It was a better tempo and better rhythm, there was more speed in our game. So, we were very good in the second half.
Sligo are in a battle with St Patrick’s Athletic, Galway United, Derry City and Shamrock Rovers for a top-three finish, while mathematically they could still overhaul leaders Shelbourne. Rodgers was able to give game-time at the Showgrounds to players who weren’t away on international duty.
