Cork City FC are back on the road on Friday evening, travelling to the Carlisle Grounds for the first time since July 2018 to face Bray Wanderers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rebel Army will be looking to put a halt to their run of four consecutive losses, after last Friday\u2019s defeat to Treaty United at the Markets Field, while the hosts are still in search of their first victory of the season having picked up four points from four draws and suffering defeat at home to Athlone on matchday four.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at the weekly press conference, City boss Colin Healy said he knows his side need to pick up points on Friday evening:\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve lost four in a row now, and that\u2019s difficult to take. We\u2019re giving away goals too easily at the moment. I know the standards that we set here at the club, and four defeats in a row isn\u2019t good enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bray are a very good side. I worked with a few of them in the international set up, so I know it\u2019s going to be a difficult game on Friday night. They\u2019re strong defensively, but they\u2019re also good going forward. Training has been good this week, as it always is. We\u2019ve put our game plan together for Friday night, and we know we need to start putting more points on the board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Midfielder Alec Byrne also spoke to the media, and he spoke of how the squad\u2019s focus moves onto Friday:\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s obviously very disappointing, but when you come in on a Monday, you need to wipe it off, get ready and go again. We need to make sure we get a good result on Friday because we know it hasn\u2019t been good enough in recent weeks. Every game is huge in this league. It\u2019s still early in the season, so we\u2019re not too worried, but we know we need to start putting in better performances and picking up results.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

City will be boosted by the return of Jack Walsh, who returns having served a suspension for the red card he picked up against Shelbourne. Steven Beattie and Cory Galvin are still out, while Gear\u00f3id Morrissey may feature.<\/span><\/p>\n
