ok,

so we are on a horrible run at the moment. we are 7th in the table and think of this, we were 3rd, 6 weeks ago and could have went second. so, its time to start winning again, yes we are missing 5 or 6 of our best players, but we still have a very good team. this will be my first game back in a month, i am changing jobs, so ill be spending less time out foreign and i intend playing 7 of the 8 remaing games. its time to start moving up the table again

LeixlipRed · 23-06-2008 5:21pm

Lifts anyone? Sorry for the constant need of a lift on a tuesday but I get a half day from work to meet with my supervisor and work on thesis so it's a pretty hectic day. When winter season comes I'll make my own way

LeixlipRed · 23-06-2008 5:23pm

_blank_ · 24-06-2008 9:50pm

1-1

LeixlipRed · 24-06-2008 10:40pm

Great performance tonight guys. I know we drew but it felt like a win after the last 6 weeks of rubbish. They're not a bad side at all and we played them off the park second half. Great stuff going into next week.

homerjay2005 · 24-06-2008 10:53pm

thought we were nervous in first half. confidence was seriously lacking, first time i have noticed this for boards. we have a long way to go to get back to the place we were around December and for a while at the start of the season, but we can do it. there was a bit of fight in the second half and that is what i love seeing. it ends the run of defeats, but we have to win next 2 games now and push forward.

we had 3 or 4 good chances to win it, but they too had 2 late chances, albeit when we had 3 at the back! alot of mistakes tonight, but conditions were tough and people were slipping/slicing clearances for both teams. fair play to both keepers who did very well in them. we defended well overall, but we got lucky towards the end, with a few sloppy clearances/passes, however their goal was a mi**** shot that just hit off their striker. however im concerned that we lost the control of the midfield. we need to work on that but suppose we are trying things.

overall, we played well in the second half, their goal woke us up, and it was good to get something after being behind, when did that last happen? overall, something to build on. the big one is the cup game on friday week now.

FrankGrimes · 24-06-2008 11:55pm

Good stuff lads, you'll always take a draw if you've gone one down, and as Ed mentioned, it shows good spirit to be fighting back into games, just as pulling 2 back last week was. We have needed to improve on that front for a while, so that's a good improvement regardless of the result.

Gav gave me the lowdown on the phone and he had it much like Ed outlines (and he said it was a very nice finish by Ed to mark his return) and he said we had the better of it though needed to attack more directly at times. Pity not to get the win, but it's a start on turning the corner and ending the season with a strong run so fair play to all.

Had the pleasure of having the 40 staples removed from the leg today and am hoping to be able to stand with the crutches for long enough by next week to be able to come watch the game, don't lend me boots if I get tempted and start asking for them

Savman · 25-06-2008 12:23am

Toward the end it felt like it was slowly coming together and it's the first time in a while it's felt like we were getting back to the level we were at before. As I said earlier if we started the game like we finished it we would have won comfortably. Once we got on the ball with some composure we looked like the team we know we can be and there was some really nice moves in the 2nd half.

Some errors in communication which is to be expected when new lads are being thrown in the deep end but the longer the game went on the more we got to grips with the pace and general touch etc. Saying that, they had a real chance to win it right at the death but somehow the ball hit the bar then yer man headed over from the follow up, I thought that was game over. Similarly at the other end Art came close to winning it for us but that would've been harsh on the opposition. Overall, draw was fair result considering the balance of play.
