'We need to start picking up points real quick': Maguire fully aware of Cork City's ticking clock 

11-time capped Republic of Ireland international Maguire has also called on the City fans to get behind the squad. He knows exactly the effect it can have on the players down at pitch level.

Twenty-one games played. Two wins. Zero clean sheets. Not easy reading for Cork City fans, management and players alike. 

Since new City boss Ger Nash's appointment on May 15, their record reads three losses, two draws, zero wins. Again, not the bounce the 38-year-old would have been hoping for, but there have been green shoots during his short tenure.
