id be amazed if we sign anyone.
the goalie situation and lack of Gary O’Neill have really hurt us

It hasn’t been mentioned here before but if Drogheda are to have a chance of staying up they need to sign a goalkeeper,Wogan concedes an awful goal at least every other game now and his confidence looks shot, needs to be sat for a while and get somebody else in,im not sure the other keeper there is up to much either….
You can call it a complex if you like and I didnt think you were referring to me directly. I dont dislike Rovers as much a many also - my formative years in LoI didnt involved Rovers bar occasionally to build up a significant hatred. I'm saying that what you call bad mouthing Rovers achievements is simply observing that they should be performing better this year, should have set points tally records previously, and that if this is the end of an era it should be questioned why - what was done to freshen things up, address a chronic extensive injury list, deal with accumulatig debt without that possibility of a CL pathway 2025 and the implications that may have for your membership. Calling out football fans for being football fans too/ I get it though as a Dundalk fan I can identify with the frustrations that a club may have blown the opportunity to do a Rosenbord of old or a BATE, that all th ingredients were there to dominate indefinitely only for individual(s) to throw spanners in the works, unsettle the inner workings of a club and the chance is lost. Your best may be doing 4 in a row but when such numbers could be greater....well its like how the Seanie season rankles cause it stopped a Dundalk 6 in a row and ye have to settle on 5 in 6 seasons
Id love to be able to take you up on the suggestion of enjoying the weekend but Im very thankful that there will be wall to wall football to watch
8 games in a row Dundalk haven’t conceded a goal at home,some going !
And more bizarre, before the Sligo game on Thursday it was still (just) the worst home record in the PD, also in the 8 games it is only 3 wins, but still a good turning point as 2 of those wins were Rovers and Bohs before Sligo.
The club record was 6 I think, and that was broken in the Derry 0-0 game a few weeks ago.
Last team to score was Sligo, that 0-5 hammering, 4th March, the 'injury' to Shelvey at HT and he was subbed, didn't come out for the second half.
His fitness - or lack thereof - is such a shame as I'm pretty sure we'd be grand with him at right back were he able to stay injury-free. As you say it's such a small sample size with him but he's always looked good, Thursday night being a prime example of that. I think the total amount of minutes he's played since signing well over a year ago only amounts to about seven and a half full games which tells the story. Would love if he could be relied upon to put a run of games together now but can't see it personally, we've really made a mess of the full back positions this season in terms of recruitment.
Where does Bradley go if he leaves Rovers though? I don't think he's good enough to make it in England (he might try, btu I think it'd be one club and that's it). He's linked himself with the Ireland role I think, but that's not going to happen after the Kenny debacle. And that leaves what - Bohs/Shels/Pats?
I would say Bradley would have a fair few offers across the water... Even more than Kenny would have had when he left Dundalk.
Bradley is a corporate company man, the kind of appointment that clubs drool over.
