100 percent correct treaty seemed to learn their lesson from previous performances by over playing and not getting results . Good 3 points, can’t see them finishing above 8th though . Cian Curtis the difference has lots of quality

Quite pleasantly surprised by Pats thus far. The opening couple of games were fairly miserable in a way that reflected the mood of the fan base coming into the season, but credit where it's due they've turned it around since.
The system has changed from previously where Kenny was admittedly fixated on wingers, to more of a fluid back 3/5 formation where Browne has the freedom of the right side and McClelland is essentially a winger himself with Turner behind him having a bit of license to roam himself. Nugent in for Mulraney is looking a great deal from our perspective, wasn't much fanfare around his signing but he's been quietly excellent so far. Brings an energy to midfield and an ability to win duels that has been sorely lacking in seasons past.
Waterford are looking lost though, like they don't know what type of team they are. Would be surprised if we had another away game this year that is as comfortable as that was.

Hard to understand why the huge shift. Getting rid of Jake and Brandon (two who didn't have good attitudes) is hardly the main reason. Either way, its great to see.
Vital win for LTFC. There's really so little between most of the teams in the First, you can never be too confident in any particular outcome
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand..
Only 2 points between 4th and 10th at the moment. Athlone and Bray lost ground on Cork. Athlone and Bray might come back to the chasing pack.
Another glorious defeat. We could/ should have got points in the Dun and Shels game. We just cant score goals.

The 4 Dublin Teams on top and not playing each other next time up.
Bohs (of course) let me down on my 6 to 1 bet on all the Dublin clubs to win. Every cloud does have a silver lining i suppose
4 wins next week and a gap will start to widen, if Derry find themselves on the other side of it youd have to think Lynch is going to be on the verge
I would imagine getting rid of Mulraney was a big help , certainly as a fan it’s great not to have to watch him strolling around without a care in the world . Apart from that we’ve brought in players who are more physical and athletic and less likely to get bullied in games and we also have more options up front
Agreed.
The physical side of things definitely improved this season. We are not a soft touch.
Last season SK rotated ALOT meaning we rarely had a settled side.
The proof will be in the pudding when we have Forrester, Lennon, Zac and Power back from injury plus when Mata and Keena are 100% fit.
Rotating as much as he did last year definitely didn't help.
Ah now I wouldn’t say he didn’t have a care in the world, he certainly cared about fixing his shorts and socks every 2 minutes while his teammates tracked back for him
