FFS Donnelly

Not quite looking “up for it” are we! hopefully we can already figure out that we need different deliveries into their box. Easy meat for their keeper so far.

I assume the team selection driven by illness. So perhaps the hope is we can still be in the game at half time or 60 mins and then maybe risk Slattery, KVV and Woolery to try and snatch a win? Then of course, we need them all to recover by Wednesday. Not looking so good. dammit. Just noticed Woolery not even on bench

You’re right! A dream

3-1 for us “Yes, bartender, I’ll have another. One bourbon, one scotch, one beer”

I think we will beat County and then Hearts. Ok I’m away for a wee lie doon noo. COYW!

I’m ok with most of what he done on Saturday. Although I think he got it wrong in not going to 3 at the back and keeping Woolery on. Most of the other games this year (2022) though I think he got it wrong most of the time.

Taking yesterdays game in isolation we were not that bad. Tactics worked for the most part players done their jobs. Utd didn’t look that dangerous. We just didn’t take our chances. Tierney’s first one was a good effort. By the time he got the ball he was at the corner of the box with a defender between him and the goal. Didn’t try to beat the defender but instead shoots and unlucky not to score. His attempted chip, for me, was a missed opportunity and should have done better. The ball just has to make it under the bar so need a bit more lift to get it over the keeper. His header was a great save by the keeper. Lamie with header off, just off target. I’m pretty sure Kelly was about to make an easy save at their goal but the block from Lamie deflecting it just over his fingertips. Here’s hoping with KVV back we manage to take all 3 from each of the next 2 games.

Couldn’t take our chances !

I’m assuming Woolery is injured if we are subbing him

Hope the team are keeping their morale up better than the fans. Very unlucky to be 1 down at the half.

Oh well. Don’t see us getting anything today

Lady Luck not on our side today.

So what positions do Connelly, Mahon and niron’thingy play? I’m assuming one of them is a keeper?

Let’s hope the starting 11 all play well and can get some goals to wrap up the game. since I’m not sure we have too many options on the bench to change the game if we are behind.

Lol had already forgot that

Did our slump also coincide with loosing McGuire to long term injury? Not everyone’s cup of tea but I thought he was coming along nicely. Looked much stronger and fitter and was one of the players who would at least try to play football. I think he will help if he can recover fully from his injury

Are you looking for a job in management at all?

Oh well I’m done !

So here’s my proposed team. Not sure what happens if O’Donnell not fit, maybe O’Hara goes to full back. Not badgering you or anything just interested to see what line up you would propose. Your comment re Cornelius does have some merit. Kelly O’Donnell Sol or Bevis Lamie McGinley Tierney Slattery O’Hara Woolery Shields Roberts (versus Utd) Shields KVV Woolery (last 3 games)

I wouldn’t start Donnelly but i would start Slattery and O’Hara

For our best shot at getting 4th I’d go along the lines of below for starting line up. Not the best line up ever but Carroll has to drop out. Bevis has to move out of right back. Ojala is totally fkd and can barely move so he needs not to be on the field. Midfield needs to be able to control pass and move. Attack needs to start KVV (after suspension) and Woolery. Kelly O’Donnell Sol or Bevis Lamie McGinley Tierney Slattery O’Hara Woolery Shields Roberts (versus Utd) Shields KVV Woolery (last 3 games)

We need to fix our issues before the other teams fix theirs or we are in deep trouble.

Maybe we are in the “one step back” phase and next season will be the “two steps forward” phase? I know, I know but I need to cling on to some hope. I know we are in top 6 which is a better position than last year but as you allude to, that’s ‘cause other teams regressed even more than we did.

Blew our chance big time and sadly you may well be right!
