2026 Predictions and early musings

[Dermobohs]

Well before we see a better idea of the 2026 squads i certsinly wont be pinning my colours to the mast but early thoughts

Rovers: No Jack Byrne and now no Danny Mandroiu either for next season, Gaffney another year older as is Burke. Pico, Grace etc,,,,unless we pull off a couple of big signings i can see next year being a difficult one.

Shelbourne: More Money from Europe and a manager that seems to be on point........biggest chalenger for Rovers next year

Derry: Seem to be splashing the cash again but they are a Micheal Duffy injury away from disaster

Pats: well thye normally win the pre season but im not seeing much yet

Galway and Dundalk.......Relegation battle??? im not sure tbh...Galway have the cash for a rebuild and Dundalk with new owners that are bound to want to make a positive firsat impression, then again someone has to go down.

Drogs: Losing DJT and now MArkey are two big blows, cn Doherty reinvent the wheel again?+ they didnt finish the season well i dont think Doherty can keep pulling overperformance out of them so. relegation favs

Waterford: Dont have much of a feeling here one way or the other, possible relegation battle.

Sligo: Another year of lower mid table but will be better than this year.

Thats everybody

Laughed out loud at this one, good dig.

good man sgbawa “stick to football” as your ilk like to parrot , it suits you better. Agree with boyne munich , I dont see how you have drogs as relegation favs even at this early . Budget is increasing next season too
