    He's done fine except for one big mishap in Dundalk

    Hard to judge him yet. It's very much depending on which Rovers fan you listen to so far.

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Allegedly Barry Murphy was stitched up, as opposed to it being fair competition.

    Mannus ,strange one this and something is not quite right.Murphy lost his place to Mannus without having any dip in form, in fact up untill he was dropped he would have been recognised as being up there with his name sake at Bohs as one of the best keepers and is without doubt one of the best shot stoppers we have ever had.The manager seemed to think that Baz was too short in height to command a presence in the box at set pieces and wanted a bigger more dominant figure so Mannus was brought in and Baz was sidelined.The thing is Mannus is no more dominent around the box on what Ive seen and lacks Murphys shot stopping ability.
    Tonight I expected Baz to be given a shout as there was nothing for us in the game except to celebrate our Euro qualification with the squad, but again Mannus played and for the third game in a row was found wanting at that crucial moment .Im not anti Mannus but Murphy has been poorly treated by the manager and Mannus still has a lot to prove.
