Treaty (A)

[culloty82]

With Limerick a comparatively short spin up the road by LoI standards, one would hope for a substantial travelling contingent in attendance at Markets Field on Friday. Treaty have shown an impressive upturn in form in recent weeks, consolidated with an excellent draw at Colman's Park on Friday, and they'll be hoping for further progress against Waterford in tonight's postponed game in hand. Rather bizarrely after ten games, it's still hard to analyse what level of performance Kerry should be consistently delivering, with the first half against Galway showing the potential within the squad, yet the second 45 minutes demonstrated both ever-present frailties and the difficulty in sustaining standards over a full game. The management will have targeted Treaty, Longford and Harps fixtures as matches where Kerry can seek that elusive opening win, yet simply securing a first point on the road may be a more realistic aim for Friday.

Kerry supporters have been very understanding. Supporters need something to shout about. Hopefully lessons learned will come together in a performance that will deliver a much needed win in one of the next few games.

We took a hiding tonight at home so will expect a response Friday. We are no great shakes, a mid table set up who finish mid table, its neither here nor there that mid table gets you into the play offs these days, its nice to keep the division alive but the points gap from 4th 5th up to the promoted side has been huge each year. That said, we are better than where we are at the moment, not by loads but by maybe half a dozen points & three or four league places.

1-1 or probably a 2-1 home win would be my bet. Kerry will win soon but hopefully not just yet.

Many kerry fans heading up to this?

The one change from last week is Guthrie in for Hannafin. Matt Keane is on the bench for his return to the Markets Field.
