Greatest League in the World 2026 [LOI Thread]

Dreadful from us in Sligo tonight. Having no striker at the club bar a teenager is awful. Doyle is a LW and Oluwa is awful.

Sligo weren't great but scored two (Dennison giving away a goal for the second week in a row) and that was the difference.

A bit disappointing to see time wasting from Sligo from 60 mins onwards but they got three points so will be, rightly, delighted.

I think the ref booked two of your players for time wasting, let you take a free kick after additional time in the firet half (from which you scored) and blew up ft when we won a corner.

I'm not complaining about the result, we were awful. But suggesting that Drogheda were time wasting is a bit silly.

Ok then.

Great win for us last night even if we almost threw it away after going two up. First half was fairly even, both teams had chances although nothing clear cut. We dominated the first 20 minutes of the second half and deserved our lead. Was great to see Edmundson score as he'd worked hard so far this season but he'd missed several good chances in his previous games. Then once we scored our second goal, Shels took control of the play and got two very quick goals. Both were sloppy defending on our part, Wood should never be allowed sialom his way across the pitch like that and Caffey was allowed too much space to get his shot off for the equaliser. We got back into it somewhat after the equaliser but Shels probably looked the most likely to score until we got a corner following a dangerous free kick and Mata finishes superbly to give us the win.

For the first 70 minutes Hoare was really good for us, he then faded but for what looked like a bad signing last year he's done really well the last three matches. Baggley has also been excellent for us so far this year. Nugent had a tough job replacing Lennon and he didn't let himself down, he definitely faded in the 2nd half but before that he controlled our play and held the midfield well.

How is that relevant to tonight's game? Did you watch it?

You must be disappointed on a weekly basis so. Drogs were time wasting in the first half at 0-0 in the season opener with us.

It may be irrational at this stage, but I still don't trust Hoare. He was dreadful last season, and I'd still have Grivosti instead of him. Like I say, I might be biased, but he still seems like an accident waiting to happen to me.

Would have snapped your hand off for a point there

At 2 nil up I started to dream, but even at 2-1 I was thinking we would lose. We’re in bits in many different ways.

2nd shels goal was bizarre only half caught it but looked nearly like linesman had taken off running to the half way line before the ball was squared and turned in , peno was disaster by speele i thought and fair enough.

You would think that if Rovers were found to have sabotaged a pitch to get a game off, the punishment would be worse than a fine, but zero chance they’ll be able to prove that happened. Will end up going away.
