its amazing how many different views we get from the same game.11 behind the ball was a game plan[mind you its micks belief,and he won't hide from it]its called consolidation,cobh like to play around at the back,so,we let them.ask yourself,how many times did they get behind our back 4?As to cobh being poor,we got among them and didn,t let them play[they're not 2nd in the league for nothin],so i would have to congatulate the coaching staff on job well done.when mick raised his hand at the end it was in appreciation of the few supporters who were singing his name.i would love to go and see the youths win every week,but ,it ain't gonna happen,1st year in the league,some very talented 21/18s comin up....LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE!
This was an excellent display by our lads. Very proud of them. Much more self-belief and willing to take them on at times. We could have won - don't know how the ball stayed out in scramble near the end. Win for 21s too so great weekend overall. Well done to all!!!
This was the first time I've seen our lads go out and take the game to another team, and it caught Cobh off-guard in a big way. We have to have more self belief and confidence in going forward. Liam O' Loughlin was in dazzling form, the centre backs held their own and gave good strong solid displays. The only concern for me would be that Garret seems to sit back too deep sometimes and drags the other defenders back so as not to leave any gaps. We could have easily pushed on a bit more especially when playing at home. On saying that though, it's a minor thing at the moment. The ball moved very freely through midfield and we used the flanks alot more, which was a very good sign because we crucified them when we ran at them down the wings. I was impressed by the lads after this game and surely this will give their confidence a massive boost.
Come on the Youths!!
