Adequate performance by Derry in the RSC tonight. Played some nice football at times, but allowed Waterford too much control at other times.
Howler from Jones for the goal. Hard to tell, but may was over the line.
That's the best Waterford have played against us this year, but still four games without scoring.
Top of the league, and it in our hands, technically. I still think we'll be caught be Shamrock Rovers, mind!
Good point away to the league leaders (at the start of the night) but then Drogs win 7-0 to inch ever closer to us.
More bad keeping tonight across the league will keep that LOI Goalkeeping Howler thread ticking along nicely.
Piszechk worked shels harder I 15 mins the Akintunde did for 65mins. I think Bohs should start Piszechk more oftenQuote:

According to StattoLoI, that equals Drogheda's highest ever scoreline.
extend that out to 90!Quote:

Hopefully we can get our game against them called off next week, wouldn't be good for the integrity of the league if they stuck 12 past us.
McGinty our best player as well. Absolutely brutal. Season done in 7 days.Quote:

Luke Dennison with Bohs for almost 2 yrs and now playing a huge part in saving Drogheda. Maybe Bohs should have took a chance.
Poor defeat for Treaty at the MF as Wexford deserved the 3 points ,game lost on the sideline Barretts team selection meant the team lopsided and subs introduction plus their timing a disaster.Just heard his interview ..and true to form its back to the pathetic excuses ,all the teams above us are fulltime we,playing well.creating loads of chances, etc...fans are bored listening to it ,if McCormack and her new regime are serious about the investment they have already made and in the future time to look at squad mgt.they built this game up as a ..playoff clash...maybe 400/450 there
That result is that mad it almost like losing to an Albanian side trying to lose mad. Its an anti Dundalk conspiracy!!Quote:

We watched different games mate.aki had a really good game, bringing his midfield in with good hold up and his link ups with Tierney in particular was excellent.Quote:

On Bohs. Thought we played really well. Danny Grant had his best game since his return to the club. Genuinely delighted for him as well as he's had a rough time of it with the injuries. Unfortunately Bohs are just a team that lack confidence at the moment. Some of the misses were inexcusable (the open goal, Piszcech header, scramble at the back post) and that shows in defence with the Shels goal as well. I think they're really missing a leader at the back as Cian Byrne, Leigh Kavanagh and the new RB Smith look like capable defenders but need to be organized by someone with more experience. Hopefully Cornwall can offer that next season. Get a Striker in who can score 10+ goals and it could be a great season next year.
Drogheda United 7 Sligo Rovers 0, and Drogheda are a part-time out fit from what I believe while Sligo Rovers has been a full-time set up now for along time!Quote:

Attacking I don't believe any team in football can win a league over a 36 game season scoring barely above an average of a goal a game maybe there could be a first time for that statistic but our signings in the window were front loaded to that attacking area of the field and we don't look any better there even more blunt without Jarvis. I've got to trust Duff can fix this flat spell, Shels are entering a juncture now it's either going to be a title challenge to the end of season or we are actually in the middle of fizzling out and would be clinging to 2nd or dropping to 3rd spot
Yeah chopping and changing is a disaster for defensive cohesion. Something Bohs have seen a lot of this year and something I think lead to your goal last night. I've never seen a player try to clear the ball the way Smith did and I don't think our keeper has either. Keeper shouldn't have been in the position he was anyway but c'est la vie. Why hasn't Duff stuck with Ledwidge as Barrets CB partner? Imo that would be the closest thing to continuity as at least Ledwidge knows fully how you want to play and has worked in there before? Based on last night I wouldn't rate Griffin highly. He has a tendency to carry the ball too far forward which I don't think suits your defensive style.Quote:

Prime example is Paddy Kirk being an a yellow for about an hour last night? You really want to be trying to isolate him against Coote or Burt when he came on but you just didn't seem to try to do that. Coote was allowed drift into the middle a lot and that was already congested so attacks kinda broke down because the space was too crowded. I think you need your wingers to stay wide and give a bit more space to work in to Wood and O'Brien. Having the players part of the puzzle is sorted. Need to figure how they play together now.
