Waterford FC Thread

Yeah I thought that was great as well, fair play to the kids.

Great first night though, huge crowd and a great atmosphere (well apart from one dope in the new stand who was calling our players names when they'd misplaced a pass).

Excellent effort by the side, pity about the soft goal they conceded. Shels are so hard to break down so a draw is a decent result. Baggley was excellent and it was great seeing Darragh and Niall start, both had really good games. Will take us a couple of games to have a settled side but we more than matched Shelbourne.

Some result tonight up in Drogheda. Safe home to the Huge Away support.. Over 300 Blues up there, roll on Galway next Friday

Ah brilliant performance, feared the worst when Drogheda scored but the reaction was great.

We looked a good solid side and with the possibility of more improvement, 2 more signings yet to play.

It's funny watching Romeo only getting a few minutes, looks like they're being very careful with him so he doesn't get a bad knock.

I'm reading that one of our players is heading to Southampton.

Waterford’s teen attacker Romeo Akachukwu, 17, seals €500,000 move in the summer to Championship side Southampton | Independent.ie

He was the best player on the field when he came on against shels.

I'll have some of what you are smoking please 🤣. Romeo is raw as f***, potential undoubtedly there and I do really like him as a player. But whoever signs him is signing potential. He's been good for us but not out of this world.

Didn't really deserve anything from the game so can't have many complaints but a shame not to hold out for a point alright.

This league is going to be tight. Can see Drogheda getting detached in last for the automatic relegation spot. Not sure who's next worse yet once it's not us.

Our performances have been fairly patchy although we were unlucky to lose both matches to Bohs and Derry. Should have got a draw from both of them.

Wouldn't be hugely surprised with a draw tonight. Ye have started the season well and have signed a better squad then looked likely a month before the season started.

Good win. C’mon the Blues.

Great performance tonight.. we fought for every ball and played as a team .. You have to make home advantage count in this Division

That keeper!! How he's at Liverpool I'll never know!

We were really good, the pairing of Baggley and MacDonald is brilliant, keeping them fit us crucial. Big fan of Leaghy as well, a proper defender. Amond is like a Teddy Sheringham, just has it upstairs of where to be to score goals late into his career. Asemoah cracks me up, he does really bad things but will then tear apart a defence with his raw pace, he's a great weapon to have.

Dundalk are in trouble this year, they've been badly run for a while now and sold loads of quality players, notably Hoban this season. I think themselves and Drogheda will struggle big time, hopefully we'll stay well clear.

Rovers always start off slow, they'll go on a run soon. Shels have been solid as a rock though.

I was impressed by your right back, who went off with the hamstring injury.

Also, no8 a very tidy player.

Yeah good point last night. Sligo will be tough next week, really solid side.
