If boez players treated every game like they do games against Rovers they'd be closer to looking like title contendersQuote:

Is it the camera angle or just me, or is Kenny becoming even more awkward at video interviews, the one tonight after Cork C game, he's almost looking away from camera at all questions and side wide only when answering. He should have got media training even at Dundalk, and especially Ireland, honestly think he's turning a bit odd. Still a great manager and has 5 PD titles, but surely he has to be doing better.
Plus where is this blistering form that saw them finish so strong end of 2024, lots of Dundalk fans I know have long lost bets on them winning the 2025 PD, and Pats were joint favs in Jan. For the reported huge wages he is on, it must be a source of huge frustration for Pats.
On the more modest side of the budget set up, Kilduff after a mini wobble did a great job in setting Dundalk up for a well deserved win v Cobh and restoring the 4 point lead, FD can be brutal at times, but at last some good football to watch, Cobh came into it as expected last 15 but not sure they caused too much problems, Animasahun was very good in central defence, and Arbui a live wire and the difference up front. Still mostly a team of kids flanked by Horgan and Dervin.
Tough game to judge there in Dalymount tonight. Bohs were certainly feeling the effects of the intensity on Monday and you can see the need for additional depth in the squad but there were enough chances squandered there tonight to win 3 matches. Eldings goal for Sligo was a cracker and after that Sligo were happy to sit back and absorb pressure. Great to see us dig in and get the equalizer and great to see the team still push for the winner well into stoppage time. That fight will keep us in or near the European places this year which is what every Bohs fan targeted this year.
Get his Irish passport sorted ASAP.Quote:

I think we need to change the plan against bohs, it looks like bradley is determined to treat these games as just another 3 points and I almost feel it's draining some of the passion out of our lads for these games. Roll the sleeves up and compete and our better players will come through.
Whatever though I'm happy with 6 points in the last week to bohs 4 but derry getting 9 was / is a worry. Depending how derry get on with the games in hand one against bohs it will be a big game against them on August 1st.
