TEAM NEWS

JOHN COLEMAN’S THOUGHTS
“Football is a game where every game you don’t win the pressure mounts on you. We’ve got to stand up and be counted, and not hide from it.
We’ve been guilty at giving up chances infront of goal – like what we did against Cork in the cup [two weeks ago] – and we’ve also given up horrendous goals at the back like the last four goals that we’ve conceded which have all been preventable, so we’ve got to get back on the front foot & stamp our attacking identity of the games.”
