Cian Byrne will start next season. Top talent.

Should have been run from Dundalk the day he lamped Diallo from behind in the Brandywell. Cowardly.

Kacper Radkowski rumoured in Poland to be heading to Waterford on a permanent deal�.

That was the talk but seems to have quietened down of late. There was talk in the Indo last week that he may have options in League 1 & 2 so I'm guessing he's holding out until January to see what he can get.

You could apply that to anything, like lads being accused of racism.

No major loss if I am being honest. A rebuild is needed and a better calibre of player required than many of the squad from last season.

Seen that on Twitter from some Polish player tracker account.

There should have been alarm bells ringing out Dalymount last season when Bohs were still signing Polish lads and loanees for their backline right up the first week of the season, you can't build a team in the LOI with scattergun assembled defence like that because even if some of the foreign lads are half decent if they are on one year contracts they are a high risk of leaving as Bohs are experiencing

Bohs have been linked to Cornwall and Keeley this off season I really think they have to seal the signings of those two because there is major slim pickings at central defence aswell within the league or Bohs are again relying on the foreign/UK transfer market lottery

Wouldn't be surprised if we were in for Horton again. He doesn't seem to be getting game time for Cheltenham and I believe his contract with them is up at the end of the season. But generally agree the defence has been poor the last few years and some of that is down to poor recruitment. Fingers crossed that there is a plan in place because I think there are 3 defenders signed for next year (Kirk, Bart and Cian Byrne) maybe 1 or 2 of the 19s are ready to play some minutes but we cannot be dependent on them to start every week.

**Jack B** · 09/12/2023, 12:16 PM

Yeah, does feel like Bohs are going to encounter the same issues now that ended up costing them last season. A good, well-balanced rest of the team but ending up in a scramble to sort out the defence. In hindsight it's a bit strange they didn't try to blood Cian Byrne in a bit more if they rate him enough to stay but not Nowak and Radlowski, who were keeping him out of the side.

Saying that though a few days can change everything in this league. They could announce both Keeley and Cornwall next week and while not groundbreaking or anything you've suddenly got an extremely solid platform to build from at this level.

McCourt was a panic buy after they wouldn't pay a fee for Mark Connolly or his increased wages when his loan ended, then he then moved to Derry, but he was poor, very poor, think one good game, home to Rovers, can't recall too many others.
