Here we go , 4 in a row.
Poor enough game and poor performance from Rovers, but after the intensity of the derby on Friday it is probably excusable. Great 3 points though on the road to title number 21. #mindthegap
Derry came for a belly tiddle and went home with their bellies tiddled.
The defending for the goal was criminal, 4 players around Gaffney but Boyce who’s half his size was the only one who’d tried to get a tackle in. The Derry keeper was poor for the goal as well, too slow to react.
May as well call the season off, nobody is gonna catch Rovers now.
