don't  think bohs should feel they should be finishing  above  sligo or Derry necessarily   league  form was poor overall and the euro wins masked that a bit and of course if we had won today it would have been a good year .Bohs budget  while a bit bigger than a couple of seasons ago is still not enough to really compete  at the top  we would need a he'll of a lot of luck to be in the first 3 or 4 .With players moving around so easily it is very difficult to build a squad without a sizeable budget .
 From the outside, when I see how Bohs performances against Rovers, I find some of their other results baffling to be honest.Does make me question their motivation in some games. Beating Waterford in cup semi and then losing to them a few days later in the league...the league defeat cost them europe and the cup win ultimately meant nowt...

Lack of experience in the squad.  Conceded a ridiculous amount of goals after 85 minutes this season. Threw Europe away when you think of some of the results. Drew twice with Longford at home, being 2-0 up in one of the games. Last minute equaliser conceded away to Drogheda too. As talented a group as they are, some older heads are needed, someone the like of Greg Bolger, especially now with Bucko seemingly on the way. The "part-time" model wouldn't be an enticing one for older players though.

As for the game itself, Pats the better side for most of the 90, they seemed to be a step ahead tactically. We got into some great positions throughout the game but lacked quality with the final shot or taking too many touches instead of trying to shot.
