    Thumbs up Blues Win again

    Limerick 1 Ramblers 0

    A game of two halves to say the least, limerick should have been a couple of goals up at the break, but for some bad finishing by our attackers. All our good work was coming down the left flank with Heffo and Chukka working well together.
    2nd half started slow, and Cobh grew in confidence the longer it stayed at 1-0, Bruton was allowed in far to cheaply (IMO) on a few occasions and Mooney had to be on his guard with him. Best on the night for me was Chukka, very solid at the back and never gave the ball away, Mooney was in inspired form, Heffo was excellent in 1st half but was quieter in the 2nd.
    Anyway its more about the result than the perfomance tonight, 3 more points, sets us up nicely for Kildare on Tues. and the Harps on Fri.

    Up the Blues

    We fully deserved to win though and i thought had it not been for a very poor lino on the far side, Carthy could have got a second,(he was at least 5 YARDS onside) Mooney was class, we missed a bit of guile in mid field, Kiely/Purcell partnership isnt working. But 3 good points now lets get 6 more this week. Promote your team we need bigger attendences.

    At the moment I would use the fact they need time together to understand each others game, I take it that you do not approve of either but hey, for now, I'm quite happy to see us getting some points on the board, we can worry about playing total football later.
    Attendance wasn't great I would say 350 approx, evening turned out to be a cold & wet,very heavy showers for the last 15 mins, I'd say both sides were glad when the ref blew for full time.

    Good game, great atmosphere in the Shed again, especially for the 5 min rendition of the Birdie Song. Mooney was the man of the match for me, absolute quality performance, and saved our defence on a few ocasions. Regarding our defence, we need Finny to finish these exams and reform that Purcell-Finnucane partnership as son as possible because Kiely isn't working out. And Derek needs to start games

    I think Derek has to be given a start. We really lack a bit of bite up front. We're also very weak through the middle from the back four to the front two. Woulfe is definitely not a central midfielder. His distribution is terrible. Overall I thought it wasn't a great performance, but at least we won and the way the division is looking at present if we can win our next two home games it will set things up lovely for the trip to Tolka. Mooney had probably his best game for Limerick and was my man of the match.
    If you don't like John 3:7...
    There's always Limerick 37!

    I think the problem with Kiely is that he is inexperienced. At one point in the match Purcell went up to win a header, instead of tucking in behind to cover Paddy he stayed where he was and Willie Bruton ran through and nearly scored if it hadn't been for Mooney saving. Ideally we all want to see Finny and Paddy playing together, and to add Buckley while not a bad player is not good enough to dislodge either Finny or Paddy.

    It's quite obvious to see the style of football we are going to play this season, instead of hoofing it down the middle, the idea is to pump it down the wings. Very much a case of Jack Charlton mach two for me except it's poorly executed. We need to bring some variation into our game by playing short passes, one-two's and when the opposition least expect it then play it long down the wing. There seems to be no intelligence associated with our play at all and in an environment like this will only result in the players regressing.
    Limerick 37, its so shiny and new we dare not take the cover off.

    Guy's, Its early days. After five or six games we shoud begin to know exactly what we can look forward to to for the season. As regards Woulfe in midfield, Surely he is only in there as a destructive force against oposing midfields. When he gets it he should be giving it off simple and let the likes of barrett play the football. Is Woulfee's Job - to protect the back four???
