Dundalk v Cork match thread

On the match itself, I feel Cork can't play for a draw from the start. But thats not to say that they can't stop Dudnalk from trying to get an early momentum. With this in mind Cork should go out like its any other game and start off going for the win. Depending how the game is panning out they can then decide whether to hold what they have or push on. All I will say is that could be a very dangerous plan on a pitch like Oriel's. It would however be very ironic if the pitch was to lead to a Dudnalk mistake that cost them the title

What Caulfield might lack in experience at this level he more than makes up for in the passion he has for the club and the pride he has instilled in the players. The difference in attitude between this season and last is plain to see, most obviously of course in the concession of late goals last year been turned into the scoring of late winners-levellers this year. Johnny C While Kenny may have more managerial experience, we only have won league winner in our squad, Cork have about 5/6 league winners in theirs? and a former international, no shortage of experience there.

O Donnell, Rossiter and Gannon?

We had similar poor records against st pats and bohs this season which were recently overturned. Heres hoping we continue in that regard. I do think Dundalk are still favourites for the title and City will need to be at their best to win this league. As Clonbhoy says i hope we dont sit back and invite Dundalk on as we would be highly unlikely to keep them out for 90+ mins. Need to score!

They would lose the bottle.

Be interesting to see how we go about this. Caulfield talking about going for a win but we have a habitof sitting back when leading and to all purposes we are leading

Fairly optimistic, tickets haven't sold out for no reason!

Can we please just leave this one to the actual football talk and cut out all the sh*te that has ruined this forum?
