If we take the last ten games

Cork City: 23 points

Derry City: 24 points

Shelbourne: 20 points

On top of Maribors' stats, the fact that we are still in contention for all 3 trophies, would give you the indication that we are 'In Form'.

And it certainly dispells 'myposts' theory that Derry are 'Struggling'.

As I've said previously, I hope we struggle like this 'till the end of the season

i did laugh out loud when i read you were struggling. its been a terrible season for the poor nordies!!

but i do think derry should concentrate on the league. you dont have the squad for a three pronged attack on the trophies. starting saturday you should play kids and reserve players in the cups!!!

see yiz saturday to discuss it further over a foaming ale!!

If we take the last 6 games

Derry City: 12/18 points

You've only won 3 of them. If you had taken those extra six points or even four, you would be in a very strong position. Dropping points to the likes of Bray, Drogheda, and Pats is going to end up costing you the league, in my opinion.

I disagree about not having the squad. For the first time this season Gareth MCGlynn has been playing reularly and scored 3 in 2. IMO we have two sets of midfielders both of equal quality. I am starting to gather confidence and I think we will take 2 of the 3 trophies on offer, starting tonight!

And I'm sure you'd get a different result if you took the last 11 or 13 or 18 games.

My point is that calling a team "in form" means very little and usually is just used to pad out an article.

I'm not saying that Derry aren't "in form", if you like the title that much
