Surely they are at an advantage on the pitch?

I'm convinced oriel was worth 10 points a season to Dundalk during their good years.

Their away record was better last season than their home record (Dropped 4 more points at home)

Same this season, they haven't lost away and have lost 3 times at home already

Would say Higgins tactics/approach are a bigger point loser than the pitch.

If possible, Oriel is probably in worse condition now.

On a side note to this, I see Larne's synthetic pitch failed UEFA testing and they have to nominate another ground. Rumoured that the over use of the pitch contributed to it failing.

Bad performance tonight bar the first 10mins. Silly mistake and Gaffney took full advantage. We never looked like breaking them down and fair play Rovers defended v well. I know we're missing a few of our better players through injury but badly need a striker too. Maybe the Seanie Maguire rumours are true

Slow again tonight, serious lack of creativity and pace up top. Only a wonder stike got us back in it. 1-1 about right. Shels are awful to play.

Nothing to do with Shels. Derry are like that every match. Higgins an awful coach who got lucky last season. Poor league overall. Rovers coasting in 2nd gear.

Are there any plans to upgrade the stadium? It's fairly outdated. Something behind the goals is needed.

Ah I know they had an upgrade but more needs to be done. Would look much better. Even small terraces behind the goal.

Planning permission in for a standing terrace at brandywell road end(next to away fans). On a football note. Barnsley in for Higgins . Wont be many sorry to see him go despite last years cup win. Puke football is an understatement.

Im a little surprised at the Barnsley link. He has hardly set the world on fire with Derry. Where has that come out of?

You and me both. Lot of chat locally about it. Could be an agent thing. You are lucky to have ruari, he’s in demand!

Derry fans should be delighted if he’s off to Barnsley, he must have a good agent

Be good to get him out the door without a payoff. Although that would be peanuts to the owner. Same agent as Kenny I believe.
