How are yiz fixed now. Confident of beating Kildare away? Seen them last week in the friendly against our lot and I can't see them getting more than 15 points.

We should beat Kildare but after that..............
We have lost experienced players like Parkhouse, Minnock, Boyle, Holmes, James Gallagher and Chris Breen and replaced them with 17 and 18 year olds.

We are very weak in the centre of defence and light up front, Id be happy with our options in Midfield, left back, right back and one of the strikers. In the first division you never get away with two 5' strikers.

Why just Sean Houstan?

Anyways, he's a central midfielder but can play basically anywhere on the park, has played left mid and left back in pre-season.
He's a big lad, maybe 6'1"/6'2", good in the air and good passer of the ball.

Yet to be seen if he has what it takes at this level though.
