[Aberdonian Stu]

We're hoping to have a live blog of this up tonight at Action81.com just waiting to get confirmation from Schumi that he's available. I'm unavailable tonight.

From the match preview -

United boss Alan Mathews has several injury concerns ahead of the game as Robbie Martin, Paul Crowley, Jamie Harris, Eoghan Osborne and Glen Fitzpatrick are all doubts.

And Mathews must also plan without former Shamrock Rovers midfielder Eric McGill who is suspended following his red card in Galway.

Granted, some of those absentees will probably improve their side, but overall, it can only be good for us. Really need a win to put daylight between us and them. Very early doors I know, but if we get the win we're very much capable of, it's hard to see either Bray or Drogheda staying up this year.

Jayz, Drogheda were fairly poor. The heads dropped noticeably after the peno, and they never really threatened after Killer killed them off. Reminds me of us in 2008. Can't see any hope of them staying up, tbh.

Win our game in hand and we're fourth.

I thought Drogheda looked the better side for most of the first half. They didn't force Billy into any saves though until the last minute of the first half. Once the second went in, they were never going to get back into it.

Better late than never, here's highlights of the game. Technical problems with the source video mean I don't have the last 20 minutes, and it was too much hassle to go back and correct the couple of scoreboard glitches.
