We are playing with a goalie / 3 defenders / 2 midfielders / 9 forwards / and then to defend our lead of 7 points we introduced 2 more forwards. While the lads were unlucky today, Wexford missed 3 other solid goal chances to our zero. It is no wonder that all the strong teams in the Division have beaten us. Hugely disappointing.

If there are any positives to find from the league campaign it was the performances of Matty Whitaker and Brian Cooney. Overall as a team it has been bitterly disappointing, very frustrating to watch. I try to stay positive but have enough after today

Agree 100%. Brian Cooney has had an excellent campaign and was best player on the pitch last week. Didn't have the same influence today but played his part in what should have been a win. Matty Whitaker has that really rare ability to beat most defenders he faces from a standing start. Has ever played at 11, we need a key to unlock Luke Loughlin who has been below his usual high standards?

I'm sure you're all hugely disappointed with that result yesterday, it looked like you had it in the bag, just needed to hold possession during that last phase. Obviously I'm delighted with the result and the way our lads never game up. Whitaker is a rare talent, especially when running at the opposition. I think maybe you're being a bit harsh on Loughlin ( based on yesterday). We'd be delighted with how our defence, especially Porter, never gave him a clear sight at goal despite the possession he had. Anyway lads, really hard luck yesterday, but i think the future is bright, you have some fine young footballers, plus the great colleges win last week.
