Damien Duff’s tactical changes come undone as Ryan Graydon goal puts Candystripes top
In a scrappy affair, Derry created four goal chances in the opening 15 minutes. They took one and never looked back.
Next, Ben Doherty’s pace left two Shels defenders for dust but Kearns did well to save with his feet. Both managers, Duff and Ruaidhrí Higgins, are former members of Stephen Kenny’s management. Neither lasted long as the League of Ireland needs them more than their country does. The clash of philosophies was compelling; Derry employ France’s 4-2-3-1 system to Shels 5-4-1 box-shaped midfield.
Ollie O’Neill showed solidarity with his Ireland team-mate by knocking Patching’s neat pass over the crossbar. To be fair, he still had Kearns to beat.
