Well that was very very disappointing. They were just better much better than us, simple as. I thought we did well 2nd half v Dundalk, and for some reason that led me to believe that we were better than we actually are, lastnight brought me back down to reality.
We never got to grips with them at all I thought, it was all a bit panicky and we reverted to hoofing it away much of the time, not much of the nice passing football that we've occassionaly seen this season, then again I dont think Shels allowed them to play that way.
I cant really fault the players too much, a lot of them are just not good enough and I genuinely believe they did their best but their lack of quality showed against a superior side. I just hope the better players such as Colbert, White and Bruton and a few others dont begin to lose heart.
Clutching at straws maybe, but one positive thing is that their heads never dropped, even after the 3rd goal thay were still trying, however much in vain.
Only a quarter season through, we're as good as any others outside the top three, this season need not be a disaster. Roll on next week......
By the way, just thought i'd mention Jimmy Fyffe was superb against Cork City the other night.

agreed were well behind shels waterford dundalk and longford but every other team in the division is equally poor . limerick to finish 5th
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
Wow but hindsight makes us look naive!!!
We tend to believe that words enable thought. But words can also substitute for thought.

crikey we were shocking fri night.again played 4-5-1 with derek the 5th midfielder,very disappointed with his contribution quite clear the legs dont have it anymore and his dive was sad mind you our tactics hardly helped him.booting it up the pitch,here willie chase that.shels a good side but we not good enough with several players out of their depth which question MK judgment in signing them and begs many questions on the game itself,like is there a plan B and do the players understand plan A ,why was,n barrett moved on to shels CF when it was clear after 20mins he was toying with danagher,why was carty left on,etc and while the SKI SHOW has thankfully ended MK standing still arms folded chewing gum whileyour team is being outclassed is hardly going to motivate them to greater things to turn it around.bright sparks were barrett, white,colbert and the hope we will be positive for mons next week.

And mons rec is something to get excited about. Played 9...Home P 5 W 3 D 0 L 2 GF 4 GA 4 Away P 4 W 0 D 0 L 4 GF 0 GA 15
I know Dave made a balls of the 2nd and 3rd goal but Shels are way ahead of us in nearly every position and could have had more than 3.
Its as simple as that really, a bit depressing on the pitch but im encouraged with off the pitch news.
How did Derek play?
