Interestingly, 3 subs for the full-back line. But I think there are real options in the forwards. Pat Ryan was very impressive again the last day even if he didnāt score. Murphy as well is just so busy, a nightmare for defenders late on. Dempsey got on a few balls too, Iād still like to see Dowling aswell.
I really like our squad options, and Peter Casey and Nash still to come into contention, Casey is probably our best forward.
To be fair to Kiely he has always stuck with the lads in possession of the jersey. If you do well you keep it - any player canāt ask for fairer than that. The likes of Flanagan got his chance and has taken it.
It has just been unlucky for the likes of Downes and Nash the way it has panned out. Nash has always been a JK favourite, consistently either started or been brought on when fit. He started in the Munster league and at the start of the league - then got injured and hasnāt managed to get back in. The lengthy club campaign and resulting unavailability done for Downes. Iād always have had Peter Casey down as a nailed on starter but on current form you canāt leave out Gillane or Mul.
Really big game tomorrow. Iād happily take a point now. If beaten we may have to win both of the last two. I just donāt fancy going to Ennis needing a result in that bear pit.
Where did he say that? Iām sure he could do a job there but itās a specialist position and Iād be much more comfortable with any of the other options we have there.
I would say that heās played there for a grand total of 5 mins in his entire life.
