Bray are the best I've seen so far ahead of the tough games expected against Cobh and Cork. Kerry are making bad mistakes. The experience players signed were to cut out that sloppiness. Longford, Kerry, Cobh and Treaty all need wins after last week to avoid a mini separation from the playoffs. Two playoff 6 pointers at this early stage.

Sligo and Waterford have tough assignments after the international break. Galway v Derry will prevent the gap from widening too much. Shels v Dundalk something of an early European 6 pointer in pursuit of the league's top 3.

[outspoken]

We need to be taking at least 3-4 points from games against Treaty and Athlone or it could be another long season

I think it's going to be a long season regardless...Cork and possibly Bray aside, the first division looks grim.

Every year it looks worse.

We were looking competitive until Saturday, woeful performance.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We only got 7 weeks into the season before the traditional labelling of the First Division as the worst one yet. Is this a new record?

Well as far as Im concerned every season that Dundalk didnt top the league they are in it was the worst standard ever, I mean when Rovers were winning leagues it was an awful standard, Shels, totally rubbish. Last years 1st Division was by contrast one of the best standards ever seen! Id just state that as a given in preseason....

hoping Rovers can pick up the 3 points tonight , Waterford are increasingly desperate for a result though so i wouldnt be taking anything for granted.

Waterford are leaking goals. If you only scoreess two, it would be a positive for Waterford. Probably too late for Daly either way though.

Perhaps the same could be said of Lynch? Galway away tonight. For what usually brings a decent Derry crowd, I'm not going, and only know three people who are.
We can't keep a clean sheet, so expecting a score draw.

Don't know what it needs to Lynch to change people's minds, but four points from this weekend (Sligo away on Monday) would be positive.
