Tierney had one of the poorest games I've seen from him, maybe knowing it was his big farewell go to him a bit, but his touch was off and he hesitated in good positions where when he's been at his best he's been lethal for Bohs and Ireland under 21. Devoy similarly just never seemed to get going. Benson and Forrester had that bit more control and Forrester took his goal brilliantly. If Pat's can find a genuine striker to fit into their system, they have a solid looking team to maybe get a bit closer to Rovers next season. Then again, every league of Ireland side is looking for a centre forward, they're as rare as hens teeth.
