They played a lot with the back three and different formations didn't really work.

they sort of they signed a lad from Drogheda Thomas up front but the three behind Michael Duffy James Clark and Marky from Drogheda is very very exciting that is as good a three behind or sort of a front line as there is in the league and obviously then McLean coming in his brother playing a centre half they have a lot to like about the Fleming maybe is outstanding so

I think the pressure will come on a little bit now because I think it's time that they put a title challenge in and a proper one and I feel they've got the players to do that this year.

I think they'll be a real serious contenders this season and McLean gives them

No I think this is different I think this is different this feels different winning the President's Cup and people involved with Sean McRovers will say well it's only the President's Cup we played this we didn't really try but this is different I remember being involved went down to Cork with a team my first ever game as a manager and we beat Cork and a very good Cork team and the knock on effect and the psychological boost it gave us was huge and

And also the damage it done to them.

Now, it's not the same for Rovers.

They're in a stronger position than that Cork team, whereas the Weeby.

But I think that's a huge opportunity for them.

And the first four games were home, which is huge.

So they've a real chance of getting up and running.

So I think this feels different and it should feel different.

And they should have a belief.

And I think the sort of...

If I had one criticism of their manager last year, he was searching and searching for formations for the right players.

I think they found it by hook or by crook, that sort of 4-2-3-1 and they've got to stick with that.

And the criticism of the manager a little bit last year was that

they sort of shut up shop and didn't really, weren't expansive.

I think if you're going to win a league title, you've got to go and earn it and go and make it happen and outscore teams and they've got the firepower to do that now.

So that, for me, means they've a real, real chance to be crowned champions at the end of the season.
