If we had of beat rovers on Friday I think we'd have had a big crowd down. Just don't see it now. We need to win just so we keep ahead of Pat's.

Sligo have been generally poor for most of the season, we really should be winning this.

We'll still take around 400 down there

Good crowd hopefully down ,that old pitch in Sligo doesn't suit DC the way they like to play but it is what it is so hopefully we will come up the road sit 3 points.RAWA.

No margin for error. 3 points a must.

Hopefully we'll find it easier getting bodies into the box for this one. Fancy a comfortable 2 goal margin.

Pats home to Dundalk (who actually are in horrible form).

Far too slow coming out from the back in the first half. Hopefully attacking towards our support in the second half will lift us.

When you have Danny mullan leading the line an bring on the prolific Cain kavanagh you have to wonder how you don’t score many.. absolutely shocking performance

We start all our games now without a recognised striker and then wonder why we can’t score. Predictable team selection yields a predictable outcome. Season can’t end quick enough for me. Manager needs to find a proper striker.

Typical Derry performance at Sligo. League well and truly over. With Rovers drawing we would've only be 2 points behind.

Don't care what anyone says we should be doing better with the budget we have. That league was there to be won as Rovers have been nowhere near the team they were in previous seasons.

Looks like Ruadhri has taken us as far as he can.

Hopeless, rovers drawing with ucd as well. :lol:
Need a clear out and some good players who have some mental strength. Too many passengers. Do Barnsley still want Higgins? :roll:

Another bad performance.
Looks like we are heading for 3rd spot now.

Season ending like last years, very disappointingly.

Front line terrible, and has cost us this season. Simply not enough goals.

And this was the weakest standard of league for a long time, it was a great opportunity to get a league title, considering the money being pumped into the squad.

Big questions need to be asked now of the manager, and of some big name players in the team who aren't delivering.
