[Present participle of dialectal rare, to rear, variant of rear2. to go and the weekend friendly with Warrington was probably one too many, '' he said. ``I've been happy with the way pre-season has gone and now have a strong squad of about 18 lads. The problem is going to be keeping them all happy. ``Keeper Matt Boswell looks like being out until about October after having an operation on the cartilage in his knee last week that threw up a few complications and I am now looking for further cover in that position. ``It's disappointing as I thought I had the two keepers I needed. '' He added: ``I've been particularly impressed with the way Mark Byrne and Ian Johnson Ian Johnson may refer to:
``I feel striker Dave Rowan David Rowan (born David Drohan...December 6, 1882 - July 30, 1955) was a Major League Baseball first baseman who played for the St. Louis Browns in 1911. A native of Elora, Ontario, Canada, the 28-year-old rookie stood 5'11" and weighed 175 lbs. would have made his mark anyway last season only to suffer a bad knee injury so it does not surprise me how he has performed over the past three or four weeks.
