That looks a decent team to me. Many of them should be starting..

Side note - Roy OD surely older then 21????

 

[torchomatic]

I think they can have a number of over agers.

Hes found his level then

 

[jon92]

I always thought he had left cov

 

[WillieStanley]

Its the "Development Squad" isn't it?

Starting for the first team?!

Only one of them, maybe two. Cameron and Christie.

 

[Otis]

If its a "Development Squad" then maybe one day ROD will develop into a footballer.

Yes, because our current crop are doing such a great job eh. Look at Grandison for Shrewsbury. Ran the show last week. We need to give some of youngsters a go. I'd say out of that team I'd have Cameron, Christie, Henderson and Phillips (heard good vibes about him)

Fuck off the likes of Kilbane, wood and mcsheffrey

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Who was used at LB, Cyrus or Phillips? I think I'd prefer Cyrus on his wrong side to Kilbane at LB.

And yeah, I'd love to see Cameron in the first team when fit. Can't do any worse than Wood, Brown & Edge.

Obviously we have released players in recent seasons that would do a good job for us now. But when they were released we were a championship side and only looking at players capable of championship football.
Managers don't always get these decisions right though history has proven this even with the biggest clubs !!

He's like Willie Boland, he'll be 21 forever.
of course he's over 21, iIdon't know the rules but they must be allowed to field a certain amount of over age players

 

[RichieGunns]

Why do I get the feeling O'Donovan will be starting for the Arsenal game? I mean Robin's did say it's now a clean sheet for all the players. Also as robin's was a striker, he might be doing striker training with all the front men. Who knows, ROD might improve under Robin's. We haven't had a striker coach for eons, this could be a reason why the front men (apart from McGoldrick) agent doing very well in front of goal!

 

[Black6Osprey]

My son scored 3 at the weekend and has as much chance of making an impact on the first team.

RODs 27 for gods sake, its almost like lads v dads.

 

[Sutty]

To be honest you have to question the opposition. I mean, O'Donovan heading in from a corner?

feck off the likes of Kilbane, wood and mcsheffrey

I'd give will roberts a go in the first team as well looked good preseason

 

[JHarding1987]

I would like to see ROD give a chance, a run. He has pace, makes good runs, better than FatBoy Macca.

 

[Grendel]

He's had lots of chances. He just misses them. The game today must be under 12's if he has managed a brace.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Good to see Christie and Cameron getting some game time.

Will be like new signings once they are fit.

No!

he just raised his game for this one
