Surprised there's no thread for this yet. I feel we can get a draw in this one. Cork probably haven't been playing as well as their points tally suggests. We outplayed them in the first game of the season and by all accounts we played very well down there in the 1-0 defeat, with a depleted squad.

We played well against derry imo, but looking at it on MNS, we really didn't create many chances. Boco was sorely missed.

It will be good to have Keane and O'Grady back, and we shouldn't have to be calling on our young players to start the game (I think?).

I'll be happy if the lads put in the same commitment as they did against derry, and if we do concede let's hope the heads don't drop.

It would be great if Morrison could step up to the plate, he has it in him.

Should be a good trip, with hopefully a big Rovers following and a good atmosphere.

Jesus fair play to Boco, absolute star, hopefully this will give the lads a boost ahead of the game.

Edit: By the wat whats the story with the bus for this?

great news to hear that romy is going to be in the team. if you remember last year he got out of his sick bed in hospital to travel to cork for the 2nd last game of the season. nobody should ever doubt his committment. a great player with a first class attitude. thanks romy

That's really first class. Who pays for his flights, though? Surely not Benin's FA?

We'll have to play very well to get anything from the game. Hopefully Keane coming back in will be a boost. I predict a narrow loss. :(

In keeping with the policy of Sligo Rovers FC of always making life easy for the administrative section of the FAI, we will beat the s hite out of Cork, thereby making the other parts of your question irrelevant.

Glad to be of help.

Keeping the fingers crossed for this one. Looks unlikely but I'll go for a two-one win for us.

Well done lads. savage result. being behind twice and all the stuff that's gone on with a small squad and this team don't give up. Brilliant stuff. Hopefully replay will draw a good crowd and we'll get the right result.:)

Was there much of a Rovers contingent there? That's a serious effort, all things considered. To think that we could pull that off with half a team against possibly the best side in the country. Delighted for the players and management and all who travelled down.
Any word on how serious Peers' injury is?
Hopefully we can make home advantage count for the replay.

Derserved it, great result, came out and came at them from the start of the second half and our second was always on the cards. Peers injury looked nasty, i hope its nothing serious but he was very groggy looking leaving the field. Holmes came off afte a bad tackle by faz who left the boot in. So real brave effort from our lads to come back twice down there.
Well Red

This is typical Rovers down the years, they lose a few games and you say all is lost and then they do the something like this. We start the season with high hopes and then we slip down the table and confidence starts to go and then they produce a tonic to get our hopes up again. How could we survive without them, life would be very dull. Have a great chance on Tuesday if we have enough players. Do Cork really deserve a team with the the miserable crowd that turned up last night to see the only two premiership teams in Cup action. Great result and well done the bit of red. Look forword to reading some reports from some of the lads that were at the match, imagine they are still in bed.
