The Blues have collected more points under Pat Dolan in the last three weeks (six) than they did in the previous five months.

Following the sacking of Alan Reynolds the club was in freefall but Dolan's arrival seems to have steadied the ship giving them some hope - now they look like they could stay up.

But Pat's know that they are good enough to survive as well. Their defensive record is twice as good, statistically and in reality, as it was last season.

Brendan Rae, said: "The two wins from the last three games have been great for morale."

Pat's boss, John McDonnell, said: "We need to win. It's that simple. Bad-luck stories are banned. We just have to go and do it."

Forecast: Home Win
Home advantage is key in the RSC and so too is Pat Dolan's motivational skills.
