SLIGO ROVERS v BOHEMIANS
Monday April 20th, The Showgrounds, 7.45pm
Bohemian manager Keith Long has challenged his side to show more guile up front when they travel to face Sligo Rovers tonight.
The Gypsies slipped to only their second defeat of the season on Friday when St Patrick’s Athletic came away from Dalymount Park with a 1-0 victory.
Bohs came close to claiming a share of the spoils, but Long wants to see his side create more attacking opportunities from open play.
“I thought Friday was a missed opportunity,” he said. “We had a big crowd behind us and we’re in the entertainment business but we didn’t take advantage of that.

“We didn’t create enough chances throughout the game. We were okay with some set-pieces but we lacked guile in open play despite having lots of the ball. That’s something I want us to improve on tonight.”
Long says his side have “lots of little niggles” from Friday’s game, but the only main concern is Robbie Creevy (ankle) and long-term absentee Dan Byrne, who is making steady progress in rehabilitation from his cruciate injury.
