Drogheda United boss Kevin Doherty wary of Waterford FC qualities
The Blues lie seven points clear of second-bottom Sligo Rovers and trail fourth-placed Drogheda by eight, but Doherty doesn't accept that they'll journey up the M1 with nothing to pride to play for. Speaking on Tuesday, he said: 'There's 10 games left and still 30 points to play for and a couple of wins and they're right there (in the battle for European places), particularly when they're playing us. It's a bit early to be talking about having nothing to play for, it really is, so I think they're very much alive. 'I watched their game at the weekend (against St Pat's) and they had a really, really strong performance, and a really good result in Galway the week before. Who else has gone down there and scored four goals? 'They will bring a lot of challenges. Everyone talks about Padraig Amond and Tommy Lonergan up front, but they've got Conan Noonan in behind as well and they brought in (Jordan) Rossiter. Andy Boyle will be coming back as well, so they'll have their strongest backline available, and they've a very experienced manager who knows how to get results. 'Every game in this league is so, so difficult, but we're going into Friday confident after winning three in a row and playing well. 'I could not have been happier with the performance on Friday (against Bohemians) and I think it was very, very evident what we were doing on that training camp in Spain the week before.' 'The big thing for me is the availability of players, which is a massive difference compared to a month ago. Paul Doyle did his first full training session yesterday, so it's only Elicha Ahui, Zishim Bawa and Scott Brady who aren't available now.' Warren Davis and Darragh Markey scored the goals in a 2-0 win the last time Waterford visited Drogheda, but in the reverse fixture in the RSC it took a stoppage-time strike from Conor Keeley to rescue a 2-2 draw.
