Saturday night 7:45pm KO.

Live on LOITV, BBC Radio Foyle and Drive 105.

Crucial couple of games coming up with away match with Bohs the following week. Let's keep our good run going.

Away to Sligo, Harps & Bohs. Could be all duck or no dinner! Anything more than 2 draws in the league games and it will be all to play for. Even with 2 draws there will still be 30 points up for grabs.

The future is bright. RAWA.

If we take the 1 game at a time mantra then we deserve credit to be even thinking about catching Bohs or Sligo. A win would give the players incredible belief and Sligo will be looking over their shoulder at us. Would be very happy with a point and delighted with 3 points.

If we have aspirations of catching Sligo then I think it's a must not lose game.

With Junior availabile again it'll be interesting to see who plays up front. Jamie, Junior and Aki could all start, it'd be quite an attacking line up but if he goes with the 2 up top I'd like to see Jamie/Aki start.

Hery must be pushing for a start.

Is it possible to buy single match coverage on LOI ?

Yes. Costs £5 a game I think.

You are absolutely right £5 per match.

Got it thanks.
Harps Owolabi hat-trick tonight!! 5 points behind us now.

And Dundalk lost again too which gives us a bit of breathing space over them. Looking like Pats title challenge has faltered which is a shame for the neutrals.

Another 6 pointer. With Sligo having last their last 6 games in all competitions , hopefully we can capitalise on their poor run of form, to narrow the gap..

Great to see teams taking points off teams above them. Proves nothing is a guaranteed and keeps it interesting for everyone. 3 points would open up a chase for 3rd/4th without a doubt. I think Sligo will turn up for this one though. Wont be easy.

No doubt Sligo will be up for it, hopefully we can keep up the momentum and grab 3 points.

Missing McJannett and Akintunde tonight.

My guess is that Boyce will move to RCB and Malone will play RWB. They looked comfortable there against Drogheda but I suspect tonight will be a tougher challenge.

Akintunde's energy and work rate up front a miss. Ferry not on the bench either.

Maybe Junior will have a point to prove.

Or Joe Thompson

Had a good first 15 minutes. Been poor since and the amount of times we've lost possession by hoofing it up the field is infuriating.

1-1. Been awful since we scored

That's a really poor performance! Everything is going long and nothing is sticking. Hard to watch. Midfield getting overrun. McLaughlin struggling.

Why and how is McLaughlin in ahead of Hery?

Hery won't get match fitness playing 20 minutes every game. Time for him to start and dictate games.
