THE LOI POD: Daly's tenure up at the Blu...

OTB Sports
About this episode

Stephen Doyle is joined this week by the not-so-usual suspects, as former Cork City title winner Johnny Dunleavy stepped in for Gareth McGlynn, whilst Vinny Perth was along as usual to talk all things League of Ireland.

Graham Coughlan was named as Waterford manager after Jon Daly was appointed, but can someone who spent most of their career in the UK translate success to the League of Ireland?

After St. Patrick's Athletic dropped points twice over the weekend, can anyone maintain consistency in their bid to knock Shamrock Rovers off their perch?

Dunleavy explains the aura around Galway United manager John Caulfield.

Can Shamrock Rovers cope without their talismanic leader Pico Lopes? And will Galway put them under pressure at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday in our live commentary game?

Ciaran Kilduff continues to pull up trees as Dundalk manager, and Dunleavy explains what makes them so good in an attacking sense.

Bohs atrocious in the first half against Derry, but what happened in the second half? And is it a matter of time as to when Alan Reynolds departs?

A huge win for Shelbourne and Joey O'Brien, can they start to turn their season around?

Sligo Rovers had a pretty decent weekend last time out but can they now turn attentions to moving further up the table, away from basement side Waterford?

Drogheda's leaky defence, how can they fix that and turn things around? 

Derry City turn a corner under Tiernan Lynch, but what have they done differently over the last few weeks?
