Bohemians v Dundalk | League Round 02 | Friday 24 February 2023 ko 19.45

[Quayman]

We are shocking. Can't pass the ball, no shape to midfield again and not one player looks one bit fit.

[dundalkfc1903]

Is it Gartland that scouted all these lads from the UK? They are all brutal.
This unfortunately is what happens when the board doesn't/can't back the manager.
Looks like we will be renewing our rivalry with Cork .

[The Ger]

Bloody hell. I really hoped last week was a blip. Lots of work to do.

[Midfield11]

The only positive was that the ref blew it up 30 sec early.

[inflikted]

Finnish lad got a goal so fingers crossed that's the first of many.

[Pepsi]

Huffing and puffing and creating nothing in the middle nor final third. Look like a group of lads who met up Monday morning for the first time, little to no shape nor system. SOD was going mad on the line trying to get them into position, that’s what pre-season is for! Midfield not at the races resulting in nothing going forward, defence looked like it was all over the place as a result. Once again, I feel we were second to most balls and Bohs players looked hungrier and fitter. Sh1te start that can only get better …. You would have to ask yourself how much grace SOD will get if this continues, no excuses this season as it is his team and a full pre-season. If he was anyone else there would be shouts for his head.

Yli-Kokko looks a good player, good vision and both feet.. Tulloch energetic. A flat as a pancake display otherwise.

[southerncomfort]

very slow start ,bohs are only ok . not as if we were unlucky , thats two in a row where we looked either under / or over coached
good news is there's slow starts access the league , ucd pushed sligo too so maybe helps with last week's results

[BigChief]

Poor stuff again. Very flat & disheartening stuff .
Tough assignment next week In oriel.

[condor]

Not fit enough, physically slow and weak, second to every ball. No fight, no heart and little effort. Did we win a header all game? Seems to be no tactics/formation or game plan. We have squad full of lads who can't get a game in the lower leagues of English
& Scottish football, who scouted these players? Meanwhile! down at the Honkey Dorey Velodrome a postman is getting a
tune out of a bunch of part time misfits..

[White Horse]

I thought we were poor in defence, the two full backs were exposed by Bohs direct style. They hit it long and scrapped for second balls. We tried to play football, especially before Lewis had to go off but there is no threat up front. Hoban has lost sharpness and O'Kane was anonymous.

Great support and they made their feelings clear about what the fans think about the prospect of becoming a feeder club.

[McNultys Discopants]

Well that was just terrible. Not many positives. Great crowd in the ground both home and away. On another note have we got the biggest scrotes in the country supporting us? Serious amount of scummy b@stards up there tonight.

[Heartyboy]

Thought they played well. The 1st goal was a worldie, we gave a bad second goal. However we tried and gave it all we had. I thought the Finnish lad played well. SOD was pretty accurate in his assessment and I agree that they will get better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USWjMfP ... =DundalkFC

Some of the young lads fighting straight in front of me are young fools.

[seand]

I thought we were atrociious against a sh1te Bohs side. We created nothing until the last few minutes. Unfortunately the new signings are giving ample evidence of why they didn't make it in England. Tulloch about the only bright spark. Dunno if Shepherd is carrying an injury but his kicking was atrocious. 1 point from 2 games against really poor opposition, it could be a long season.
Off the pitch a mixed night........ absolute scumbags fighting, unable to handle their drink or drugs. Pure vermin. And more fukking flares. If there's any will to change that sh1te we have two big home games next weekend where the club, stewards and the Gardai need to get their arse in gear. On the plus side (!) cracking atmosphere from both sides, including 95% of ours. Dalymount looking and feeling a lot more like a proper stadium and a real sense of occasion around the place. There were even hawkers outside! The magnificent support the team got at the end of the game was utterly undeserved.

[Towelie]

We were pants tonight, but the premature knives out is hysterical. Someone pointed out that we had 4 points after 4 games at the same stage last season. Back the manager and back the players.

Anti-social carry on annoyed me in particular at the UCD game of all fixtures and I think it's just a case of young lads who are a bit too fond of Greenstreet who need straightened out by the more seasoned supporters, especially shedside.
