Full squad for Candystripes

Sligo Rovers and Derry City go head-to-head in tonight's eircom League of Ireland Premier Division clash at the Showgrounds, kick-off 8pm.

The Candystripes have the luxury of travelling with a full squad for the Sligo clash.

Derry's assistant manager Alan Reynolds is looking to build on their convincing League Cup victory over Bohemians in midweek.

He said: "We were looking for a reaction from the players after the setback against St Pat's and we got that in the League Cup on Tuesday, with a good performance and good win against Bohs.

"But now our focus is to replicate that and get ourselves back on track in the league.

"In saying that, Sligo is a tough place to go and they'll be confident after having a good result at Cobh.

"Half-time in Sligo will mark the half-way point in the season and we are in a decent position but it goes without saying that we want to improve on that position as time goes on."

Sligo boss Paul Cook goes into the game with a full squad and is likely to name an unchanged side from the 11 that defeated Cobh Ramblers last weekend.

Chris Butler and Mauro Almeida are both carrying injuries but should be fit to start.

Cook will have to work with this squad until the end of the season as he has admitted that resources dictate that he will not be bringing any new signings before the end of the transfer window.
