Bohemians will look to get back to winning ways this Friday evening as they welcome Bray Wanderers to Dalymount Park. Bohs fought out a tough 0-0 draw away to Sligo Rovers last weekend but Bray did them the favour of holding nearest rivals Derry City to a 1-1 draw in the Carlisle Grounds.

Team News:
Pat Fenlon has several injury concerns ahead of the game. Glen Cronin is still out with a thigh injury, Mark Rossiter will be out for some weeks with a hamstring injury, and Brian Shelley (also hamstring) may just make it to full fitness in time.

For the first time this season Eddie Gormley has an injury free Bray squad to choose from.
Manager Views:
“We didn't play in the manner we had been doing, we didn't work hard enough. We changed that after the break where we had more possession; we worked harder and bossed the second half,” said Gormley following last weeks result.

“I'll be looking for a second half performance for the ninety minutes on Friday night, they are a very good side and if we don't have the proper work ethic it will be a long night for us,” he added.

“With Eddie Gormley in charge, you know you're going to get a football match. Bray are playing without fear, and they're hard to beat," Bohs manager Pat Fenlon said.

Last Season:
Last season, Bohs had the upper hand against this weekend's opponents. In the three games between Bohs and Bray, Bohs collected seven points, with a win and a draw at home, and a 2-0 away victory.
