QuoteAnywhere from 5th down wouldn't surprise me, but I reckon most likely 7th or 8th and away from trouble if you're as ready for it as the impression given. Sligo should be reasonably happy with that in their first season up, anything more would be a bonus. Hoping is one thing but to actually 'expect' better might be a bit naiive after 6 or 7 seasons out of the top flight. Last two First Division champs have gone straight back in bottom spot with a few weeks to spare. I reckon Sligo will be a serious match for anyone at home but on the (long) road will be a different story.
Dublin will be a lot tougher than last time around but it would probably be an even better achievement for them to stay up than they did in coming straight back up - which was a brilliant one. For sure their manager wont be ousting most of their team and bringing in a load of has-been mercenaries half way through this time around.
