Sligo Rovers v Dublin City predictions, etc

**Rory H** · 25/09/2005, 11:47 AM

cork is over now...this is the most important game this season

and so begins endgame

i think,5 points clear,game in hand...no doubt the pressure is on them....i dont think our confidence should be low,we did well in the last game and it should help us step up a gear...victory in this game and well....

it would be close...but this will not be easy...they are second for a reason and i dont think they will roll over like kilkenny,they know what they have to do and they are the only team in this division we have beaten this season

we have to attack them from the start,theres a decison to make up front,alvarez or brown....i think he will go for brown.

if there isnt a big crowd too it will be a huge disappointment...advertise it rovers!!

prediction...2-2..

This is our biggest game of the season so far if we beat Home Farm we can go 8 points clear with a game in hand. I'd say a 2-0 win for Rovers we should get a crowd of 2,000 at this game and make it very intimidating for the Jackeens

I'm not trying to antagonise you lot but you were very confident before the last match with Dublin City and you lost. What makes you so confident you can do it again??

I'm not trying to annoy you, it's just an honest question!!

Piece of p!ss....2-0.Dublin need to win but cant afford to lose either.kind of catch 22 situation.Go all out for a win and lose=Rovers promoted Play it cagey and get a draw=Rovers promoted.

**shedhead** · 25/09/2005, 2:28 PM

I think a draw, 1-1

**sligoman** · 25/09/2005, 2:48 PM

I'm actually not that worried about this game at all, going for a 2-0 for us. Hopefully we can get a good crowd and a decent atmosphere for this, our biggest game of the season

**Red4Eva** · 25/09/2005, 3:18 PM

i think kilkenny are better than CHF so i'd expect us to win. i'd love a nice 4-0 after bein robbed of 3points twice this season. 2-0 brown&faz

**roversforever** · 25/09/2005, 7:46 PM

pressure is all on dublin.if we beat them its league over.a draw would do fine but i actually think we'll win this game comfortably enough.dublin are a poor side and certainly nowhere near as good as the rovers.im saying 2-0 rovers and faz to score at last.

**gustavo** · 25/09/2005, 7:57 PM

2 0 rovers low and o grady

This is a massive game for Dublin City/ Bellgrove. If they lose this game, we go 8 points clear with a game in hand. They simply have to win, even to guarantee a play off place.
On the other hand, we have been unlucky not to take all the points from them, on the two drawn games. We are on a good run and I don’t see us giving them anything on Saturday night. It will not be a game for the faint hearted.
I’d say with the large crowd behind Rovers we will come away with a win. I suppose Rocky will bring down the usual half dozen supporters with him.
Lets give Keely & co a real warm welcome.

2-0 Rovers.
