id take a draw.Bohs are muck and playing Derry is a real step up in class.
they destroyed us earlier in the season and although we are at home,not sure it will count for much.if the crowd get behind the team,you never know though.
Foyzer will score this time though.a free kick.
Two words, Pat McCourt:eek:.
2words........Keith Foy!!
IMO i think we would be lucky with a draw! But i really think it might be a repeat of earlier this season
were in good form now....unbeaten in 5 games! we will get at least a point!!!
I doubt Switzerland Ukraine will affect the crowd too much either. 1-1.
we've made a lot of progress since the game in the brandywell&i most definitely cannot see a repeat of that game. up until a few weeks ago i thought derry were a great shout to win the league but my opinion of them isn't as high as it was then. mccourt is obviously a great player but he doesn't turn up every week&the "farmer's field" might stifle him somewhat. our performance v bohs wouldn't have much affect on how i think this game will go but the result does as it will boost confidence no end&in some games i don't think the team has enough confidence. 1-0 mansaram
Is this the same McCourt that was Player of the Month for May? Ciaran Martyn is a far bigger danger to your defence that Paddy and Farren is getting his sharpness back. We are top if we beat you so I don't see why your opinion isn't as high. Could be a long night for Rover's fans.
I'm not confident of getting anything from tomorrow night's game but if we're on form(which we are) then the same could be said for City fans;).Quote:

Sligo Rovers manager Sean Connor has targeted a victory over Derry City at the Showgrounds tonight, although the Candystripes make the short journey to their north-west rivals in the knowledge that a win will see them take over at the top of the Premier Division table.
Derry climbed to second place in the top flight with a 3-0 win over Dublin City on Friday night.
With a superior goal difference to third-placed Drogheda – who also play this evening – and leaders Cork not in action until Tuesday, Derry will move to the top of the table, for 24 hours at least, with three points tonight.
But Sligo are also in good form, as evidenced by their 2-0 away win over Bohemians on Friday, and Sean Connor’s side have put together a seven-match unbeaten run in front of their home fans this season.
And Belfast native Connor is looking for a victory as vengeance for his team’s heaviest defeat of the campaign to date, a 3-1 reverse at the Brandywell back in March.
He told the Irish Sun: “Derry was the only spanking we’ve taken this year and my pride was hit by that. Also, as a Belfast boy, there’s always that rivalry with Derry and I’d love to get one over on them.”

'Derry was the only spanking we've taken this year'. Well that explains Belfield - it was obviously Athlone Town I was watching.
Sean Flannery is pushing for a starting place up front:eek: as Sligo Rovers boss Sean Connor has a full squad to pick from.
'Derry are probably the form team in the league,' said Connor. 'They are strong in every department and gave us a good spanking earlier in the season.'
Ken Oman and striker Kevin McHugh (hamstring) are sidelined for Derry.
Though Clive Delaney made the bench for Friday's 3-0 defeat of Dublin City, Derry are likely to be unchanged with Mark McChrystal again set to partner skipper Peter Hutton in central defence.
Flannery wont be starting.He couldnt drop McT or Flash and Judge would be the next in line anyway.
with the sunshine tis morning i thought we were certs to win but clouds dont suit us......come on sunshine.
the sun shone and so did the team!!!!
great win for the rovers.some excellent performances.mct ran himself into the ground as usual but i thought conor o grady ran him close for man of the match.keith foy was very good again,probably our best player so far over the course of the season.thought flash was quiet first half but sharper in the second.and what a goal that would have been from hughesie from half way!just want to give a special mention to the derry fans.they were absolutely brilliant last night.they didn't stop singing from start to finish, even when they're team was 3-1 down.They showed us up. They are real football fans, not like our lot who sit in silence for 90mins.
We sit in awed silence.
PS. The Derry fans were fantastic but then they always have been the best fans coming to the Showgrounds - a bit like the Irish fans when they go to a foreign country
i have to agree. although i don't expect every1(ie. women&children) to be singin you'd expect that more than 20-30 of us would get into it. derry's fans are an absolute credit to the leagueQuote:
