Obviously, I was coming back into the league and I'd won four doubles in a row or in five years going into the...
Ireland job and then coming out and it had gone well so maybe people felt the team and someone with experience of it it's a good blend but I think it flattered us really because we weren't technically we were a high standard but physically and athletically I think it's fair to say that we weren't at the level required and you know that was proven I think it's
it's been it's a great club obviously when I was appointed I was the fifth manager in five years you know at the club so it needs a bit of stability and it needs a return to
Honesty really is important, quality and integrative effort, determination, all of these values need to be synonymous with the team which was seen as more of a technical team who would struggle to cope physically with the demands of either more difficult away venues or teams that would physically impose a style on us.
Yeah, we did.
I think while the previous year was really an overachievement qualifying for Europe, in that last year it was the expectation that we should qualify for Europe.
So when we didn't qualify, we only had ourselves to blame and we were disappointed with that.
Yeah, Mason's breath of fresh air.
I think, obviously, he did put him in.
He's a 16-year-old leading the line against Istanbul, Baskershire in the play-off and really doing brilliantly against them home and away.
I've not come across that before, a 16-year-old doing that.
So I think to be the main centre-forward in a
4-3-3 and lead the line like that that's quite unique so he did brilliantly it's amazing it's such a low scoring league now you know we know Shelbourne won the league the year before scoring 40 goals in 36 matches which
In 2018, we scored 85 goals.
The league has changed, it's become quite a defensive.
80% of the teams are playing back five.
Mason was the top scorer from play last year with 13.
13 and 36, it's not remarkable, it doesn't sound remarkable, and yet it was for him, because I think Poggiama got 14 with a few penalties, and he had a great season also, but Mason got 13 from play in the league, and it doesn't seem such a feat.
It is, because the context of playing against back fives as a single centre-forward,
coming in for a lot of punishment, complaining about nothing, getting up, getting on with it.
