No more than an Evans ruse to flog blue and white ITFC brollies- don't panic he can't be that stupid, can he?

Roy Working on Fundamentals

I'm still on board with Keane, I just think it has dawned on him that the task is much bigger than the three wins on the bounce at the end of last season had lead him to believe. IMO for the pretty much the whole of last season we were pretty poor and mid table was all we could aspire too. hence I'm for the radical surgery now being carried out on the playing staff. Jim failed to build a team when given money and little real quality was purchased.In fact Jim achieved most in his first season when with nothing to spend the team made creditable efforts. His disaster was not making the play off's last season having been given the means to achieve this- Jim didn't leave a team brimming with quality a fact he has subsequently admitted.
With the transfers I do feel Keane has a tendency to over pay and we also seem to over pay the players too. hence we often can't get rid of players who are surplus to requirements. I wish we would look at players from clubs in lower divisions as there's better value to be had here. It just takes a bit more effort in terms of scouting. Forget promotion this year the radical overhaul needed is too big to achieve in 1 season.
The team hasn't had many lucky breaks this year and clearly lacks confidence. We will win soon provided we start defending as a team. Today may be the day.

GM is a solid defender who apart from a slow start to both this and last season has done ok- why loan him out unless there is a replacement loan coming in? After all Pim and Smith are not the finished article.

Garvan to Captain Irish U21s

Nobody doubts the lad's ability on the ball, the problem is when the team doesn't have it. He's weak in the tackle and is one paced. I think RK has come to the conclusion he is a luxury the team can ill afford. Owen is not the sort of player that will help you get a result in a tough away game and who can really say he scores the amount of goals he ought to. Is he really half the player Matt Holland was?
