Tough to drop a player when they need some confidence and thats usually by playing games but if Burke is showing better form then he has to be in. There'll be no unbeaten side this season but if Rovers do slip up in the derby and the gap could go to 5 points its is a bit of early pressure that wouldnt have been expected. But even if Bohs ends up a banana skin its just a tad early for some fans to be panicking. The benefits of playing sides 4 times keeps things in the mix and in own hands for most of the season.
The pitch in Sligo is getting plenty of attention but it really did prevent any quality breaking out last night and it could have been a good game I think. Will have been energy sapping. Perfect for a few Harps sides over the years but this year Ollie wouldny have been pleased ether. Nando looks a good find, knew how to keep Bradley quiet and forcing him on to his weaker side nearly all the time. Wasnt a pitch for bringing Ward on late but not sure there was another option with a more physical midfielder to bring on. Sligo only really started to press in the last 10 minutes so were the fitter side or better with the heavy pitch.
