So we stick with the proven system and players...

The only current #DCFC players to have scored against #Shels for #DCFC in #LOIPD are M Duffy(3), A O'Reilly (1) L Boyce (1) H Rylah (1)

Last season #DCFC lost 3-1 on Opening night @ Tolka (Duffy) but the Candystripes won on their next visit in June 0-1 (Duffy). #DCFC are on a 7 match winless streak. They last won a game on 27.02 4-2 v Waterford at home. This is the last of 4 in a row away games for #DCFC.

#Match12 #DerryCityFC travel to #Shels on Fri Night. Its 6th v 7th with Shels on 13 Points (10 played) and #DCFC on 11 Points (11 Played). Shels have not won at Home and Derry have not won away. Shels won 1-2 at the Brandywell on 13/3.

#DerryCityFC Is Gavin Whyte injured ? He came off the bench in game #3 v Bohs, then started #4 v Waterford (subbed after 72 mins) also started #5 away at Rovers but was hooked at half time. Wasn't seen again until an unused sub in #8 home to Drogheda and hasn't been seen since.

#DerryCityFC With a return of only 11 points from 11 games played so far in #LOIPD If that return rate of 1.00 pts / game is maintained over the remainder of this season then a bottom 3/4 place is almost a certainty.

When James Clarke opened the scoring in Dundalk last night for #DerryCityFC it was only the second time this season that #DCFC scored the first goal in a game - M Duffy put City 1 up at home to Drogheda in matchweek 8. Both games ended in 2-2 Draws.

#DerryCityFC and Waterford Utd are the only two teams in the #LOIPD who have yet to win a game away from home. Derry have scored only 3 goals on the road - the fewest in the league. #Shels and Waterford the only teams without a home win. it's #DCFC away to #SHELS of Fri night.

#DerryCityFC are 7th of the league in terms of points. They are TOP of the league when it comes to Corners won (72) and in Tackles per match (20). (Nobody tell Lynch)

James Clarke has started 9 of the 11 #LOI games #DerryCityFC have played this season. He has been substituted in 7 of those 9 starts.

Josh Thomas is the only #DerryCityFC player to appear in all 11 #LOI games this season. He has started 6 Games and come off the bench in 5. Of the 6 games that he started he was subbed off 4 times.

Derry now winless in 7 games - now on 11 points after 11 games and 7th place. Next up is Shelbourne away the League Leaders Rovers at Celtic Park. #DerryCityFC

FT at Oriel and #DCFC gain a point in the second 2-2 between the teams this season. A real battling performance from the Candystripes.

Red Card for James McClean - after 94 mins. It was inevitable someone seen red.

92mins J McClean becomes the 8th #DCFC player to be booked
