Bohemians captain Owen Heary believes
that there is room for improvement following his team's 2-1 win over
Dundalk in the Premier Division of the Airtricity League at Dalymount
Park on Friday night “In the first half we were very good but in
the second half we never got out of second gear and we allowed them
to come back into it. We didn't play the way we did in the first half
and we got very sloppy. I think once you give away a goal it is backs
to the wall for the last 10 minutes. Thankfully we held out.”
Heary believes that a complacent
attitude allowed Dundalk to come back into the game “I think it was
because of complacency. In the first half we dominated the game and
we were 2-0 up. We didn't want the break to come but once it happens
it is a case of getting motivated again. Fellows think it is a little
bit too easy but that is down to age as well, but thankfully we saw
it out.”
The win over Dundalk leaves Bohemians
in 5th place in the table and Heary believes that this
relatively inexperienced squad are aiming to return to European
football next season “We've done well in the last couple of games
in the league. We are happy with our league form and our league
position at the moment. The aim is to get back into Europe especially
after the performance that we put in against the Iceland team (Thor
Akureyri) where we never played and never got going. It was hard to
take getting beat 5-1 by one of the worst teams that I have played in
Europe. That is a learning curve for the lads too and the only way to
bouce back is by trying to get into Europe again and hopefully get
into Europe for the young lads as well.”
Heary is claiming his side's fist goal
in the 35th minute despite the stadium announcer giving it
to Evan McMillan “It was definitely my goal. Evan took a touch but
it was over the line when he took that touch. It was definitely mine” concluded the Bohs captain.
