I'm going to leave this thread until our squad is confirmed.

Guys i know Cork made a couple of very high profile signings but the fact is they still lost alot of players and Healy is very injury prone. Farrelly is also good for a injury too. If these two are gone then there squad is nearly tread bare. Over the course of a season i think Cork will fall off.

I see the top three as Drogs/Derry/St Pats. Bohs will take time to gel and cork fourth. I really see Sligo and Longford struggling.

By the looks of it Bray are gonna suprise a lot of you this season. If we could get someone to knock in 15 or so league goals we could be sniffing around europe. Franco was in good form and could get that many and the two young lads O'Shea and Broderick looked impressive at the back end of last season so ya never know.

It's a fair enough call but i'd disagree.
Having your legs broken twice isn't injury prone as such.
Judge for yourself.
Think it was 5 points off the title we finished last season, yes?

For Danny Murphy, read Darragh Ryan.
For Alan Bennett, read Darren Murphy.

Expect Woods and BOC to start ahead of those two but it gets better.

For Roy O'Donovan the midfielder, read Gareth Farrelly.
For 10 or so games of George, read Colin Healy.
For noone, add Liam Kearney.
For Neale Fenn, read Roy O'Donovan the striker.

And another striker to be added. All in all, we can look forward to more goals at both ends.
I think there'll be a change of style but we'll definately be in the hunt in the last 5 games or so.

IMO Doolin needs to use all his considerable powers to feck it up this year.

Think European qualification through the league might be a bit out of Bray's reach this season but I think they'll surprise a few people this season. Fancy them to maybe do well in a cup too. Mainly of course because Gormley has god like abilities. As soon as we're ready we'll have him back!!

After these posts I guarantee that Bray will now move up in the subsequent predictions!

Pats are sh!t by the way...I'd be happy with top half!!

**Ebmania** · 26/02/2007, 12:56 PM

Yes but these guys are unproven at this level. Kearney may take a while if ever to get back to the player he is. Healy has spent more time on the Hospital ward then the football pitch. This has got to have had an effect also if he is such great signing why did nobody else go after him + why let go in the first place. I think Healy could be a costly mistake.

Cork are such a selling club aswell i see more leaving in the summer, seems to be the cork way.
