Looking easy enough for Rovers. Be nice to get an early 3rd and be able to relax

I thought Cork had managed to just get themselves into the game a little bit, after a strong start from Rovers, and then were hit with a sucker punch. The first goal just seemed way too easy. Can’t see a way back for them now. If they had Keating and Maguire up front I actually think they’d be quite decent.

And 3-0 now. Thought the keeper should have done better there.

Rovers could and should have scored 7 or 8 tonight.
Most of the Rovers squad are back fit and after the 1st series of games I need to re-evaluate my prediction of Rovers finishing 4th this season. They will finish higher than that I feel.
Talk of a striker from NIFL coming in the summer, Noonan needs to just get 1 for Rovers and I feel he'll really break loose.
On tonight's showing Cork do not look prepared for Premier division football which is a shame as the league needs a decent side from the city.
Over to itchysore on Friday for a big game and hopefully a big statement from Rovers.

First Division Cobh have now lost 3 league games in a row.
Is there a crisis at the club?
The club make a statement this past week on fans concerns with FC32 Global Holdings Inc. withdrawing funding from their Austrian 2nd Division team SKN St. Polten and that CEO Paul Francis resigned his position at that club.
Time now for the new manager Mick McDermott, to earn his wages FC32 backing him and his signings of 12 new players and 6 new backroom staff!

No pressure there Mick!
??

I think everyone always feared if things got choppy there at any stage that the managers temperament may be an issue. Be interesting to see how he navigates things if they go on a very bad run of results or if there are genuine issues behind the scenes

Be interesting to see how he navigates things if they go on a very bad run of results or if there are genuine issues behind the scenesMad Mick won't be feeling the pressure in the slightest, since he'll just dust off the tried-and-tested 3 stage plan which has served to keep him in jobs long beyond his sell-by date before now:
1. Persuade the owners to give him (even) more money;
2. Find excuses for results continuing to tank;
3. Point the finger at others.

So that if (when?) it all ends in tears, they won't be his.

16 points from our last 6 matches is the kind of consistency we showed when doing the 4 in a row - no surprise that this is happening as it coincides with full squad more or less now available ( Jack Byrne played 90 mins last night for first time since who knows and was almost unplayable)…. So I’m very optimistic as to how well ( assuming no injury crisis) we’ll do.

In addition new striker deal you mention I understand is a done deal which will in medium term post July be another plus ( hopefully).

Of course come Friday week after we’ve played Pats, Bohs & Shels we’ll have a much better sense of where we’re at but I’m quietly optimistic.

Just seen Clancy's comments slating his players there. Been an interesting few days of quotes from him.

An absolute dose to listen to. Every week it’s always somebody else’s fault and never his own. This week it’s all his players fault - the squad of players that he signed/re-signed himself
