Pats might be titel favourites after the weekend, they are certainly the in form team.

Which side has won most points since Daly took over?

Rovers are very streaky but I'd disregard Oriel as I thought the pitch made the game a lottery. I have no idea what to expect at Drogheda though, a real bogey team. Probably lots of possession but will concede a stupid goal in transition. Seems to happen very regularly and throughout Bradley's tenure not just this season. For a team with such experienced defenders we make lots of dumb defensive mistakes too.

Pats have 25 ,Rovers have 22 in 11 games if I’ve counted right…..

**Stuttgart88** · 07/07/2023, 11:33 AM

So Pats really are in this race you'd think...

**Jd2793** · 07/07/2023, 11:48 AM

pats are bang in this race. euro hangovers will decide how far pats/derry can push rovers.

**Jack B** · 07/07/2023, 11:56 AM

Calm down everyone. We'd still be happy with top 3 and making a fist of Europe/the cup.

Bang about Sligo. They've lost, then won, so they're due a draw? Hard to know really, but Derry should have Patching, Fats, and Duffy, along with our two new signings. It'll at least make the bench look at bit healthier; it's been a lot of younger lads the past few weeks. Do reckon it'll be a draw though.

I don't miss him but I do ?.
Expect to lose tonight, we have been so poor in what is the worst league in years. No excuses, it's just not good enough. Full time squad away to part timers.

Makes a change for us to score in the opening minutes of a match!

The pixelot camera is being used for the LOITV coverage. The opening goal wasn't caught on camera! 1-1 now.

**legendz** · 07/07/2023, 7:22 PM

1-2 to Treaty. The pixelot camera has missed a second goal.

**Calcio Jack** · 07/07/2023, 7:32 PM

Insipid stuff again from Rovers…. Drogs not up to much but well organised…. Expect usual script that they’ll score one and we’ll huff and puff and lose

Rovers fans are hilarious sometimes. Yours starting eleven still probably has the most experience across the league tonight.

They may have but they are playing crap

Andy Boyle has a lot of experience but I wouldn't want him in my teams starting 11.

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2023, 8:25 PM

In fairness, a team with Gaffney, Watts, Burke, Lopes, Cleary, Hoare plus a couple of players from what's supposed to be the LoI's strongest academy can't be that weak, especially when up against a part-time side. And Finn and Greene on as subs now.

I've never felt Bradley was getting the best out that Rovers squad tbh

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2023, 8:33 PM

In other news, when you deserve to lose 4-0 at home to Shels, you know things are pretty bad

You may not but Bradly would have him as first name on the team sheet if it was possible - just to spite fans. (for the record I dont think he is a massive loss to Dundalk with his injury).
