Higgins: We’ll have to be right at it against Drogheda

Derry City and Drogheda United have shared 13 goals in three matches going into their final encounter this campaign.

City won 2-1 and 5-1 at the Brandywell with the other game finishing 2-2 at Weavers Park.

The emphatic scoreline at Weavers Park was a rare moment of genuine weakness from Drogheda after being competitive in nearly all their other matches, even in defeat.

Kevin Doherty’s side have a home Cup semi-final against Wexford to come.

Ruaidhri Higgins is well aware that they’ll prove a tough nut to crack this evening, Friday, September 27.

He said: “They signed well in the summer; in fact every player they brought in has gone straight into the side and they’re a completely different proposition now than earlier in the season.

“They have quality right throughout the team and while Drogheda is always a very difficult venue at the best of times, we’ll have to be right at it on Friday night if we are to give ourselves a chance of winning.”

“We’ve stayed fully focused this week and to be honest, we just have to look after ourselves and not get too bothered about what’s happening elsewhere.”

Adam O’Reilly picked up a knock at the weekend and is a doubt.

Higgins concluded: “We have a few other bumps and bruises but I’d imagine it’ll be along the same lines as last weekend’s squad, depending on how Adam is.

“We have a lot of big games coming up but we’re just taking them as they come. No-one’s getting ahead of themselves and this is where the experience we have in the dressing room can make a difference.
