Rory Patterson will again not feature for ourselves on Friday night.
Sure there's no point playing last season's top goal scorer when you're not creating chances: http://www.londonderrysentinel.co.uk...gain-1-6017764
Mental comments from Roddy.
Get your money on another 0-0 and an attendance of under 800.

Jeepers. If you're not confident of creating a few chances against UCD then things are less than fantastic.

We must be due some kind of luck in a game other than bad. We have had Anthony Buttimer, Graham Kelly reffing in our last two games so does anyone have an opinion of Paul McLoughlin who I seem to recall having a nightmare of a game when we played Mons away from home a few years ago.

At least seven years since we had a 0-0.

Edit - maybe you're on to something though. Our last 0-0 was in the Brandywell in April 2012.

Huge game for both Longford and Galway. Cagey 0-0 or 1-0 written all over it

Falling out with Patterson could be Roddy's death knell at Derry.. Madness that he's not playing.

**Yossarian** · 24/04/2014, 3:49 PM

So Roddy wouldn't pay to watch Derry play. The team that he is sending out to play so negatively.
Is Patterson as poor outside of scoring as he says? I haven't seen enough of him to know but I think it's mental that a proven goalscorer is left out of the squad. How long more is Roddy going to last???

Not as poor as Roddy is saying. Can sometimes be a bit slow to get back and a bit huffy, but other times can be the busiest player on the field. Crazy to leave him out. He's easily one of the best finishers in the league.
And as for Roddy's "I wouldn't pay in" comments, I can only imagine what the board are thinking right now. I guessed an attendance of less than 800 earlier in the thread, I'd dare say ye can knock another couple of hundred off that now.

The article for those who haven't read it: Roddy Collins admits he wouldn't pay to watch Derry City.

Bound to be the first manager to go this season I'd say. Certainly has every appearance of dead man walking (job wise of course

)
