What he said - Drogheda United manager Pete Mahon

"I'm really looking forward to the game on Saturday. It feels like a long time since we've played at home and obviously we're eager to get the result.

"Bohs have put a few results together after a bad start but every team in the league is going to have their ups and downs.

"It's too early in the season to refer to it as a must win game but we're looking at all of our home games as opportunities to get points on the board. If we play as well as we did first-half in Derry, I'd expect us to get the win."
