“We want to make sure until the end of the season that we give everything that we have,we want a full house, appeal to the supporters to come out in massive numbers next week”

“I know Dundalk are at the bottom, but in this league anyone can beat anyone and all the results prove that, and we need another massive performance next Friday night.”

“We need it [the support] we can’t underestimate anyone, which we won’t do. We want to create that noise level and that atmosphere.”

“2nd last home game and it will be fantastic if we can get close to a full house and roar the team and hopefully we’ll give a great performance.”
