you know, I don't see it being a significant weakness for them or I don't see it being something that's really going to cost them in the long run.

For all that, you know, Pico will definitely be a loss, of course.

See, that's it exactly.

I suppose it's something that would have been very noticeable even when I was playing.

I don't know if you noticed it, Vinnie, but when a team was playing with one striker, so if they were playing 4-3-3 or 4-5-1, whatever it was,

the two centre-backs would generally speaking be so, so comfortable.

But all of a sudden when you would put two up front and put 2v2 at the back or even, obviously it would be 3v2 against Shamrock Rovers, it just creates such a totally different dynamic because it's so, so unusual and teams so rarely play against it now where, you know, before 4-4-2 would have been your...

bog standard formation everyone can have played it but when you put the two up front and when all of a sudden you change it up and you start going a bit more direct and you as you say put people under pressure pick up second balls it can be it can be incredibly effective and look at if it's if it's something that John Fields is going to be effective against Charlotte Grovers on Friday no doubt he will he will have thought about it anyway so it'll be real interesting to see it

I don't even talk about him when he scored against me but I played with him with him me and Cullough but we were playing with each other in Cork never mind the ones he scored against me oh very nice don't want to say you just chat away there I'll see if I can find any info there go on go on Johnny and I'll tell you you talk about a handful there there was a handful there that is that is absolutely for sure

Going back to your question, Steve, I'm not even slightly surprised that things have gone so well for him.

I was talking to him very briefly before the game because he was obviously suspended.

He was up on the stand and then after the game I just said good luck to him on the way past.

It was funny, I was thinking about it on the way home.

The way the game had gone,

I'm not sure who should have been happy or who should have been unhappy with the result.

Naturally, Killer would have been disappointed, I think, not to win the game given they were 2-0 up and then 3-2 up with five minutes to go.

But I'm saying that they could have very well been 3-2 down before that.

So it was probably in some ways a fair result.

But I suppose, look, going back to Dundalk and what they've been like, I've only seen bits and pieces of them, but I must say what really impressed me on Monday was their fluidity and attack.

and their unpredictability at times when they're on the ball.
