Sligo Rovers 2 - 1 Bray Wanderers

[dong]

We may be beaten in Derry but by "stuffed" I take it you mean beaten off the park or given a hiding?
It's not something that happens to Rovers teams very often to be fair. As bad as we've been this season we haven't taken a hammering. I believe we can take a draw from Derry if a bit of luck goes our way.
Great result last night, no point in negative talk now just so we can say "I told you so" later.
Come on the bit o' red!!!

They weren't bad, we were just better. They're a young side, but very enthusiastic. Their subs were out until kick-off, and all during h/t, kicking the ball around in the pouring rain. I thought it said a lot about them. Their no.9 did quite well up front, he'll be a decent player, I reckon.

They'll be fine as far as relegation goes. 7th or 8th I'd say.

Where were you last night? You missed a game in The Showgrounds. The Bray subs who were kicking around at half time should have stayed out there as the team didn't come out in the second half. Playing with a gale it was 25 minutes before they mounted an attack. Clueless and the only thing that can/will save Bray from relegation is Drogheda.

We'll get stuffed in Derry like we usually do

Ah jeez have some faith, what about the last 2 times we have been up. I think no pressure on us anyway heading up now that we are off and running after last nights result.

Against St. Pats we had 6 teenagers start the game. It was pretty much the same last night, and were still without argueabley our best players in Paddy Kavanagh, Dave Mulcahy, Derek Pender and Colm Tresson. I reckon we have by far the youngest squad in the premier division so they lads still have a lot to learn. I think i've taken great heart in this season is that teams are not turning us over like they have in previous years. In years gone by if we went 1 down in places like Sligo or Cork we would have caved in and concedded 3 or 4. There's a lot of fight and spirit in the team this year. Great credit should be given to Eddie Gormley and his backroom staff for being able to instill that in such a group of young players.

If we can keep them together for a couple of seasons and they keep progressing the way they are then we will be at the right end of the table in years to come.

We all know your predictions ala Cork to be league Champions last year, Sure we even finished above them , Bray fans would not worry to much actually probably means you will be in Europe.

They didn't beat us last year I think?

Your right, 3 draws in all, 0-0 and 1-1 away. Arguably, our best home peformance came against them last summer, ended 0-0 aswell but anyone who seen it knows that was one we could easily have won 3 or 4 nil if Boco had taken his chances better.

[the rock n roll]

We need Almeida back for set plays

Sligo Rovers 0 Bray Wanderers 1: Damn tasty pints in Mooneys, missed the two Rovers goals. Thank funk for MNS.

Fine performance, for the first 25 minutes in the second half that is the best spell of football we have played under Cookie. And Brushs save was worth the admission alone.

At half time most of the crowd were applauding the 2009 Sligo-Leitrim under 12 developoment League Champions - Ballisodare United and believe me in a few years time a few of those lads will be coming off the showgrounds pitch at half time intervals.
