“We have to look to get the point we need. Football can kick you when you’re down and the other games could go against us.”

Bohemians come to this crunch game following defeat last week to Bray Wanderers in a game that Browne considers neither side deserved to win.

“It was a very poor game from the start. It looked like both teams were willing to settle for a draw. It took only one lapse of concentration and the ball was in the net. Too many of our players were down a gear. We have to rectify that this week.”

In the league this season Bohemians and Drogheda United have played out two draws. Last May in Hunky Dorys Park they shared four goals and six yellow cards. In July, in Dalymount Park, they drew 1-1 and again had three yellow cards each.

Drogheda United put Bohs out of the FAI Cup last May on their way to next month’s final.

Browne and assistant Owen Heary hope to have Anto Murphy (recovered from ulcer) and Dave Mulcahy (recovered from ankle injury) available for Friday. The two have been training but are subject to late fitness tests.

“It would be a big plus to have them both on the park in terms of experience and know-how and encouraging the young players,” said Browne.

With or without these two experienced players Bohemians may make some changes to their line-up, aiming to inject greater urgency into their play.

“We have a lot of players in the squad who have not had the experience of a relegation battle. We have to give them as much support as possible,” said Browne. “But when they cross that white line they have to motivate themselves.

“We have had great support over the last weeks. The players now have to go out and give a performance.”

The November draw will be held on Sunday, 17th November, at the Owen Heary Tribute Game.
