Before I get shot down, i realise i'm taking this quote completely out of context, just feel like I have to defend our position.Quote:

As for our on the field development, we have not been getting the run of the luck in games. Some games we have been the worse side, Shels x 2. Pats Away, Cork Away, Drogheda Away and Derry Home are all examples of this, but everyother game we have deserved something from.
* Drogheda stole a point five minutes into injury time the other night,
* Derry got a dodgy penalty decision two minutes into the game, still managed to completely dominate the second half, and deserved at least a point.
* Pats at home, we completely outplayed them, and only a deflected shot beat Robbie Horgan.
* Longford home, only a screamer from Dessie Baker seperated the sides, in a game which the Vikings dominated.
* Waterford Away, dominated only to lose
* Rovers Away, we were the better side, just couldn't score.
* Cork at home, we well worth a share of the spoils, just couldn't equalise.
And we deservedly beat Waterford and Bohemians. And anyone who was at either of those games will find it hard to point out the relegation fodder and the title challengers.
I personally think the League table is a poor reflection on the abilities of the sides in the league, Drogheda are not one of the top sides in the league, and i think they will suffer in the latter end of the season.
Also going on the above games, we have dropped 14 collectable points, they would put us into fourth place, considering taking points of other sides, behind Shels, Bohs and Cork.
I understand that we are currently three points of the pace at the bottom of the table, but I believe that we are good enough to get out of this mess. We have learned a lot from the opening series and a half of the premier division, and we can string a couple of good results together, to get ourselves out of the mire.
I think we will still be looking at a dog fight to avoid relegation, possibly going to the last game or two of the season. but we can stay up.
