    Derry purring along nicely now. I think they’ll push Rovers. Especially if they win their games in hand.

    Rovers gone off the boil a little since they were beaten in the Dublin Derby.

    Did anyone notice the ref doing the keeper countdown last night? Didn't notice it once in the Brandywell.

    On last night, wasn't the worst 0-0 Pats have had this season (many to choose from) but anything other than a win at the moment is a poor result given the current run.

    You can see the lack of confidence radiating throughout the team game-by-game. We're often having good spells but failing to capatalise on them through poor decision making in the final third, either down to a dearth of quality or confidence, or both. Didn't help that Power appeared to be onside for his disallowed goal, but these decisions happen.

    That was an enjoyable game tonight. Some decent goals, plenty of physicality. The ref, Paul McLaughlin, helped let it flow.
    Even less confident now that we've to go there next week.

    Jack Byrne diving at the end was poor, glad to see it caught out. I presume certain fans will be equally as condemnatory tonight as they were after Patrick McEleney last year in the Brandywell.

    It was done once in the Brandywell. You weren't paying attention 😉

    Agree very good game and great come back by us …. Although Sligo missed a sitter laid on by Grace late on …. Sligo looked very good and one could easily see why they’re on a decent run.

    PS Jack B tried to put into action that diving lesson he received last season in the Brandy but failed

    Great finish by Brennan to earn the draw though, which was the least we deserved. Bit surprised he hasn't been more involved this season
    Wouldnt disagree with that , Treaty on top early on but most of possession going nowhere but backwards and sideways given the way midfielders like Lynch was passing the ball,Devitt took the goal well off the setpiece ,thought the sending off harsh from where i sat. After that Brennan in midfield ran the show and Ucd certainly deserved their goal.We will probably scrape into playoffs , not that Tommy Barrett will be bothered as he has previously said we have no business going up.

    Jack Byrne seem to be giving out to the ref at full-time in the Sligo game. Did he really believe his dive was that good? Looking at the table, Shamrocks goal difference much better than Derry, so you would still have them as big favorites for the title.

    I had this in my head long before tonight but after watching that Sligo game I think Cork are screwed. I know Sligo blew a 2-0 lead but I still saw enough out of them that I think they'll pick up points against teams that Cork won't. They just have a lot of players who have played this league before and have enough quality in them, and they play like they really want it too. Cork are taking chances on lads the same way Dundalk were last season, and we know how that went. They don't look like they've the same fight Sligo have

    I even think Sligo could catch Waterford if that game in Derry is a sign of things to come, they're absolutely not safe yet

How has Eoin Kenny done overall this season? Goals wise it doesn’t look great but I know that doesn’t always tell the story so would be interested to hear. I was impressed any time I saw him play last season and would’ve thought he’d hit 10-15 goals in the FD

    Kenny needs to work on his game in my view, his first touch and his weaker foot, but as said last night he was very good, worked really hard, he needs to back this up. Still only 19 mind.
    Nice goal on Friday will definitely boost his confidence and maybe turning point of his season .
    Our of position on the wing and Imo that's not his natural poz but he's a good player and adds a lot to the side,(i.e -you'd miss him if he f'dk off) and still raw talent for his age
