Now, ultimately, Atleone did enough in their games at hand to go on and become champions, but that could be a different type of pressure.

If they're going to go deep in Europe this time around, they could find themselves maybe having to chase somebody.

You mentioned Derry a little bit earlier and you mentioned, obviously, James McLean coming in.

They've strengthened quite a bit.

They've been very active in the market, haven't they?

I think when Paddy McLean made the trip back up to Derry City for his, I think this might be his third spell at the club, people kind of assumed, you know what, James might just leave Wrexham.

last year there was rumours since I think when he went to the FA Cup final in his Derry jersey people kind of assumed because when he was a few people had asked him on the way into the ground well I'd love to go back to Derry before it finishes I remember watching him in the first division playing for Derry City nearly 10 years ago now at this stage kind of flying down the left side back then he might not be quite as pacey as he was but like Eoghan Doyle was saying last night and we'll hear Duffy talk about it in a second he reckons that because James McLean has kept himself in such good nick

That if Derry are careful about the way that they use him during the season, he can be a huge influence for them.

he's going to be brilliant for us on the pitch and off the pitch and I'm really excited to play alongside him James McLean I think we're all expecting he's going to have a big impact to the club in the year to come so I wonder as well so you obviously talk about his professionalism I wonder again is this going to be one of those signs that just drives that little bit of interest I remember when Keith Gillespie went to Longford and loads of people just became really intrigued it was him and Kirby as a kind of a veteran midfield he wasn't playing like a winger like he was when he was at Newcastle or Man United but yet people were going to watch Longford games just to watch Keith Gillespie

Let's go to shells then, because Joey O'Brien was talking to Stephen Doyle as well.

One of the aspects for his side has been some of the introduction that they brought in around analytics as well, including Jamestown analytics.

Rather than explaining what that means for transfers, here's the man himself explaining why they're deploying them.

the news for various different reasons.

His gambling, what happened to Brighton, the fact that he's used these analytics at Hearts, which has been very successful in the Scottish Premiership so far this year as well.

That, I presume, is going to have quite an impact on scouting players for Shells too?

It's either you want a former international, you can say, oh, former Ireland under 21 international assigned or whatever it might be.

In this case, McLean obviously is a huge entry coming in, but nothing else beats a guy who comes from the Portuguese second division.

You've heard nothing about him, but obviously Shells must have spotted something.

And that's the reason that they brought him in.

Bohemians then are getting ready for European football this season, which was earned for them last year.
