Drogheda United -v- Bray Wanderers
- Alan Smith
- Tue, Nov 10 2009
Eddie Gormley’s men looked resigned to the automatic drop, but now they’ve got a last chance saloon in Co. Louth tonight against Drogs, who finished second from bottom after an awful start to 2009.
These two sides were undoubtedly the worst on the pitch in the past eight months, and it proves to be fair in the end that they are in the play-offs.
Eddie Gormley’s only injury worries going into the game are over Gary McCabe and Derek Foran, and both will face late fitness tests before the game.
Drogs, meanwhile, have James Chambers back from a one game ban as the rest of Alan Matthews’ squad is fully fit.
