I used to always call Bradley the spoofer. Still feel a lot of the success at your club is despite him and not because of him. He has had a very good team around him and big budgets. I’m sure not many at Rovers will agree and point to his achievements but they don’t stack up as well as they should and that is down to his shortcomings as a manager.

Hard to know who to go for in the league race now, all 3 are showing signs of consistent 'inconsistency', Shels still very well organised, but hampered by losing their key striker, and another defender?, Derry are a strange fish, talent all over but not clicking, Hoban fairly the other night, Dan Kelly did very little and Connolly looks all but finished. Dummingan is a class act though and Duffy has plenty left in the tank. For me Higgins is their main weak spot, he's a coach, not a manager.

Then we have Rovers, PP have them at 4/1, seems about right, well into 3rd place, I can't see them making up the ground. Shels have to be abs favs, points wise, but it wouldn't surprise me if Derry sneaked over the line, going to be tight.

Relegation end, ask me in 2 weeks time, then in 3 weeks time!

Wexford come from 2 down at HT to beat Athlone away from home,they’ve also scored as many league goals in the last 3 days than we have in the last 2 months!

Two similar comebacks by away sides within a few days in the league of Ireland, shows how competitive a season we are having. While the draw against Dundalk must have been frustrating for Derry, they actually improved their position. Still 3 teams in it?

Longford have a way better squad than Treaty and Kerry also better and Treaty should be bottom . Lee lynch a great signing and has them playing well . Reckon pike will put it up to them and an upset on the cards . Curran hit form for one game but scoring a big issue for them and looks like Longford a one off .

Wouldn't agree Longford have a better squad than Treaty at all. Aside from Henry and Elworthy we've very little established LOI names. Stephen Christopher, Lee J Lynch and Enda Curran all played for Treaty on Saturday and ran the show, those are the sort of players we could only dream of right now
