Dummigan was the player I was most disappointed left us for Derry, Duffy it was kind of a given that it would happen at some point, Patching had some of his best spells on loan and with the upheaval at Oriel it wasnt a surprise he opted for Derry, McEleney's injury record meant he would have been a luxury player when trimming a squad and budget. Dummigan's versatility and reliability is something you'd want to keep in any squad. He was/is underrated in his lowkey Denis Irwin like manner. So yeah would be missed more than most.
Yup Sligo's 'blip' last season was also bad but somehow didnt register as much as Derry this season with me, maybe more was expected of Derry before the season started and seemed to be backing it up, or ye just forget about the west-northwest. In my own defence it was bad enough just trying to keep up with the Dundalk FC circus last year!
