Baraclough won a League, FAI Cup and Setanta Cup with us do he did alright! Inhertited a very good squad mind.

From what I know, Stevens loan has been cut short and has been sent back to Peterborough, his loan was finished at the end of June anyway. Tobi has been disciplined and fined with a short suspension. Tobi was our player of the season last year so personally I would be sorry to see him leave. But he has been out socializing (drinking) too much this season and before games so probably should have been given a kick up the whole sooner and this would not have happened. Probably got away with it longer because of Robertson leaving and being managerless for a while.

To be honest it's the straw that broke the camels back with Tobi this season. Numerous incidents that he has been in involved with around the town. Only so many times people can cover it up. Don't know when it happened but video only started doing the rounds recently and I think the club needed to be shown to do something about him. Was absolutely terrific for us last season but has been awful this season.

Stevens wasn't great. No loss even if we've a threadbare squad would no doubt have been going next month anyway.

There really is an awful lot of good will toward Sligo Rovers in the area. The annual draw brought in 61k and 2000 fans for a home game in a relegation battle.

I was stunned when I heard that at the game yesterday, youse must have absolute trojan volunteers selling tickets.

The prizes were run of the mill stuff so it's amazing to have sold that amount of tickets.

Really don't know why he went with the 3 at the back for that game mind. We hadn't been doing too bad with a back 4 all things considered. Don't really know if I'd agree with us having the squad to stay up at the moment for sure. Sadlier will be very hard replaced obviously enough and we need to get a striker.  Win at the weekend would be very much appreciated.
