Never an easy game away to Drogs, and no doubt it'll be similar tomorrow.
But I think we have been playing well the last few weeks and will sneak the 3pts in this one.
It's a must win.

Draogs are a tough team to beat and I really like them as a club. I hope they stay up but not at our expense.
We're playing with a bit more urgency in recent weeks beating pats, shels and drawing with Rovers.
Let's hope for more of the same against one of our bogey teams.

Needs to play Hoban from start.

We need to create a bit more that's for sure.
We'll play the usual way with 1 up top unless we're behind with time running out.

It would depend on the Shels and Rovers results. A draw wouldn't be great but it wouldn't be the end of the world. Would leave little room for error though.
I don't think this will be easy or enjoyable at all but I feel we've started to click and performances have improved. I'll back us to keep it going.

Well if it was that simple he should have said that from the start of the year!

If so he'll be really missed. He's a dynamo covering every blade of grass. Even though he often risks getting booked.

Patching will be missed as well ...he's always dangerous in that ground .. 2 up top and 2 wingers positive.

Don't think Patching will be missed as much as O'Reilly especially with Fats back. I Ithought that Patching needed rested as our set pieces left a lot to be desired recently.

Check out Pats corner today, depressing to see a well worked corner compared to whatever we are trying.
