For Bohemians manager Keith Long this is it!
The man is looking forward to another repeat of last
season successes with his Bohs, after having an eventful season in 2019, now
the aim is to look for the league shield and a positive run in the upcoming
UEFA Europa qualifiers.
So far, the Dublin side has reinforced its ranks in the
offseason with the arrival of new players and assuring their current player
base as well boosting their academy in getting new managers in their- U-19, U-17, and U-15.
The arrival of managers Gavin Teehan U-19, Derek Pender
U-17 and Keith Roche shows off the seriousness of the Bohs front office of
building a contender for many years to come, starting from its academies.
With the big team netting four new faces in fullback
Anton Breslin, midfielder JJ Luney, winger Kris Twardek, and goalkeeper Stephen
McGuinness as well seeing the return of defender Dan Casey on loan with Cork
City.
In addition to re-signing the likes of Paddy Kirky(df),
Michael Baker (df), Andre Wright (f), Andy Lyons (df), Cristian Magerusan (f),
Dawson Devoy (m), Keith Ward (m), Luke Wade- Slater (w) and Promise Omochere
(w) these players have confirmed a return to Phibsborough.
Adding to the group the likes of striker Dinny Corcoran
and defender Rob Cornwall being the first to sign contracts with the Dalymont
side before the end of last season.
As the club with near of completing a full squad and
preparing for their home opener on February 14 against their cross-town foes
the Shamrock Rovers, kicking off another contested edition in the League of
Ireland.
As these will kick a preseason with matches against first
division foes Longford Town on January 15 and on January 22 against Athlone
Town and other matches to be announced, it shows how this team is getting
ready for a contested 2020.
Coming to this 2020 the LOI obvious favorites will be the
defending champions Dundalk FC as well the Shamrock Rovers touted as the other
side to win the league after their feat in the FAI Cup upsetting the league
champions.
Still, I do not discard a strong run from these hardened Bohemians,
despite the competition, these will face off with Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk
defending its shield as well as their new European adventure.
The Bohemian somehow are building a contender and for
sure these will display a top-notch campaign, still, a third or fourth spot is something
these will endure in their European adventure this upcoming summer.
