The Men Who Saved Football - Ep 153 Dundalk 0 - 5 Sligo Rovers & St Pats 1 - 0 Dundalk Reaction

The Men Who Saved Football

Dundalk fail to respond to an opening home defeat against Galway and suffer a nightmare performance against Sligo Rovers. In an echo of last season's Cup capitulation Sligo settle the contest in the first 30 mins by taking advantage of a series of unforced errors in Dundalk's creaky defence with the Lilywhites failing to muster a response for the remainder of the game. Despite improvement from the low point of Monday, Friday's clash with St Pats also ends in defeat as Dundalk's defence fails to deal with a routine long ball over the top as pressure grows on manager Stephen O'Donnell.
