Connor targets Derry scalp
Sligo Rovers manager Sean Connor has targeted a victory over Derry City at the Showgrounds tonight, although the Candystripes make the short journey to their north-west rivals in the knowledge that a win will see them take over at the top of the Premier Division table.
Derry climbed to second place in the top flight with a 3-0 win over Dublin City on Friday night.
With a superior goal difference to third-placed Drogheda – who also play this evening – and leaders Cork not in action until Tuesday, Derry will move to the top of the table, for 24 hours at least, with three points tonight.
But Sligo are also in good form, as evidenced by their 2-0 away win over Bohemians on Friday, and Sean Connor’s side have put together a seven-match unbeaten run in front of their home fans this season.
And Belfast native Connor is looking for a victory as vengeance for his team’s heaviest defeat of the campaign to date, a 3-1 reverse at the Brandywell back in March.
He told the Irish Sun: “Derry was the only spanking we’ve taken this year and my pride was hit by that. Also, as a Belfast boy, there’s always that rivalry with Derry and I’d love to get one over on them.”

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
'Derry was the only spanking we've taken this year'. Well that explains Belfield - it was obviously Athlone Town I was watching.
Sean Flannery is pushing for a starting place up frontas Sligo Rovers boss Sean Connor has a full squad to pick from.
'Derry are probably the form team in the league,' said Connor. 'They are strong in every department and gave us a good spanking earlier in the season.'
Ken Oman and striker Kevin McHugh (hamstring) are sidelined for Derry.
Though Clive Delaney made the bench for Friday's 3-0 defeat of Dublin City, Derry are likely to be unchanged with Mark McChrystal again set to partner skipper Peter Hutton in central defence.

Flannery wont be starting.He couldnt drop McT or Flash and Judge would be the next in line anyway.
with the sunshine tis morning i thought we were certs to win but clouds dont suit us......come on sunshine.
the sun shone and so did the team!!!!
great win for the rovers.some excellent performances.mct ran himself into the ground as usual but i thought conor o grady ran him close for man of the match.keith foy was very good again,probably our best player so far over the course of the season.thought flash was quiet first half but sharper in the second.and what a goal that would have been from hughesie from half way!just want to give a special mention to the derry fans.they were absolutely brilliant last night.they didn't stop singing from start to finish, even when they're team was 3-1 down.They showed us up. They are real football fans, not like our lot who sit in silence for 90mins.
We sit in awed silence.
PS. The Derry fans were fantastic but then they always have been the best fans coming to the Showgrounds - a bit like the Irish fans when they go to a foreign country
i have to agree. although i don't expect every1(ie. women&children) to be singin you'd expect that more than 20-30 of us would get into it. derry's fans are an absolute credit to the league
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
attendance??
Dont presume women and children wont sing. In the cross most women girls join in in the 'shed area' and the family enclosure have their own drums and make a hell of a lot of noise
