It's really surprising how poor you were tonight. Not sure what way Clancy wants you playing. Don't think we played our best tonight tbh, second goal tops the Sligo winner for defensive ineptitude Will Kelleher pull the plug?Quote:

More laughable than laudable to be honest Nesta. Absolutely dire from Rovers tonight albeit playing against a team who seemed to be using kicking for touch as a tactic.
At least ucd, drogs and Cork try and play football. If duff ever becomes Rovers manager he won't last long with that anti football..
No surprise…Quote:

And when we recover the ball we're too deep so that backlines have a field day winning headers and recovering second balls. It's both ineffective and not great to watch.Quote:

We were so poor, particularly in the second half.
Only one home team scored tonight.
But they outscored every other team in the league 9-8
Defences on top in Ballybofey,neither did enough truth be told but plenty of effort and endeavour,decent crowd again considering away crowds are nearly non existent,will need a win soon to keep them though….
Hardly a vintage performance from Bohs tonight but showed a lot of effort and perseverance that was missing in games the previous 2 seasons. Last year we would have found a way to lose that game even though Pats only had 1 effort of note from a corner which drew a great save from Talbot.
Pats are a strange team. They have some very nice players and good individuals but they don't seem to be working well together. Defensively they looked poor and I'd say they looked worse attacking. Do Pats fans think Clancy will last much longer?

Good to see Pats fans celebrate Bohs winner with some toilet roll
Hello darkness my old friend.
That must be one of the easier visits to Inchicore I can remember. We looked like the home side for large parts of the match. Devine has players who looked hopeless last season playing like world beaters. We seem like we have goals in us but the worry was always the defence. Tonight’s clean sheet was one of the really enjoyable aspects of the win. Clancy could be a goner. Imagine Long took over.
This isn't based on any good authority but I'm quite sure Clancy will be gone by no later than the Rovers game and Long will be in.
This is no disrespect to any of Dundalk, Sligo or Bohs but all three were made to look so much better than they probably are this last week in the sense that they totally controlled things against a side they're meant to be competing with, and in most quarters were less favoured than going into the season. Clancy has had a disaster and I've wanted to warm to him more than most.
Shocking stuff from Rovers, no urgency , no penetrative against a woeful shelbourne. I've never seen a team actually kicking for touch from free kicks. Duff should be ashamed of himself. We are running out of excuses for being terrible.
Difficult night for Kerry in ED Park tonight, they probably should have set up more defensively and things like conceding right on the half-time whistle didn't help. The full-time fitness showed towards the end as well. I recall an 8-1 against Sligo not that long ago, so for Kerry folk, keep at it and keep the faith.
Bray v LTFC was a tough watch. And not just because of the terrible (I assume) Pixelot cameras randomly zooming in and out and missing the ball on several occasions. Not an awful result but we're going to struggle to score goals.
Students in big trouble already 5 games in. Pitch was a disgrace tonight, embarrassing for a premier division game to be played on a pitch covered in bare patches destroyed by rugby scrummaging
Not sure Long would be a great solution to the problems I saw for Pats. In the end he struggled to get the team motivated on a week to week basis, had the team set up poorly and conceded many silly goals to snatch a loss or a draw from the jaws of victory and struggled to get the best out of some talented players.Quote:

Watching the highlights now and the pitch is looking pretty rough alright.Quote:
