No wonder Shels have only six goals this season - they missed two absolute howlers in the first half on Saturday. Dean Kelly blasting over with the goal gaping and Sean Brennan poking the ball at Gerard Doherty, when he was already on his backside, from about eight yards out.
That latter chance was Arsenal style ridiculous as well - Brennan and Leech (I think) playing a one-two when both had opportunities to shoot. Waltzed through a stunned-into-paralysis Derry defence who could only watch as Doherty fell over and Brennan conspired to miss.
In the first half Shels much the better side. Derry dominated in the second, got on top of the ball and got on top in general even if they didn't create as much. Michael Duffy recovered from a tough start to score a tremendous goal, lovely finish. Derry eased through from there, although still needed McBride to clear off the line late on. Our defence still needs a serious tightening up.
If Shels had a finisher, they'd be ok. Did well in the first half, they sorely missed Bayly after he went off injured.
