At last! I
get to write a blog following an actual win for my beloved Bohs.
Who would have thought that 8 games in we would be in a potential relegation 6
points?
Give the squad we have, it is simply inexcusable that we find ourselves in this
position.
It is very welcome that we won on Friday and have moved up the table, but let’s
be abundantly clear; It was down to individual
brilliance in front of the opposition box and not any tactical nous, that saw
he run out 4-2 winners after 90 minutes,
We were understandably in ‘pinch me dreamland’ after going 2-0 up so early in
the game, but it was alarming to see how easily we let Sligo get right back
into the game.
You oft hear of trams falling asleep, we definitely went into a deep snooze for
the rest of the first half.
Up until the point we scored the 3rd goal, it looked very much like
it was going end in a stalemate, like cars meeting each other on a small
country road, and neither driver seeking to a way to get past the other.
Much like Liverpool FC have done a few times in the recent past, individual
brilliance meant that we managed to goals practically out of nowhere.
Once again the lads traipsed round the pitch like headless donkeys, giving it a
lot of huff and puff, but it was akin to an army laying siege to a goal, but
the cannonballs keep landing in the moat to the left and right of it’s walls.
4 days from now we take short 2.6km walk to Richmond Road, to take on
Shelbourne at Tolka Park.
I was chatting to a work colleague who is a Pat’s fan and he was saying the
Reds were very ordinary in Richmond Park last Friday and that Pat’s had plenty
of chances to win the match, but frustratingly for him, they didn’t convert.
The Champions are another side who have a number of players with the ability to
win a match on their own.
They are also a side who have a fairly mean defence, so it is going to be quite
the task for the away side to come away with any sort of a result come 21.45.
We seem to very much be in “A stopped
clock is always right twice” phase, and despite the win don’t see us in anyway
properly getting out of our rut anytime soon,.
It's like the person who gets 2 Question right in the cash builder on The
Chase, but they were two complete and utter guesses.
So the largely ineffectual managerial setup just about lives to fight another
day, but how much more must this farce go on, before common sense prevails?
Honestly I would love to eat my hat (shaped cone full of Ice Cream) in a few
weeks as de Boez defied most peoples predictions and racked up a number of back-to-back
wins on the trot;
But all things weighed up, Friday could yet be another very false dawn…
