Weekedn Friday 7th June

[2 Year Contract]

And McLaughlin goes off injured again ! We really are cursed with full backs this year. Agree about Turner at left back. I’d actually play Jason McClelland there while Breslin is out. Good footballer and he’s played there before.

It’s genuinely mad stuff, never seen anything like the levels of injury prone-ness of the three right backs. The wheetabix club they are. Agree on McClelland being a better option at left back. May well have to be that way against rovers with 3 of the back 4 coming off injured tonight, it could well be the same back four that ended the game tonight playing, which rovers wingers will be licking their lips at you’d imagine

Second time in three home games getting points in the 95th minute. Could get used to that!

I do want to like Kerry, but they're a hard team to warm to. Just the six bookings tonight, up one from last time. A really cynical side.

Good win that. Thought you blew it with the penalty miss. Kerry like a tackle alright.

Another impressive home win from Waterford. We didn't play that well in 1st half and probably a bit lucky to be 1 0 up at half time. We were very good in 2nd half with Parsons finishing well for number 2. Padraig Amond scored 2 more either side of a consolation goal from Waweru.
Should be a big crowd for the visit of Shelbourne next Thursday.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Yeah thought ye were very good once ye got the lead goal and could easily have been a few more only for McGinty. We had plenty of chances early on and going ahead would certainly have helped. Only time we’ve come back after going behind this season to get anything was first game of the season. Hopefully get a few players back/in after the break.

Contender for miss of the season from Pattison very early on

Having seen Dundalk twice in a week now and playing OK, how bad was O’D that he couldn’t win a match with them?!

We still struggle to score (bar 20 mins against Pats)
The only other game we scored more than 1 goal in was V Bohs and haven't scored in 11 out of 20 games.

I think we will comfortably finish 9th, maybe manage 7th/8th but that will depend on who we manage to get in, in the summer.

Need a Goalkeeper
Davies is prob best full back in league (poor for goal last night)
Boyle is fine
Johnson on loan is gone in July by all accounts
Need a leftback (Walker we signed in summer is up there with worse footballers I've seen play with Dundalk and that includes the first division days)
Benson/Doyle and Keane if he could get fit are fine for the middle
Horgan/Mountany/O Kane/Mahon (out injured) all more than good enough out wide
Gullan is ok and impressed with Kennys cameos but we do need a centre forward

So we need a GK, CB, LB and Striker...very hard to find in the summer but I expect us to finish 9th even without getting them in

I think you'd have to draw the conclusion he had lost the dressing room.

It may get pretty ugly against Rovers alright. Not a good time to be facing them. Though having said that we did well out in Tallaght.

[da bishop]

Treaty full value for the win at the MF,scoreline flattered Bray who were harmless tbf.Tommy Barrett on a roll 2 wins out 3....oh forgot thats also 2 wins from 17.

Strange one I always read Dundalk fans lauding this guy but that's 4 games I have watched him at Tolka he has been awful every time

[Nesta99]

An astute coach would know that aside from being a solid defender he is an attacking outlet and pin him back. In theory that should create space elsewhere but its arguable that we have players in other positions to do so. He has been a success certainly in relation to the amount of signings from abroad that are flops. Id like to see him played on the wing if we had fullback cover as he is very effective going forward - im sure he was signed as a wingback.

depends if we have any of our crocked back and even at that they’re likely to be rusty. And we’ve 1 point out of 6 against ye so far.

I’d call it a 1-1

Plus Pico playing in WCQ tomorrow with Cape Verde and Kenny and Noonan away with U21s in Croatia ; so who knows what sort of depleted squad will be available on Thursday

I’d probably take that to be honest. We do need to start getting some wins soon though.

Tuta must have picked up an injury in training, with Aaron O'Sullivan between the sticks tonight. The management really need to address Okwute's disciplinary record, with him beginning a two-game ban today for his tenth booking of the season.
