Derry game

[red arrow]

its 10.30 sunday morning and i'm still excited about what i saw last night. both teams have to be highly commended for a great game of football. i rate this game as one of the best i have ever seen at the old venue. of course boco should have scored but his workrate was phenominal. when he went between the two full backs at one stage in the second half (and they were within 3 ft of each other i thought it was wonderful play. if he can learn to be a bit more confident when he pulls the trigger he is going to be a great player. overall the team played excellent. the defence wre magnificent the midfield were the same only judgie seem to be off the pace. i'm not here to critisise players but it wuld be a real shame if we are to lose any more due to the financial state of the club because i do believe if we can hold onto what we have for next year we can do really well. doherty is getting his confidence back and has a lot to offer. the back four well what can we say the best we have had in a long long time. brush is a v. good keeper. we must do our utmost to hold onto cook and carr and the players. i believe the club are goint to run a syndicate so if so let everybody support it. it now seems to be reall y our only hope. we as supporters have the choice to either keep these players or not. if we make a huge effort we can do it. there was a scout at the match last night watching seamie but what i was told after the game he was hugely impressed with the standard of play and atmosphere and quality of players on show. i firmly believe that if boco can improve his finishing he will be a real asset to the club both as a player nad if we can hold onto him he will be worth a good few bob. i understand he is the top paid player at the club but i would see him more as an investment for the future. anybody know what is the duration of his contract?

Syndicate? Whats that about?

i understand he is the top paid player (Boco) at the club but i would see him more as an investment for the future. anybody know what is the duration of his contract?

I think he's on a two year contract signed at the start of the season.

Anyone else see Paul Hegarty at the game last night? Doing a bit of prep for upcoming games, no doubt.

An absolute cracking game.

Poor old Boco will have been dreaming of those misses last night. I think his problem was that on each occasion he just hit the ball as hard as he could and hoped for the best, instead of picking a spot and fininshing (easier said than done I know!). I think he felt really disappointed at the end of the game but he should be reminded that his work rate and pace really caused Derry problems and other players would not have created those chances.

I think all players deserve credit for their part in a great game.

Seen him there alright seemed in good humor leaving and having some banter with fans.

It was a fantastic match with Rovers at long last playing the type of football we all know they are capable of and they played it for almost the entire ninety minutes. Boco had undoubtedly a brilliant game and his work rate was incredible BUT he should have scored. A bit of composure was all that was needed as all those one-on-ones just required a low side-footed pass into the net - Yes I know that’s easy to say sitting in the stand but he blasted every effort straight at the 'keeper and at the right height for him to make the save, nevertheless he is without doubt a quality footballer.

The entire team played well and I can understand why Brush got MOTM but for me the outstanding player on the pitch was Peers. He did not put a foot wrong the entire match and saved us on a number of occasions especially late in the match when he headed the ball off the line, much to the astonishment of Stephen Kenny who was sure Derry had scored. He's already my player of the season.

Peers is absolute quality, the rock

[Rovers fan]

IMO peers is one of the most underrated players in the league.Apart from a shaky performance in the 3-2 win over shams this season,I can't remember him having a bad game under Paul Cook.Without doubt He's one of our best players and definitely the most consistent.

[Red4Eva]

have to agree about peersy. he's solid as a rock, works his balls off and leads by example. never has a bad game. he was my player of the season last year and i'm surprised there isn't more interest in him from the rich clubs. hopefully he'll be here for years to come

[sligofan4ever]

Peers is one of the best defenders in the league IMO. I cant recall seeing him play a bad game under Paul Cook.

[brianw82]

Was Peers not appointed captain this season? I seem to remember that being announced, yet it's usually O'Grady who leads the team out.

Why do you just read what others post and then repeat it exactly?

[Shedzer]

See that Peers was in the team of the week in todays indo

[Rovers1]

Why do you just read what others post and then repeat it exactly?

why do you always point those things out?

Some great football played by both teams on Saturday night, helped somewhat by the huge improvement of the playing surface. Credit to the new grounds staff. Players were able to get their heads up and pick out passes rather than worrying about the ball bobleing
