If you know anyone who requires a radio receiver for Audio Descriptive Commentary tonight, could you let them know it is available. This was supposed to be an initiative between the Council, RNIB and Derry City but no-one seems to want to publicise it or take charge of it.

Surely the Club should mention it on their Socials? Ask Drive and Foyle to mention it in Sports bulletins.

Great to have Greengo on the announcements again tonight.

I presume & hope this is a permanent move?

Has made such a difference & injects a degree of freshness into the place with some decent music!

Excellent start.

That's exactly why we signed Gavin Whyte - he looks a lot sharper. Touche.

Great win after a battling win in Galway. Whyte excellent, Winchester top class. 3 points in Waterford would make for a brilliant 7 days.

I thought Todd had an excellent game.
A great team performance - the best this season.

But why o why did Whtye think he had to foul that player on the half way and get a needless yellow card.

Excellent win, every player put in a shift. If we played like we did in the first half every week we'd be a decent team.

Hopefully the same type of performance in Waterford. Well done lads.

Great performance tonight. Whyte, Thomas and Duffy excellent along with Mullan. Plenty of fluid play.

More of the same on Friday!

Great performance. Certainly eased off with the changes. Cant argue with the decision to take Benson and Whyte off. Important to have them available with Waterford, Shels and Pats coming up. The first half was the best performance so far under Lynch. Positive signs.

Excellent performance, but bear in mind the opposition.

Thought the team seemed to be enjoying themselves and confidence is improving. Winning does that.

Some players seem to be hitting a bit of fitness too. Thinking Whyte and Benson, both had good games.

Also think Todd deserves credit tonight, as he took the brunt of some fans anger earlier in the season. Looked solid tonight.

It was very similar to Boyces one v Drogheda. Completely needless and stupid.

Great win and everyone played well. Only downside that stupid yellow from Whyte! Great goal by him.
