John Russell

I think, though, it's probably...

From a John Russell perspective, we can't do much worse than what we saw last year in the home form.

Four wins all year.

Are you

it's going to be a bit more difficult to turn

that trick again.

But I think the if i if i was john russell and i could get a proper off season into me i you know do i ship a couple players on um make a decision on the like a depot maybe or something like that it was talking about him going somewhere there today i don't know where i can't remember

where that was but i've seen they want to keep him apparently

You know, you've got John Caulfield, you've got Steve Bradley.

I had Liam Buckley, a Pat, John Russell, a Sligo, a Barry Robson.

Now, I could say they're all different.

I'd probably go...

They're all different.

We do need to see it next season.

I think I did see something that I think John Russell and Jacob Bryan Jake O'Brien what am I talking about who who did

replace Joey O'Brien Joey O'Brien Jake O'Brien come on Ireland I think they ended up with the same number of points per game or very close okay you know and you know, Shells have kind of put a face on it come the end of the season.

Like, you know, they've won four out of their last five.

So yes, there is potential for both of those teams to vastly improve on this season.

But I think come, let's say, April, May next year, I would have to see Shells and Derry, I know we're lumping them together here, but much closer to the top end of the table and doing it consistently week in, week out.

And, you know, just on, you know, John Russell will have the off-season now.

Graham Cochran coming in, that was a huge upturn of results.

And then John Russell obviously leaving to go to Shelburne.

So there's been a lot of disruption at Sligo.

But it's such a great club, community club as well too.

Even if you take how they conduct themselves, we've had some really strange things happen this season that I think should never happen from professional footballers.

And it seems John Russell is now addressing that.

He does seem to be.

But speaking of professionalism, can I just continue with Bob's comment? Sorry, that was a bit of

And...

But the takeaway for me, and I will give Shelburne credit because obviously John Russell, it was a bit of a struggle for him at the start.

And we mentioned that, but that's four wins and five now.

They finished really strongly.

It was a real struggle for them on the night.

And a lot of that, as I said, is down to Shelburne.

credit to John Russell in that regard and it looks like he's finally beginning to maybe getting a tune out of him as well and also just settling on a start in 11 if you like now it looks like he might lose a couple of them as well there's a lot of talk and you're on about the midfield area that Kerr McEnroy could go as well so he'll be a big loss because he was strong in that midfield as was Jack Henry Francis and JJ Lunny they were the better team in there that was the biggest area for Bohemians where they struggled Diallo was way off Flores who's not

that's been said before just not about him well

Other than that, we never really threatened in the game at all.

Jonathan Higgins then caught up with Chalmers manager John Russell after the win.

Delighted with our performance and obviously the result.

I enjoyed watching us tonight, I have to say, in and out of possession.
