Live on loitv, Drive 105 and Radio Foyle.

Waterford have lost seven in a row so it's a great time to play them.

Ah Jesus, I wouldn't have put this in the post. You might be barred from starting match threads if this goes wrong tonight!

Reasons to be confident:
1) 3 best performances in the last 3 matches
2) Beaten the weaker teams in the league recently - Cork and Sligo
3) Waterford are a bit of disaster at the moment, lost 4-0 to Sligo

Reasons to be apprehensive:
1) Not convinced we're good at this stage, are we only beating weaker sides?
2) Travel - long distance can have an impact
3) Potential bounce from a team who weren't performing under a previous manager.

We're rightly favourites and we'd likely come away with a point at least but I'm not confident in this team just yet.

We are far from good but def getting better. We’ve now got a handful of stand out performers but there’s still little in the way of quality and ball retention.

Tougher tests to follow. Still expect a win tonight.

Match Night Live on Drive 105 tonight.

Our volunteers are heading south at their own expense (as I type) to bring you full match coverage. Pitchside at the RSC is Michael Kealey and Dermot Liddy. In Studio is Paul Doherty and The Countdown to Kick-Off (which was pre-recorded this week) features interviews with Tiarnan Lynch, Podge Amond, Sean Patton and Mick Neville.

Coverage starts at 7pm with kick-off at 7:45pm. We'd love your company tonight.

Same starting 11 as the previous two games.

Hope I haven't jinxed us, ha. Good to see the same line up as our previous two games.

We all know what comes next.

I’m no saint but could you use “Ah Paddy,….” as an intro to your reply and I hope paddy won’t be offended.

Shocking defending again, Maher AWOL.

Twice.

He's well off his usual standard this season.

Sitting back way too much . Inviting Waterford on to us.

This team can not defend

Fresh Legs Needed.

2 yellows in 2min.

Edit : make that 3 in 2min.

O'Reilly back from a 5 yellow suspension, inside 10min has another yellow in the bank.

We have a shocking discipline record this season.

Jackie on 2min......yellow card.
