tolka Park was saved and we have gone onto to win 4 in a row!
No injuries, no suspensions and actually getting to play your best starting eleven can make a hell of a difference in this league. The trio of Farrell, Moylan and Boyd all clicking immediately together in attack, Dervin, O'Driscoll, Griffin starting to look more assured of themselves after some shaky performances, JJ Lunney coming back from injury has been really brilliant in the middle of the park and has brought a calmness we badly needed
Not getting carried away and predicting we beat Rovers on Friday to go 5 in a row or anything, I think a number of teams in this league will go on as many win steaks as winless droughts. These 12 points give Shels a welcome breathing room over Harps and UCD, we just have to avoid injuries and suspensions and add 3 quality players in the summer to bulk up the bench to have a go at finishing in that top 6

The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
From a Pat's point of view i think it's obvious we need more experience in midfield and at right back and i'm sure Clancy will be looking to get a couple of players in during the window and hopefuly get Jamie Lennon back fit as well and try to push on in the second half of the season.
I’ve seen a couple of rumours of Alfie Lewis coming back to Pats. Not sure there is more to it than wishful thinking though. Three in the middle of the park seemed to work well against Shels, so maybe that’s the way to go. I think it would be harsh on Adam O’Reilly to leave him out once Lennon is fit, he gets through a huge amounts of work and is great for getting the foot in. A lot of negative comments about his ability on the ball, but I think he’s decent enough.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Yeah three in the middle definitely works a lot better and i was glad to see Forrester playing further forward against Bohs. I think O'Reilly's done well and he was great against Bohs but we need to be able to change things around in midfield at time especially with Friday and Monday games and we're relying on young players a lot.
