Fixtures 18th-22nd

Thankfully you did it could have been 5 or 6 if you kept going.

Bad night at the office for us, we'll have nights like that with such a young team, they looked shattered, goal right on half time killed us, could have gone 10 ahead of Rovers and killed their European hopes with a win, only 4 now.

Anyway, bring on Cork.

The league is so strange.
Watching the game last night it is hard to believe you beat us a few weeks ago and watching Cork in Tallaght a few weeks ago it is hard to believe they are top of the league (if they win their game in hand).
The home v away form of most of the top teams in the league is mad.....with Rovers the most nutty of them all.

Genuinely have no idea how to call your game against Cork...

If your drinking is already a problem don't read Emmett Malone's Irish Times piece on Roverz and Bradzer unless you have the phone number for the Rutland

That`s a measured enough piece from Emmet Malone. I would have thought that barring a heavy defeat to Bohs on Friday ( very unlikely, given our poor goalscoring record at home, other than against Rovers) and a subsequent drift into the fringes of relegation territory, Bradley will survive and Rovers will probably improve as the season goes on. not least because they will have a good keeper in Mc Manus, who will organise his defence a lot better away from home than they have been capable of to date.

Bradley will also survive because the hangers on like Mc Phail, Robinson and Co , know that any new manager worth his salt would run them out of Tallaght as soon as he was appointed,.
So they will continue to support Bradley and keep themselves a nice little earner.

Anyway, role on Friday, As Placid C says above, any score is possible, but we are about due a drubbing from them. Hopefully the great unwashed of Wrexham FC and the Brexiters of Cardiff FC, stay in Wales for this one.

Funnily enough Cardiff were one of the (if not the only) parts of Wales that voted to remain in the EU.

You could end up in a mess.

You realise Rovers are playing Dundalk on Friday week?

I think we'll struggle tbh. I don't agree that we haven't improved a good deal from last season, the table alone belies that. We're capable of playing some good stuff and are more defensively solid (most weeks). Our midfield is a bit lightweight though, in the absence of Killian Brennan and Owen Garvan. Those two haven't started a game together this year, and I think we'd be stronger with them in the team. Rovers over ran us in midfield last night.
