What did Stephen Kenny say about the team's performance in the second half?
football on off the ball but I just think there's very little wiggle room for success at Celtic and I know Hart's at the top of the league at the minute and could easily go on to win it but I think if you win the league and you win the cup at Celtic the fans are still going to be saying well we need success in Europe join in the obsession subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join off the ball daily Stephen Kenny that was some second half performance I don't know what you said to the lads at half time Yeah, no, I think we passed the ball well in the first half, but we didn't penetrate it enough. They're difficult to break down. They're very well organised and they defended well in the first half.
You know, obviously... We were disappointed to go in 1-0 down at half time. But it was a different question really. The previous three games last week we took the lead in. So all of a sudden questions were asked. 1-0 down at home.
How did St Patrick's Athletic respond to being down at halftime?
Bit of pressure on that when that happens. How are we going to respond to that? That was a question I asked at half time. It's different to last week. 1-0 down. Now how are we going to respond? What are we made of? So to score four goals in the second half was a brilliant response and I can't praise the players highly enough for that. Coming from behind and given the history of the game last season because I know when we talked to you yesterday before the match one goal in the four games and people probably asked us why are we covering this game there's never goals in this game and obviously we got five tonight but Also, just the spread of goals from crucial players for you now. Ryan Edmondson, Keane Levy gets another one.
Aidan Keane shows that people say it's only a penalty, but there was a penalty saved tonight as well. Yeah, it was an important penalty. It was a pressure when he was only on the pitch. We've had seven different scorers coming into the game and obviously we scored eight goals last week so to get another four tonight shows that we're sort of fluid in our play and we're creating chances and that's important.
What factors contributed to the spread of goals among crucial players?
Still room for improvement of course and we'll get ask bigger questions on Monday against Derry, who obviously have a formidable squad. I know they got beat tonight, but they've got a very strong squad. So we'll have to get ourselves down and get ready for that. Yeah, it was obviously great for Ryan to open his account last week in the manner he did. And then, you know, he had a chance earlier in the game, but then comes up with the goal. Because I'd say at half-time, obviously, the concern is you need to get that equaliser as soon as possible. Yes, and you don't want to go a goal down against Stratford because they're quite an experienced team and they manage games in a way that they're difficult to open up.
So it was important to get that equaliser, you're right, it was critical for us to score. And Keane Levy scored the winner against Galway. He's going to make his 100th appearance on Monday night and when you look at the way he plays some people might say maybe he's not getting enough goals but he's already got two goals now this season and maybe it's a sign this is the season when they really start to come. Yeah, I think, listen, he knows himself, like his play, he's always shown so much promise and now I think he's elevated his play now this season again. But the area where he would like to improve and puts pressure on himself is not scoring enough goals. I think the fact that he's got two already shows he has the capability to score goals and good goals.
His work rate is phenomenal and his dribbling of the ball is unique off either side.
What challenges does Kevin Doherty identify in Drogheda's gameplay?
He is someone that he'll be delighted to get that goal because he puts pressure on himself and knows that his goal ratio It's an area he wants to improve and thankfully he looks like he's well on the way to doing that. Another home game to look forward to. Derry City said they were beaten. You're going for five in a row and things are looking up. When you think back to that Keane Levy goal against Galway, it's amazing how things can change so quickly.
