TL isn't wrong.

These next 2 home games are both must wins in my opinion. Anything less than 6pts will be bad.

Conolly lives on the edge every game, could've been sent off last week.

The supporters behind the goal got that over the line. Our general play is worse than last season. Big improvements needed.

[Marty]

I’m getting big time Roddy Collins vibes.

A strong second half performance sees Derry City claim all three points against Cork City. Tiarnan Lynch reacts to the game with Packie Cooke.

That odowd boy is right up there with one of the worst refs in the league. And that's some achievement

[marcoloco]

i find it all very frantic. Lots of running about and lots of lots of strong challenges but little by the way of actual quality. A few glimpes from certain players obviously but as a group not too much composure or ability to play it around and retain the ball. Bit like watch Sunday morning football at the minute. Maybe that's down to the pitch i don't know.

See that lad from cork got badly injured. Could be out for the season if its as bad as feared. hopefully not.

Interview with Michael Duffy.

[Keyser Soze]

Another player badly injured on the pitch. Of course it could happen on a grass pitch too, but the plastic needs to go asap. It affects our ability to play fast football, and it will affect our ability to attract players.

They should be banned, instead more teams are getting them in.

I Think the dip in form of Paul McMullen is stark,, he's not the same player when he first joined Dom Thomas shone when he came on. Surely deserves an extended run in the team.

Agree. Him and Duffy on the wings used to be great. Worth the entrance fee. Now he doesnt take anyone one, rarely goes past anyone and his distribution / final ball is often poor.

[Keyser Soze]

McMullan was poor for most of last season, and seems to have got worse.

Should not be a regular starter any more.

[brandyball]

Tim Clancy fears Keating could be out for the rest of the season.

[paul60]

What about the new announcer- a profession approach besides giving Duffy 2 goals.

[TenaciousDee]

His playlist had a lot to be desired.
