Baz commented on the atmosphere that was coming through the screen at him, I suppose, as the game kind of edged in towards the final minutes there.

Tell the talk to us on that side of things.

Yeah, and all that Steve has done, he was so about right.

And what's the talk around the club, I suppose, in terms of James McLean's situation?

You know, is there, you know, is the talk on the terraces that, oh, the chairman must have a bit of influence here and be demanding that he's playing or being demanding that he's playing in a certain position?

Or do you just feel that this is the calls that Tiernan is making?

You know, what's the vibe around the place?

Like, Philip...

The amount of money the man has put in, to be fair to him, over the last couple of years is just absolutely phenomenal.

But you have to be doing better than you are given the finances poured in there over the last while.

And listen, a short turnaround before another extremely tricky one.

Obviously, Pats have turned the corner.

Well, turned the corner is probably too early to say at this stage of the season, but they're flying it at the moment.

I mean, hopes can't be too high heading into that one the way things are going.

Yeah, and Barry mentioned, has there been a bit of a drop-off in attendance already as well, Aidan?

That will be fun.

Heading down to Dublin and that tough game and then home to Drogheda the following one.

As you say, if you don't get something out of Monday night's game, it could be a fairly poisonous atmosphere up around the place by this time next week.

And I suppose one last curveball to throw at you, but if fans have been talking about possibly a need for a change, has there been any names bounced around up there as to potential replacements if it came to that?

it won't take no shape that would be you'd want to get one of those Wrexham style reality TV shows going fairly quickly now if we ended up with Dufferin James in the one dressing room I'd say that would be exactly yeah
