Manager's View
Active Image Obviously the result in Cork was disappointing and the performance was disappointing too. But what you can’t do is a have top performances every week. So what we are trying to do is get a level of consistency. Lately we’ve been very good and what we have got to do is bounce back Saturday. Bray are a good side. They have got some good players with the likes of (Alan) Cawley, (Paddy) Kavanagh and (Ger) Rowe. We know all about Bray.’
Fans view
Three points are crucial for Sligo Rovers in this game as they face the top two and the eircom League champions before the end of the month.

Bray have had some great results recently and will be looking to extend that, but the Showgrounds is a hard place to come to and we'll be hopeful that the lads can get the right result.
