I’m not a fan of Baggley but he hasn’t the worst pair of feet. His biggest problems are his total lack of physicality and his poor passing. They are very important attributes for a midfielder unfortunately. A team with a Barry Baggley won’t win league titles.

McEleney still playing with Ballymena but he's been a coach with Derry all season

Ballymena are only part time so I'd imagine he's a training with Derry most days

He is, aye.
Ballymena manager Jim Ervin wasn't best pleased about it when it was announced, by all accounts. I get it, Fats could be getting off the team bus in Derry at three in the morning, then be up early to travel to Ballymena for a match. Not ideal.

He's on a part-time contract though, so can't really complain about him taking another job. Even if it's at another football club.
