WITH just one recognised striker available to him since the start of the season, Sligo Rovers caretaker manager, Leo Tierney, is hoping that Sean Flannery or Matthew Judge will be fit enough to at least make the bench for Friday night's trip to title chasing, Drogheda United, at United Park (Kick-off 7.45pm).
...
The lack of firepower up front was clearly evident in the one-nil defeat to Bohemians at the weekend, and Tierney is anxious to add more strength to the Rovers attack as quickly as possible.
...
Tierney has expressed disappointment at the outcome of Friday night's encounter at Dalymount Park, ruing some lost opportunities to have taken at least a point against ex-manager, Sean Connor.
...
Unfortunately, our finishing was not as good as theirs and that is something we have to look at and will hopefully put right," Tierney added.

"We need firepower up front.Maybe we had the better opportunities in the first-half, but if you don't finish you often don't get anything," he argued.

Tierney again praised the effort and commitment shown by the Rovers players, repeating that the side needs "a cutting edge."
...
However, Tierney remains in upbeat mood and feels Rovers are capable of getting a result.

"We have already proven to ourselves that we can match these teams and we will be ,up' for the challenge against Drogheda.

"We will obviously need a bit of luck and perhaps the chances that didn't go in against Bohs will turn for us.

"We do, however, need another forward on board.Not taking anything away from Rafael(Cretaro) or Faz (Kuduzovic), who have been super for us playing as strikers, but we need a bit of punch in attack," said Tierney.
...
Jamie, Keith Foy and Seamus Coleman helped him all through and it was a good start for him," said Tierney.

"Obviously, with three players missing for different reasons we will have to switch things around, but we want to impose our own game on Longford," said caretaker manager, Leo Tierney.

Tierney and under-21 boss, Dessie Cawley, could be in charge for the last time on Friday night, as Rovers Chairman, Michael Toolan, has indicated that a new manager is likely to be in place before the next home game against U.C.D. at the Showgrounds.
...
"We certainly could do with having that matter sorted this week, especially in the absence of Chris, Ralf and Gary," added Tierney.
...
"We have to go there and play and have the belief and confidence that we can get a result-which I think we can," Tierney said.
...
However, our players are looking forward to it and see it as an opportunity to get three points," Tierney maintained.

Looking back on the two-nil defeat to Derry, the caretaker manager felt his side showed the F.A.I. Cup holders too much respect in the first-half.
...
Derry are a very, very good team and once we fell behind we were always chasing it," Tierney concluded.
