It's brilliant how quickly the route 1 stuff turns into the successful low block when the results are good. Dundalk did the same in Tallaght and got a result so it's nice to see it employed against them.
Wish we'd done a bit of that early doors last night. We were dire. Shels ran amok and could have been 3 up after 30 mins. Burke came on and the game shifted completely, albeit Shels were 2 up and happy enough to sit back. We created enough to win the game even with that but we aren't clicking in front of goal yet, and they also had chances on the break. Two great saves from Pohls and a few from Kearns stopped it being a 4-4 scoreline. Game was a cracker compared to other fixtures between us. Shels first win against us since 2012 I think so their celebrations were understandable. They have some quality players now. Molloy is brilliant. Met some Shels lads afterwards and they were delighted. Good stuff going on there. That zombie song is woejus though.
We will only get better but there are some serious worries now. Wingback is an obvious weak spot but I'd be concerned about our options up front now too. We really need Jack back.
Mad start to the season.
