#Morrissey Please please let me get what I want

@BitORedPod Had we held on, few would say it was undeserving. Football is cruel though. Daire goes from MOTM 1st half, to harsh red card. Had the ref blown for a foul on O'Donnell, Shams 2nd wouldn't have happened.
Ifs, buts, maybes.
I still think we'll climb safe.

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@BitORedPod We seem to know only 1 way of defending a lead, sit back & put bodies on the line. Hard to do with no outlet. How about leaving a man up at corners, relieve the pressure of constant attacks? Delighted for Daire, hopefully the first of many. Good 2 see lads returning from injury

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@Morrissey_is_OK Yep, tickets got.....

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@BitORedPod Beaten by a good Bohs, who played good ball. We offered them too much space and time. Our squad is too depleted. Only positive I can think of, is, if offered 2 points from the Shams/Bohs games, we would have taken it. We got 3. The teams above us haven't got away from us either

@Denisc1962Denis Yeah some are silly money now. I sporadically stopped buying his vinyl for CD's, regret it now. I'm missing some. Funnily enough I have Beethoven.

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@BitORedPod Spent the 1st half cursing Russell for not playing McHugh. He proved me right, an undervalued player. Super win, a real tonic for last weekend. Credit to Traore too for his part in the winner. Do we give him another chance at starting a match?

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@BitORedPod Only Sligo Rovers could let 3 ex players score in one game. Surely some sort of record.
We didn't cope with their physicality. We had some periods of possession but our attempts at crossing were abysmal. Last 2 goals were shambolic. Tough one to take.

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@BitORedPod Great point won by resolute defending and Super Sam in goal. However, our passing was poor, front three offered nothing and we looked unbalanced, particularly on the left hand side. That disallowed goal though ???????????????

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@BitORedPod Slow start. Both teams playing 352, but Pats playing it better. Our change to back 4 got us back in the game.
Deserved the point. Another gutsy display & decent football played. Ollie at unfamiliar RB was great. Feeling optimistic for rest of season, but need injured players back

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@_Mac_lfc 👏

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@FabrizioRomano Wasn't MJ sacked from West Ham......for some reason ?

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@BitORedPod 352 really working for us with a few players benefiting . Need a fully fit squad to prevent putting square pegs into round holes.

Could have had the game won in 1st half, but defending in latter stages was superb.

A well earned three points is more satisfying than an easy win.

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@billybragg @Squeezeofficial Any chance of an Irish date?

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@SligoRoversAcad Is there anywhere where we can see the full squads for all the academy teams?

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@Morrissey_is_OK Nice one. Fame, fame fatal fame 😁

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@JohnMcDwyer1 @sligorovers Less prayers said in the top one

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@goconnor1 Super work done Gerry. Look back with pride.

[derek sweeney @showgies]

@footballontnt That well known measure 🙄

[derek sweeney @showgies]

On nights like tonight, there really is no better place to be than the Showgrounds. Everyone playing their part. #bitored
