I think he was disappointed and probably reaching a bit but as a biased observer myself if one team was going to win it in the second half it was Rovers.....I'm sure some of the Cork lads would disagree but a factor in how "bad" the Cork fellas keep saying Cork were was how they were allowed/not allowed to play.
no points from the 3 one goal losses against Cork, Derry and Dundalk is a poor reward but that's how it go's sometimes.
We will probably pick up a few points at some stage this season that we don't deserve.

Hard to say. We've looked great in some games and shocking in others, as have dundalk. I'd say a draw is probably a good bet but I have to admit a bit of terror at the thought of McEleheny running at our centre backs. No confidence in that position right now.
I think Rovers could have been there another hour without scoring. Bar the one attempt off the cross bar, ye offered nothing in terms of attacking threat. Don't get me wrong, neither did we, but with a player like Maguire there was always a chance he'd come up with something.
I'd be one of those disagreeing here. We couldn't string two passes together, with no pressure at all from Rovers. We were shocking start to finish. Rovers pressured well, in midfield in particular, but we were shocking in general, even down to our movement compared to previous weeks. Ye're full backs did well on Dooley and Beattie, but neither was on form at all.
All fair enough but margins are tight, if burkes shot had gone in instead of off the bar we probably would have closed it out.
Either way its a huge improvement on 0-5 so im optimistic for the rest of the season.
Looking forward to watching the match on Saturday.
