Jon Daly says bottom side Waterford will benefit from the experience of recruit Kevin Long after admitting they got ‘battered’ in Friday’s 5-0 humbling at Dundalk. Long made 50 appearances in the Major League Soccer but hasn’t played since September when a hamstring injury curtailed his season. Waterford travel to Galway, where Daly was assistant last season, before hosting in-form St Patrick’s Athletic at the RSC on Friday. We’re shouting from the sideline but ultimately the people closer to him need to tell him. “Against Dundalk, we could have played until Christmas and wouldn’t have scored.”
