Same again from Rovers enough chances to easily win , Bohs took the one they created aided by poor defending surprisingly by Lopes and title race well and truly on
Good to see Georgie Kelly doing his best work yet for us and helping us deservedly reach the top of the league.
The break did us the world of good. We'd gone flat before it and have come back on fire. Brilliant again tonight, Harps started well and Foley's finish was a good one but outside of that they were outclassed.
I'll be gutted to lose Alfie Lewis. Completely biased but I'd be stunned if there were a better player in the league at the moment.
How did we not take one of those chances,??
Need to start showing a bit more form.
Given how we've been playing the last month or so it's a miracle we are joint top.
I suppose we can only get better
Alphabetical or goals scored?
I’m sure you know how placings are decided. You may well hammer Drogs on Friday and go back on top but for now you’re 2nd.
Alfie Lewis is better than the midfielders you have.
Bohs started off very shaky at the back, giving the ball away in their own half , but once they settled down SRFC offered nothing apart from a few long range shots. Georgie Kelly took his goal brilliantly and for once Bohs didn't concede in injury time this season
Graham Burke has an attitude problem. First he's looking to have a go at Brian Kerr in the stands and now he's trying to fight Bohs fans in the stands. No wonder he couldn't hack playing/living in the UK. What a waste of ability. He should be an a regular in that Irish team now.
Delighted to hear Burkey wasn't taking any crap from the vermin in the stand. He's 100% Rovers.
On the game itself, it was a tale of 2 strikers - Gaffney had 4 chances in the first 20 mins and missed, Kelly had 1 good chance and took it well.
Hopefully Towell coming in will give us a cutting edge up front as it's badly needed if we want to remain Champions of Ireland.
There is a lot riding on Towell hitting the ground running. Continue the current form and Europe might not be nailed on.
Re. The chances you had, there were some, but maybe the luck that helped earlier in the season has swung the other way.
I wouldn't necessarily disagree with any of that summation bohstastic, although given the lack of quality in the league I'd expect Rovers to comfortably qualify for Europe next season.
Swings and roundabouts with luck I guess, same as any other team
Alan Cawley was spot on when he said Rovers have regressed badly from last season. Bohs were very comfortable once we took the lead, Rovers had one chance I think and spent the rest of the time doing snidey fouls and pumping long balls into the sky.
Two clean sheets in a row against teams above us is encouraging and if we can sort out our defending and stop gifting goals we can make a move up the table.
Hard to believe we are only 7 points behind after the dismal start we've had.
Harps were abysmal again last night. Down a hell of a lot of bodies though. Folan, Webster, Dunleavy, O'Sullivan, Russell, Connolly and Timlin all missing. Connolly and Dunleavy sat on the bench but neither were going to play. Ended up with a lot of square pegs in round holes, had three academy players come on for their debuts, and Ryan Rainey making his first start for the club in midfield. None of that ideal against Pats.
Lot of individual errors again and poor defending for the goals. Never really looked at the races.
Rob Harvey is a joke of a referee. Denied a stonewall penalty and Conor Barry had a foul against him for getting his nose bust open. Go figure.
To make matters worse, Mark Coyle is due a suspension for Longford on Friday night. So down another player again.
We really need to get some bodies in this window.
Getting Watts and a fully fit Finn as well as Towell will make a big difference to us but with the lack of a lead in the league i wonder is a European run going to be a good or a bad thing this year.
If Rovers win against Slovan we will have 6 more mid week games and with the way we are struggling now that could cost us the league.
If i was offered go out after 2 rounds in europe (the minimum with parachute) but win the league id take it and run.
Gaffney should have taken 1 of his chances early and it would have been a different game but hey ho on to next week and hopefully pick up 3 points against Drogs
The government guidelines. If a ground has a capacity of over 5000, 200 fans are allowed in, if it’s capacity is less than 5000 then 100 are allowed. I believe that’s due to raise to 500 and 200 fans respectively in July and then another increase is due in August but there’s no word yet on how many fans that may be (fingers crossed it’s 1000 at the very least)
I'm really impressed with what I've seen from us since the break. There is a great work ethic in the group and I think SOD has done brilliant with team. I'm hopeful now that we can defiantly secure European football for next season.
