Allianz Football League 2017 - Division 3

[town1980]

And we're paying an outside manager for this??

[Unlaoised]

Poor result in the end ...kicked so many balls away .

So many basic errors by most if not all the players we must have kicked 7-8 wides in the first half and as for the passing it was really bad tonight.

Promotion is gone its all about staying up now and shaping a team for the championship getting the likes of quigley Timmons O Connor Meridth Meaney  Walsh Lillis  and a fit O loughlin back into the spine of team.

Same sh.it different circus.  Dreadful defending is shambolic.

Same sh.it different circus.  Dreadful defending is shambolic.

The skill levels are just dreadful. Too many passengers that look way out of their depth in Division 3. The injured players will make things better but it is blatantly obvious that the quality of footballer we produce in the county these days is not good enough. It is a reflection of our underage teams and our club championship.

Rating tonight: Brody 6, Strong 6, Booth 8, Kelly 7, Buggy 5, Begley 6, Attrite 6, Luttrell 5, John O Loughlin 7, O Reilly 5, Donoher 6, Conway 8, Ramsbottom 5, P Kingston 5, d Kingston 6.

Some players out at a RAG week during the week? Surely not a good sign. All about staying up now

When is Conor Merdith due home?

[Keyser Söze]

Is David Conway enjoying a bit of an "Indian Summer"?
Or has the standard around him fallen?

[Junior Ex Laoistalk]

Very disappointing display tonight, we leave so much space in the middle section of the field it's just unbelievable.
Hopefully we can now stay up and build this team over the next 3 years...

[TP Ashe]

Say what you want about his work rate or application but Donie Kingston was the most talanted footballer on the pitch tonight.

[justinn]

Maybe later in the year we can have a team like this:
Brody, Attrite, Timmons/Booth, O Connor, Strong, Lillis, Kelly, Quigley, O Loughlin, Begley, Merdith, Meaney, Conway/Moore, O Carroll, D Kingston.

AGREE,     BEGINNING TO HAVE DOUBT ABOUT THIS MANAGER.

[Butch Cassidy]

How many times did Tipp walk through the middle  (after getting a quick kick out) without getting tackled? It needs to be worked on before Sligo and hopefully we've some lads back from injury .

[Don Draper]

And we're paying an outside manager for this??

Still better value for money than Lillis

[Target Man]

And we're paying an outside manager for this??

On what basis? I wouldn't rule out Creedon being a success yet, but at the moment we are at least as bad as last year

I thought Donie Kingston and Kelly were good, not much to pick out other than that. Sideline slow to make changes, four if not five of our forwards struggled badly. Some of our younger players do not look ready. Buggie and O'Reilly I think have great potential but not performing at the moment. I find the selection of lutrell at midfield very strange, JOL actually played as a corner forward for a portion of second half.

Defensively we made silly errors, a couple of scores came from lads being drawn to ball rather than tracking own man

Surely Sean Moore worth giving a chance up front?

We have players to come back, but still these performances are worrying. Not showing enough quality up front to break down defences
