The creativity i hope will come from Kenny and Burns with Gaffney causing havoc. With Pico back you would be hoping our defence will start looking more reassured. Usually never to optimistic coming up here but big wins in previous matches can sometimes backfire on teams the next game.

Ireland, England, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, New Zealand, Cape Verde. Eight nationalities between the two squads in Sligo tonight. Is this a record?
Athlone had 8 different nationalities in their squad alone last night….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Also Wales.
Fairly comfortable night at the Brandy yesterday for the home side.
Should have been a goal up when Kelly went clean through, but didn't hit the target.
Not sure if Hoban was really the goalscorer for the first, could have been an OG. He claimed the match ball anyway. Does the League officially award goals?
Some finish for his second, overhead kick just on the stroke of HT and that pretty much killed the game. Deserved penalty given, and after that went in, it felt like both teams were just going through the motions.
Not too impressed with Waterford, had expected more off them, especially on the back of beating Pat's.
Decent enough crowd up from Waterford. Chatting to a few out the town after, and despite the defeat they were pretty happy with the progress made so far.
On away allocation, it appears to be the case that if the away team in the Brandywell has under 75 fans, they go in the Southend stand. If it's more, they'll get the terrace.
How was the keeper sent off??
Not sent off
They should win the First Division. They have the biggest budget and are the only full time team. 0-2 win away to Longford tonight.
A hard earned point in sligo. Would have taken it before kick off. Either we get some of the injured players ba k soon or we will be to far behind. Bang average rest of team. Hoooban stays fit I think derry win the league as even when the rovers injured players come back based on last couple of seasons they will be iut again fairly soon. I hate being so negative but derry won't **** it away this year....we need to get lucky
It does seem very familiar to last season but Derry are a different animal this year. The Hoban factor means that if Rovers slip up they are better placed to take advantage of that.
Idiot thinking by SOD 'you won't be starting every game in 2024'.....................no wonder he wanted away. Nice one Stephen, the guy can easily score at top level for 3 more years.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
If the starts made by Waterford, Galway and Sligo are a good indication for the rest of the season, Drogheda could be in for a difficult season. If Bohemians and Dundalk, who both went into the final day of last season challenging 4th, have dropped back, they could be in the fight to avoid the playoff.
Looks like one of the worst decisions a club has made for a while….I’ve no idea what the thought process was in thinking I’ll keep the fella with 6 goals in Scotland’s 4th division and get rid of one of the most prolific strikers the league has ever had,madness……

Can't understand that one. I presume the ref has decided it wasn't a goalscoring chance as there were covering defenders. But the keeper surely can't come out of his box to floor someone like that. I'm sure he'll say he was going for the ball, but that's not really relevant
The second home game were the officials have bottled decisions that have resulted in dropped points for Sligo Rovers. If it evens out over a season we are already due a few.
Sligo will be ok this season if tonight is anything to go by. I get with Rovers the comparison to last yr but Derry a different proposition with Hoban. We need to start winning games
Only caught the highlights but going off of them Rovers seemed to get away with one tonight. The injuries to such quality players would make it tough for any team though regardless of how strong the squad is.
Sligo were impossible to call prior to the season but I didn't have high hopes for them due to the general negative vibe around them and the largely unknown/injury prone signings. They seem to have settled right in though and look a good side, though there must be an element of frustration that they've only one win considering more have probably been deserved.
Red all day for pohls, wtf?
Power. Is one of those shamrock tampons too so he’ll go missing for a while now I’d say.
Mad start to the league, could be a crazy season.
