Been away from the country and football scene(still am) for awhile now. It seems the team is doing ok albeit it is Division 4 football. From looking at the remaining fixtures the hardest ones are to come starting with Wicklow on Sunday. This game will give us some idea on where we are (sad to say though that a game against Wicklow is going to be a guideline on where we are right now). I hope i'm wrong but in my opinion some here are on false dawn mode recently. We have probably played the bottom 3 teams in Ireland so far.  I personally think we could find Sunday very very difficult as will the games against Antrim & Carlow. IMO

I don't think we are in false dawn mode, I personally think we will improve far more than Carlow, Wicklow or Antrim as the summer approaches.  Our bright start is a consequence of decent management and a complete disaster of management ever since TOF.  We have been underperforming for years and this year we have someone while inexperienced clearly capable.  It is a pity that we have not yet got any semblance of our underage in order to allow continuous progression.

I don't see anybody really on false dawn mode. We're being realistic - promotion for div 4 and a couple of games in the leinster championship (maybe even a semi) is what we hope for. We're pleased with the setup this year but are def not getting carried away. I think that's the consensus across the board. By the way, the bookies also heavily favour us for promotion, as well doing well against Wexford in the Championship (currently 2/7 to beat Wexford). So objectively, we're doing well enough so far this year but nobody is getting carried away yet.

You don't suffer from the limpness yourself Don?

At the moment we are the second most attack minded team in Ireland.....

One change. Donoher for O'Reilly.
Harsh on O'Reilly. I'd have gone with Donoher for Farrell.

Kinda the same. If we don't win the division it'll be very disappointing.

Did Antrim not beat you on your own turf in the qualifiers just two years ago. You may not rate us...but you are where you are for a reason! (You can work that bit out yourself Town).
