Stephen Kenny still appears to be searching for a system and a preferred starting eleven as Shamrock Rovers continue to enjoy their early season form. Kenny’s project at Tallaght Stadium is clearly still a work in progress, yet Rovers’ clear superiority over many teams in the league is what has allowed them to emerge from many early season fixtures with preferable results.
Against Bohemians, Shamrock Rovers dominated much of the game’s possession, but were unable to take the lead until the 78th minute courtesy of a terrific goal, engineered by the impressive Ronan Finn and finished majestically by the emphatic Gary Twigg. Rovers then doubled their lead on 93 minutes through Billy Dennehy as Bohemians had left themselves exposed in their search for a late equaliser.
Throughout the game, Shamrock Rovers new boy, Aaron Greene and the exciting Karl Moore were under SC1 Sports’ spotlight.
Aaron Greene
Shamrock Rovers began the game in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Aaron Greene, Ronan Finn (who looked much more comfortable in an attacking role in this system) and Billy Dennehy starting on the left, centre and right respectively, of the attacking midfield 3. Whilst it was possible to discern Greene’s role as a left-winger in the opening stages, throughout the game, he switched positions with both Finn and Dennehy, giving Rovers’ attack a sense of fluidity.
In relation to Greene, many of Rovers’ attacks were instigated from the wing opposite to that which he occupied. As a result, he often used this opportunity to get into the penalty box to provide support to Gary Twigg. This wasn’t to say that Greene never got involved in build-up play himself, because he did, and on 22 minutes he drove a great pass from the left-hand side across the penalty area into the path of Twigg, who smashed the ball passed McNulty in the Bohemians goal. However, the goal was chalked off as the ball struck Twigg’s hand before he got his shot off.
Greene showed a willingness throughout the half contribute defensively in consistently tracking back. Although penetrative Bohemians attacks were few and far between, this willingness was necessary to protect Killian Brennan, who played out of position at left-back.
In the second half more attacks generated down Greene’s flanks, yet he was largely ineffective. This was largely due to the fact that he was dealt with efficiently by Owen Heary, but poor crossing also played a part as Greene completed 0/5 of attempted crosses in the second half.
Karl Moore
Karl Moore operated largely on the left-hand side of Bohemians 4-5-1 formation. In the early stages of the game it was noticeable that Moore and Pender, who played on the right-wing, sat very deep in the early stages, essentially allowing Shamrock Rovers to keep possession effortlessly in their own half. A sign of Rovers’ early dominance is that Moore did not attempt a pass or a dribble until the 9th minute.
Moore was very quiet for much of the first half, yet on 23 minutes he delivered a great cross from the left-hand side that was met by Adam Martin who headed over.
Defensively, Moore was quite poor. He was successful in 0/3 tackles in the first half and lacked composure in defensive areas at times. On 24 minutes he lost possession of the ball near the corner flag when he had ample time to deal with it. As a result he was forced to concede a free-kick in a dangerous area.
In the second half, Moore was uninvolved until the 53rd minute, yet when he did become involved in the game he showed himself to be very effective. On 53 minutes, after a good run into the box he managed to get a shot on target from a tight angle. Just one minute later, Moore turned into space 25 yards from goal and found the target with another shot, yet Jansson was equal to it. Moore’s duel with Jansson continued on 58 minutes as the two competed for a 50/50 challenge as Moore attempted to latch onto a long ball. Jansson’s timing needed to be perfect and fortunately for the Swede, it was.
Moore was the architect behind yet another one of Bohemians’ chances on 69 minutes as after running at Kerrea Gilbert down the left-hand side he found Martin with a cross, who again, could only shoot wide.
In the dying minutes of the game, Callaghan switched Moore over to the right wing, but Rovers’ domination of the closing minutes meant that he had little effect in this position. It would have been interesting to see him play a larger spell of the game in this position given how Rovers set up with Brennan and Greene (for the most part) operating down the left flank. In one sense, Callaghan may have considered this too much of a risk given how much of an attacking threat Brennan could have been from left-back, yet similarly, Moore could have seriously exposed Brennan’s defensive insufficiencies.
Insofar that it was Derek Pender (who is a right-back by trade) that was paired up with Killian Brennan, it seems as though Aaron Callaghan didn’t think this was a risk worth taking.

I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It’s

Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Thank you
Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not
sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Many thanks
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over
the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help stop content
from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.
Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog centered on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would appreciate your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
Hi there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to check it out. I’m definitely
loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Excellent blog and amazing design.
Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own
site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .
. Any ideas? Thanks!
My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net
from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about
a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email.
I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely donate
to this outstanding blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to new updates and will talk about this blog with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
Greetings from Florida! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to
check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break.
I enjoy the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m
amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile .
. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, fantastic blog!
Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured
I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!At this time it appears like Drupal is the best blogging
platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?Excellent post however I was wondering if you could
write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Bless you!
Hi! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as
yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Bless you!
Hi! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a collection of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a wonderful job!
Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking
at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the
direction of a good platform.
Howdy! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving
me mad so any help is very much appreciated.
This design is spectacular! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start
my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job.I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented
it. Too cool!
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes
which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit
more often. Did you hire out a developer to create
your theme? Great work!
Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new
to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be
bookmarking and checking back frequently!
Hi! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group?There’s a lot of people that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Cheers
Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!
Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying
for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Appreciate it
Greetings! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone.
I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!
I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead
and bookmark your site to come back later on.
All the best
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. thanks a lot
Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different
subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design.
Wonderful choice of colors!
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let
you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking
issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
Whats up are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you need any html coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m
starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from
someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems
with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and
I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up.Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
Hello there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok. I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked
hard on. Any tips?
Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results.
If you know of any please share. Cheers!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not sure why but this site is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Hello! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new apple iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your posts! Keep up the superb work!
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say wonderful blog! -
The rate of return against cost rises to 70% if the homeowner does the job herself, although the work often requires a level of expertise that is beyond the ability of most do-it-yourselfers. Also be aware that any indoor pet, such as a cat or dog, may want to drink from your pond and then find himself a healthy treat in the process. Earwigs are largely nocturnal creatures that can easily be drawn in at night by any lights you have in or around your home.
