Match series 18.

[MeathDrog]

Great to be 2nd, but I think we have benefited from a slight drop in standard in the league this year.

Massive disappointment today. Don't know if it was a euro hangover, or changing the two centre backs and the keeper(what was Bucko thinking ?) but we were poor. What was frustrating was that I think we really beat ourselves. Two comedy goals gifted to Drogheda, and they didn't really have to be anything more than solid to see out the game, they certainly didn't outplay us (Not knocking them btw, we didn't deserve anything from the game, don't think we actually managed an effort on target.) Bad day, but there's still a way to go, so who knows. And Sligo have yet to play in Europe, so we don't know how that will affect them. Huge game against them in two weeks.

Our next 4 games are huge. If we can go into the last series of games 6 points or less off top then we have a real chance of winning it. Europe is already killing us. Hopefully it has the same affect on Rovers and Shams.

Hmm yeah - you've also benefited having a decent set of players who play well as a team. The Brennans have been playing together all their lives -telepathy at this stage.
I went along to that match today and was expecting a high scoring draw. Lovely afternoon in the sun but what a pair of flukey goals.
Stephen O'Flynn's shot was brilliant. Pity he didn't score.
Shels to beat Drogs 4-0 next Friday.

Realistically Shams won't be winning the league and certainly not with Kenny in charge.

I agree but it would be good for a top 3 to pull away so we don't have to worry about qualifying for Europe come the end of the season.

Neither may be position in 2/3 weeks time. Unlikely shams can win League from here but far from impossible (lot of head to heads still) and Agent Kenny cant have much more time there (unfortunately ;)).

[nigel-harps1954]

Thank you Drogheda and thank you PaddyPower. A nice handy tenner made there.

Not sure about that MB. I, for one, think he's doing a smashing job!

[wonder88]

Still think Shamrock Rovers can win the title, and if they do it will be a massive achievement by Kenny.

It would be an even bigger bottle job by Sligo at this stage.

14 games to go. If Rovers were to only win 7 of those, draw 3 and lose 4 they would end up on 59 points

Shams would have to win 11 and draw 2 of those 14 (or win more) of those games left to finish ahead of Sligo.

If Rovers win the title, it won't be Kenny that's in charge.
