Playing without an out and out 9 is partly down to the squad from the looks of it. Piszcech is only back to fitness there recently, Grieve started but wouldn't consider him an out and out 9 and I think he would thrive being beside an out and out 9. That is the entirety of Bohs striking department. It's one of many glaring holes in the current Bohs squad which is being covered by playing midfielders out of position. If anyone needs a list Bohs need at least 1 LB, 2 wingers and a striker. Honestly the squad building this year has a been a disaster. I don't know that sacking Reynolds fixes any of the issues with the squad in fact it may put us back to square one as another manager may view the squad needs completely differently or worse come in and see "good LOI players" like Flores going out of contract and re-sign them when they shouldn't ever play in Bohs colours again.
It’s hard to see anything but a Drogheda win here.
Fantastic crowd from Wexford. They look to have a bit about them on the pitch. Slightly better in the opening 20min.
Not a lot of quality in the game so far , hopefully it improves as the game goes on.
That's a great goal by Wexford.
Anybody who thinks the overall standard in LOI is not improving has rocks for Brains
Can't imagine a First Division team working a goal like that 10 or 5 years ago.
Well (a) you didn't mention anything about semi-finals and (b) you should recall UCD playing some decent football when giving Dundalk one heck of a game in the 2018 semi-final. That was a Dundalk side who won the Premier with what was a record points tally (or very close to it), which obviously Drogheda aren't doing.
Shels look value currently on offer on Betfair @ 6.4 with a small overround so you can can that Ching and a half recent bad form notwithstanding they are 5 clear of Shamrock with equal games played.
Congrats Drogheda in the end - into the Cup final on the same weekend as the playoff final they're heavy favourites to be involved in
Bright start for Rovers. Momentum is shifting towards them.
Wouldn’t rule out Shels getting an equaliser here.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
It's amazing they've led the league so long and are still leading the league, but there has to be a genuine chance they don't get Europe, even if Derry win the Cup
Best 90 mins this season by miles from us ( what a difference finally having almost everyone back and match fit).
Special mention for Jack Byrne , Sean Hoare and ( again ) Pohls and also for Coyle who is a thug masquerading as a footballer.
Derry have to be favourites now
