Skipper Gearóid Morrissey says Cork City “won’t be pushing the panic button just yet” after the club’s recent setbacks in the SSE Airtricity League First Division.

After an opening day win over Cobh Ramblers, Colin Healy’s City side have suffered back-to-back defeats to Cabinteely and Athlone Town on consecutive Fridays to dent early optimism. Things don’t get any easier this weekend as old rivals Shelbourne visit Turner’s Cross (7.45pm).
