3pm KO this Sunday. Both teams coming off the back of consecutive defeats will look to pull the nose up.

We need a win (said that the last two matches as well) and Dundalk aren't playing well. Depends on the tactics and team Higgins puts out- I would start the two Kavanagh's as we need something different than what we've had the past month.

Any word on fats?

With Bohs losing and Rovers drawing we win on Sunday and we go 2nd again.

All you can do at this stage is laugh. Dundalk are awful but same old predictable derry.

Plastic Pitches Eh?

When does the cup start!

[marcoloco]

If only we could play on grass we'd be top of the league

[brandyball]

They had 1 job to do.

Easily the worst Dundalk team in a decade or more.

Draw was probably a fair result. Their substitutions in the 2nd half brought them to life.

Too many draws. Simply not clinical enough when in control of games.

On a plus point, good to see Duffy back. And with Whelan also not far away, hopefully we will see a change in our fortunes.

And a change of tactics.

The reality is we are nowhere near good enough at the minute as that Dundalk team are more than beatable. Connolly, Duffy and Dummigan will certainly strengthen us but the two main problems I see is McGonigle has offered nothing since signing his new contract last year and we are missing a top attacking central midfielder.

Edit- the third issue as pointed out by Brandyball is the managers tactics
