I agree with Macy... remember last season everyone was callin for alan matthews to quit and when they started performin we finished 5th....ye need to give it a bit more time....
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
Compared to two years ago when we had a similar bad start, at least this town team has a doggedness about them. I thought the town were decent in Waterford and were most unlucky to win. Waterford wont last long at the top, they will suffer such a dramatic descent from the top like drogs had last year.
I like the compostion of the last team posted, Levine plays a lot of the time in midfield, and I think it is worth a try Barrett and Mulvihill, they would know each other inside out from the u21s.
lavine in midfield would be rubbish. we need a tough tackler in midfield. i know vinny isnt up the standard but at least he gets stuck in.
[FONT=arial]oh the great protector of Vinny...
AJ in is anyone's team because of his ability to get stuck in!!
And we don't need two midfield enforcers... BTW I think Lavine is quite a good player at retrieving ball....[/FONT]
i dont know. i never seen lavine pull out hes a very smart player and hes the type that would be putting strikers through thats one of our weak spots. theres no one there giving good through balls to the strikers its all over the top and half the time the strikers are wasting their energy running after balls there never going to get. and then most of the time they have to come to meet the ball instead of running onto it. weve got the players all we need is the tactics.

i dont know. i never seen lavine pull out hes a very smart player[FONT=arial]I'm begining to agree with you on that... but Waterford was a good performance and Shels was too, there's something about playing at home ant I'm not going to offer excuses for UCD, hope the pitch has been normalised...[/FONT]weve got the players all we need is the tactics.
what other option have we got. there ois no point puttin vinny in there just cos he has heart.we need to change things in midfield and i think eric fits the bill.Originally posted by techs

I dont think matthews would ever try it out. although he did put lavine playing deeper when we put 3 up front against waterford. the football against waterford was fairly good but we seemed to be depending on the same 2 or 3 players to play the good football, barrett, lavine and kirbs. When we got promoted we were playing direct quick moving football, and remember when kirbs used to link up on the wing with 2 or 3 one too. thats the football we were famous for. and instead of putting it over the top for the strikers we were putting them through.
the best solution to the whole midfield problem is to sign one when the window reopens next week. pip keogh is the only decent central midfielder we have at the moment. playing players out of position is not a solution!
