Yeah they're not playing great at the moment, but neither is anyone else really. Everyone behind them is dropping points too.
I really think Drogs could hit a dippy patch that will see St Pats and Cork close the gap. What do others think? This title is far from over.

Drogs are stuttering, but so are Pat's and, to a lesser extent, Rovers.
Would take a monumental fook up to not win the title from here.

Every team goes through a blip at some stage in the season. Would be very surprised if the title didn't make it's way to Drogheda although hopefully the title will becpme a little more of a race than it is now.
Cork & Pats are doing their best to let Drogheda win, Cork dropping points to us at home and pats "mid season wobble", if it was earlier in the season maybe, but its Droghedas title to lose. I cant see them not winning it now. ( sorry about the double negative)
Thats how soccerbot see it finishing. Seriously think Drogs have enough in the tank to see them over the line. The next couple of weeks will give a better idea.Code:1 Drogheda United 33 68 2 St Patricks Athletic 33 56 3 Bohemians 33 56 4 Shamrock Rovers 33 55 5 Cork City 33 53 6 Derry City 33 51 7 Sligo Rovers 33 50 8 UCD 33 38 9 Galway United 33 29 10 Longford Town 33 29 11 Bray Wanderers 33 28 12 Waterford United 33 20
I can see Pats dropping points at Derry for definite. Pats have beaten Derry there already this season and the chance of a double for Pats there this season now is almost impossible. Pats also beat Derry at Richmond. Draw at best for Pats although Derry should win.
Drogs had a non win sequence of 6 matches at one stage this season in the league and Setanta. They are still 7 points clear which shows you how close the other teams all are.
Between Europe and the league Drogs are 5 without a win now while Galway are 4 without a loss. Galway have only won 1 match at home all season in league/cup, therefore the chances of making it two very slim. I think Drogs are sure to win, stastically speaking?
Therefore I think the gap between the teams will be bigger after the weekend. Derry are on course for a new home record for this season as they have not won 3 games in a row at home all season. I will go for a draw there.
PS: Drogs 10/11 with Paddypower
Derry St Pats Draw 11/5 Paddypower

I think we'll get a bit closer than that and finish second. We're 11 points now and I can't see us giving up a lot of ground the way we've been playing recently. Add four points to our total there is my prediction. Drogs have it won unless they fall apart completely.

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Has this years league been a bit mneh. or is it just cos I miss Shels up there?

I think the answer is in the question.Originally Posted by Gareth
Its been poor. If we'd been a bit more consistant and beaten Drogheda when we had the upper hand the last two times, it'd be far more interesting.

And if Robertson had been in charge since the start of the season....
and if and if and if.
The big league has missed Shels and all the players who we loved to hate IMO.
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
If Drogs fail to pick up 3 points in Terryland Park on Friday, then the hatchet men in the media will have a field day.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
Drogs will walk it. Cork and Pats are in even worse form than them.

In fairness I think its been a poor league too - none of the teams this season are anywhere near as good shels were over the last couple of years imo
As for who'll win it? I'm not as confident as i was a couple of weeks ago- footballs a funny old game, but nobody can argue its ours to throw away and its our own fault if we dont win it!
Loking optimistically though, no matter what happens - craptown will be staying down - again - for their 7th consecutive season

He'd have been sacked by now

I think the teams behind Drogheda are so poor this year it's hard to see them slipping up now. The title race has grabbed the attention of the nation like it has in other years. But I reckon next week be a much strong league. Can any Drogs fans clear up whats going on behind the scenes? Is it true that you're losing money every week from the gate & is it true you might have to move to Dalymount next season cause you won't be giving a licence for United Park?
Unlikely Drogs will loss it from here but not impossible.
If any of the teams directly behind them were to win 3 or 4 games on the bounce over the next 6 games and Drogheda were to draw 2 games in the same run the title would be alive right to the end.
