And the Bows lads didn't know what they were up against.

And the only difficulty was that he wasn't in the box then to receive the ball.

But he is different gravy altogether.

He really impressed me.

All season, if a team needs to go and challenge Shamrock Rovers for the league this year, they need to go out and get him in the window.

But leaving that aside, let's talk about the first half.

The balls were terrible.

They really struggled to get into the game.

They were second to every ball.

What I seen was...

Dundalk had a box midfield they set the traps they let Hickey have the ball Kane Bourne came in centre half he was good tonight but they closed him down and they let Hickey have the ball which I think is a problem now for Bows because his distribution isn't good enough teams are noticing that now Dundalk's Dundalk box midfield so he had to go long so I'd say

all of Hickey's balls were into Whelan's feet it was isolated on his own the poor chap hadn't got an out ball then because the midfield was congested and Dundalk just broke they just closed down but as that always happens then in the second half Bowers made a couple of changes like bringing Diallo and Power on is huge like you're talking about percentages in this game in every single league there tonight or in every single game there tonight and you're seeing the likes of

The likes of Diallo and Power coming on at half-time there, it makes a huge difference to a team when you have players that can just give you that extra one and two percents.

And that's what happened.

Balls got in and they just looked like they're supposed to look every week.

With the talent that they have, they just looked like they meant it.

simple stuff around the box the clearances were falling to the Bowers players because they had two up front when they brought James Taylor on as well Rossi got us back in the game and then Dundalk were all over the place they got four or five yellow cards they were trying to stop the game it wasn't it's not

what you associate Dundalk with this year.

They're not that sort of team.

They're a nice team that are very direct and they look good.
