Manager backs Sligo Rovers to come back fighting

Sligo Rovers were on the wrong end of a late late show, but manager John Russell has backed his players to come back fighting. The Bit O'Red are currently 7th in League of Ireland Premier, with 41 points from 36 games, and a recent form of WDLLW.

What happened?

Sligo Rovers surrendered a 2-0 lead at Showgrounds, but Russell remains confident in his team's ability to bounce back.

Why it matters for Sligo Rovers

The result was a setback for Sligo Rovers, but they are still just 25 points behind leaders Shamrock Rovers, and have a goal difference of -12, having scored 42 goals and conceded 54.

What comes next?

Sligo Rovers will look to put the disappointment behind them and focus on their next match, as they aim to improve on their recent form of 2W-2D-1L, and build on their 2-game winning run.
