Bohemians will be hoping to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Sligo when they entertain Bray Wanderers at Dalymount Park tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

Gypsies manager Pat Fenlon has almost a full squad available, with only Owen Heary (hamstring) remaining sidelined.

Speaking about the midweek defeat at the Showgrounds, Fenlon said: "We didn't start well enough.

"There's no issue there (with fitness). We finished like a train, pressing hard and creating chances."

Fenlon expects another intense tussle with Wanderers.

He added: "Like Sligo, they're fighting for their lives".

Bray will be without Paul Byrne as his knee injury is still causing problems, and there is a doubt about Shane O'Neill (ankle).

Dave Mulcahy, Stephen Brennan and Daire Doye all return from suspension to bolster the Wanderers squad.

Manager Eddie Gormley said: “We need to pick ourselves up now and be positive as we face Bohs who in my opinion are the best team in the league.

"We will go there, work hard and hope for a little luck and see what happens. It’s not a time to be feeling sorry for ourselves.”
