Re: Our best run of form last season…
Which makes the decision to be more attack minded against PL level teams strange. We played so much more cautious against so called tinpot FC teams last season.

Re: Josh Cullen
True, but none of us have also been the Championship’s best midfielder. I believe Cullen can make the step up, providing he isn’t hung out to dry by the manager playing in a midfield of one. With another DM next to him, and that will have to be Cork for now owing to the summer balls up, he’ll be fi...

Re: Josh Cullen
Would disagree-Josh is one of the few players in the team up to PL standards. There is no one other than Cork in the present squad that can help him, and sadly Jack is in his twilight years. Therefore we always need to play Bownhill alongside him, but Berge more advance. Berge is very talented movi...
