Probably a little bit early, but I'm already gunning for next season and it's time to look ahead. Which positions are up for grabs? Are there any decent players to come through? Anyone making a mark on the club championship? Just a place to discuss the coming year.

Fair play, happy to turn the page and look ahead. I think very few positions are nailed down - maybe Kinsella at 11 if he returns to full fitness. Otherwise I think everything is up for grabs - could see changes in every line on the pitch depending on how lads perform in the run up to the league and during the league. Won't name them all here but there's 12 players I would expect to make the first 15 so I think there are 3 starting spots up for grabs for whoever steps forward. That could be lads like O'Halloran, Jones, Charlie O'Connor, Lynch who were in and out, it could be lads like Curtis, Duke or Murphy who got very little game time or it could be lads coming through from previous u20 teams. There is enough talent there to make a strong 15 and a strong 26 but there has to be a real focus on game management and ruthlessness.

Do we have any idea how we can improve defensively with mostly the same personnel? It does just seem to be the style of football we play, but it's cost us dearly at times - though to be fair, we've gained from it too.
