THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

As you rightly say as well, a stick that you could potentially use to beat the appointment with is that he doesn't know the league, but

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

I'm sure he's been in difficult positions before when he's been managing in England.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

I've no doubt that he'll be able to get the players on side.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

Look, I suppose as Blink and all at times it has looked down in Waterford, there have been green shoots.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

There have been little snips of performances where you think actually they're not that far from turning the corner.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

So look, fingers crossed he can come in now and hit the ground running.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

It's funny you mention that because it's probably a conundrum that John Dealey had from the very start of the season as well I'd say Steve Owen and maybe just something that they didn't manage to solve and

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

is that he wanted to get, obviously, Padraig Hammond and Tommy Lonergan in the team kind of at all times.

And his initial thought on it was playing a 4-4-2 and it just didn't work.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

They just weren't able to get any control or any foothold in games and

OTB Football
THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

very quickly changed from that to a three to sort of a three five two that I don't know did they fully grasp or fully understand at times maybe and maybe that was what was causing them issues as well so look I suppose the manager first and foremost is going to have to lean on people that are there and people the people there with experience and you know they can they can give them their opinions and there's some brilliant brilliant people involved I mean David Breen obviously being the first team coach down there Brian Murphy in the background as well that took over on Monday and

You know, as I say, and Vinnie said it as well, John Daly would have looked at last weekend thinking it was an opportunity and they actually weren't all that far away from making the most of even Friday night, let's say, in Tala.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

I spoke to, I happened to meet one of the Shamrock Rovers players yesterday in Kildare Village and I won't name names because his girlfriend was doing all the buying for him and I wouldn't do that to him.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

but he even said that on Friday night Waterford were actually very good that they very well could have got something out of the game and could have won it and again on Monday it was the same where two absolutely outstanding saves from the Dundalk keeper to keep it at 2-2 in the second half you know sort of kept them in it so there are possibilities there it's just how is the manager now going to best utilise all the talent that he has and that will include a decision around Amund and Lonergan and I don't know how he's going to do it yet

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

He possibly could.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

I mean, his hold-up play is good and his technical ability is good.

THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

I probably do see him as more of a striker than a 10 myself.

OTB Football
THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blues, as Coughlan steps in | 'Running through walls' for Caulfield | Will we have a title race?

I think he can be more of a handful when he's up there.

Obviously, he got his goal on Monday and so did Potter Gammon.

I mean, that goal, I'm not sure if anyone has seen it, but the second goal for Waterford was an absolutely outstanding goal.
