Cobh Ramblers form and stats

The visitors are W0-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the First Division. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ramblers are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The Ramblers goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 193 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The manager S. Ashton was unhappy after their last game, a FAI Cup match played at their home ground St. Coleman's Park. Cobh Ramblers suffered a 0-2 loss to Dundalk. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Longford Town in the First Division.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ramblers manager S. Ashton as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Shamrock Rovers II.

Ramblers are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 0 goals from 4 away games. It's not easy to score on Ramblers as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
