Stephen Kelly on Athlone vs Bohs
"The game against Bohs is a chance for the lads and the Club to experience the big match day against one of the form teams in the Premier Division. Bohs are on a very good run at the moment and we go into the match as absolute underdogs.
"The last three matches have seen the team perform below par and we have had a few words during the week with regard to what is expected from this team. The lads have put in a good week training and the humour in the camp is good. The aim is to win the game and have a good cup run but the priority is to start turning the league form around in order to climb the table where I believe we can challenge for promotion.
The injuries are confined this week to Steven Gavin and Des Hope who both have hamstring injuries and are definitely out of Friday's game.
"The squad is determined to turn things around for themselves, the Club and most importantly the supporters who will hopefully turn up in large numbers in Dalymount and help turn the season for the better."
