    Drogheda United vs Sligo Rovers

    Everyone was saying before this game that "This is more important than Bohs, anything we get in that match is a bonus". Altough I agree, our result on teusday is a massive confidence boost for this game and hopefully the rest of the season. When you looking at team sheets, we look stronger, but after seeing ourselves in cup matches and on teusday, we proved we can be a match for anyone if we play at our best. Its a big blow to lose Boco for such a crucial game, but i'm confident we are still strong enough to win without him. The only problem is with Alan Keane likely to move to right back, do we play Camano or move Ventre to CB to partner Peers ?

    prediction: 2-0 Rovers, Cretaro and Doyle to score.
    Coleman for Ireland

    Many heading to this? Good atmosphere will really push the players on.

    Not too sure what too think here, even after winning on Tuesday. the player confidence should be on the up so hopefully they can capitalise on it. Going to say 2 1 Rovers.

    I'd move Danny back and bring in Richey Ryan

    Should be 100 or so but can't see much of an atmosphere, not many heading from Sligo and will be a lot older Dublin based fans I reckon.

    It's a tough call. Ventre and O'Grady were outstanding together against Bohs but Camano seems to be a liability judging from the Bray game.
    Also, Ryan needs to up his game big time now. He didn't add much when he came on the last day.
    Overall, I'd have to go for moving Danny back. Too important a game to chance the other fella imo.

    Would rather risk Camano rather than Ryan, we need O'Grady and Ventre in the middle and maybe Jim will do well alongside Peers.

    Could be right Rory. We're due a big game from Flanagan. Such hype!

    Can't argue there Rory, Flanagan is long overdue a runout for the 1st team.

    Camano mightened do too bad, I just wish he would become a "leader of the defence" like some say he was was against Bohs in the cup, but who knows, maybe a start alongside Peers might do him some good for him.

    ryan isnt a winger, thats why he might have found it tough on tuesday. we need to keep the ball, cant be giving away sloppy possesion, so ryan should start, keane right back, ventre centre half. wonder will cashy keep his place. id like to see him start again

    You need to get he ball first and he wouldn't put in a tackle against Bohs when he came on.
    Still possibly our best option. Cook will have to call if it goes wrong he'll land all the stick. The joys of being a football manager!

    Just had another thought on this.
    What about playing somebody else at RB. Can Keohane play there or Cash can do a job there surely?
    Leaves the solid central pairing of Keane and Peers intact and also the midfield pairing of Ventre and O'Grady.

    keohane is injured, and hes a left back. theres no one else. cash filled in there against bohs in dalymount when we had all the injuries etc. id say he'll go with camano and peers centre back with keane right back

    not sure if morrison's fully gone. if not he may come in but doubt he will if hes been in trouble

    7.Peers

    could happen, alot of pressure on him, with my team of gavin peers not helping the matter
    nearly did it against bohs too, when he slipped just as he was about to clear. he is human and will make mistakes.

    We have to win, no excuse.

    We'll draw though.

    i agree aswell, hopefully we can keep the spine of the team in place.
    I'd say that if you were to go through the team sheets from this season we havent played the same middle 4 in two consecutive games.

    I agree with Sligoman, we have to win this, no excuses! The Drogs won't be an easy team to beat especially at home but hopefully we can carry on from the Bohs result and take all 3 points. I'll be optimistic and go for a 2-1 win for Rovers although it probably has draw written all over it!
    The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

    Roy Keane is still a pri*k!
