v Pats 23/5/08 (1-2)

Well, feelings on this one?

I reckon we're gonna win, I just see us as unbeatable at home at the moment and they've been shaking in recent weeks.

A win on Friday, and we could be sitting very pretty!

do Pats have any suspensions? think we have Butler back. not sure about a win, but can see us getting a point if Fahey and Quigley are kept quiet.

Butler in for Ventre is the only change I would make from Saturdays win over Bray.

Didn't see much sign of shaking on Pats at Drogheda. A point would be a good result.

I can see us getting 1 point out of this also reckon there will be a decent crowd. I wouldnt rule out a win but it would be a tight 1 for bit o red if they do St.Pats will be hard beaten lets hope if we take a lead we dont drop our guard later in the match

Only for some poor finishing on Drogheda,s part the game would have! and should have been over at half time.But on saying that in fairness to pats they kept pluging away and got a draw.I will go for a 2-1 win to rovers

just hope if we go 1 up we dont sit back on the lead as we did away to pats
so please please please paul and gerry attack

To take anything from this game would be a great result. We are capable of it, but it's going to be extremely tough. Predicition 1-1, although deep down, I think we won't get anything from the game

Pats are still struggling with injuries at the back

Yep, we effectively have a full back four out. Lynch, O'Cearuill, Partridge and Frost.

Harris is only back after injury too and looked a couple of yards off the pace in Drogheda.

It will be interesting to see if Cookie drops Danny from the team if he plays Conor and Anto in midfield.

Is Butler due to return for his suspention for this game?

What's being done around Sligo in terms of promoting this one?
Biggest game of the season for us so far, also the League's two top-scoring sides, in the ground that's seen the most goals - surely we should get our biggest crowd of the season?

They still had the Bray signs up the other day,havent seen much around the town or county

I think it'll be very tight, but we could snatch it.

If we keep a VERY close eye on Fahey and manmark him well , I can't see where Pats will get a creative spark from.

My prediction, 1-0 Rovers. Judgey with the goal

Driving into Sligo tonight, sign at Collooney roundabout for Pats at at top of Carraroe hill for Bray. Is this to confuse Pats when they come tomorrow?

And to confuse them even more, the word Wanderers is spelt incorrectly

saw the same this morning.also saw a poster around the town for the shamrock rovers game which was a while ago now. great to see there is promotion of games but it's a tough job to keep them updated

Pats fans saying Lynch is fit,all ive seen of him hes s***e

Lynch , Brennan , Harris [c] , D.Byrne

not a particularly strong back 4 so faz, judge and boco will cause em plenty of problems as long as we don't hoof it onto harris' head. ventre will be up against guy who's is 1 of pat's worst players so we should be ok there

Can anyone remember the last time it rained in the Showgrounds at a 1st team game?
