2025 SQUAD

[Nige92]

Make no bones about it, these players are being signed to win now. Coming in on big wages on short deals. We're going for the league this year... Whether it works out remains to be seen.

[davybhoy]

Still think we are short at centre half. If TL plays two up front are we short a striker if Hoban goes or will Patton get a chance?

[IfYouTolerateThis]

There are photos on the Journal website of the first days training at Owenbeg and a few of them show Fats as a coach. Was that ever confirmed?

Edit: https://www.derrycityfc.net/staff-coaches/

He's a player co-ordinator

He isn't listed on the Ballymena Utd website as a player. Seems strange for neither club to comment on this as he is clearly back working at Derry.

Has the team been playing in a 3-5-2 in the games so far this pre season?

[Neutrino]

Hoban going nowhere according to TL.

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER.

Its a banter page & I use the word banter loosely. You'll find that at several points throughout the season the same page will refer to us as Londonderry or post something about us on the 12th July

Looks to me we are still light at centre half and right back. So hopefully another 2 to come in

Jake Davenport told he's free to leave.

Utter madness that he was signed in the first place, then given a 1.5 yr contract and then sat about watching from the sidelines as an unused sub.

I can only presume that deal was sanctioned by our last manager?

Hopefully, when Higgins returns to the game with his next project he'll snap up this exciting prospect.

Some brutal signings last season... harking back to the journey men era... left me scared.
