Bray Wanderers goalkeeper Chris O'Connor believes the Seagulls can push for a top five finish this season [Listen to the Chris O'Connor podcast HERE].

Eddie Gormley's young side have impressed greatly this season. While they sit in 7th place in the Premier Division table, turning draws into wins has been their biggest problem - they have drawn five of their opening ten matches.


"We have been playing great football," says O'Connor. "We have had a lot of draws, but we've been playing the football without getting the rub of the green. All we can do is to keep doing what we're doing and it will work.


"Eddie has brought in the right kind of players, the sort who want to play football. They're young and they want to play football, and it's working. He has lads who will get the ball down and zip it around but, if needed, can also go long.


"We're hoping to push on now. We've played everybody already so we know what we're up against. We're pushing for top four or top five, we don't think that's unrealistic."


O'Connor was particularly impressed with how his side overcame the challenge of Shamrock Rovers last week and believes that a repeat performance shound see them take another three points at home to Drogheda United this Friday night.


"It[beating Shamrock Rovers] was massive. It was probably one of the best victories I have had so far, especially to beat them in their new ground. It's [Tallaght Stadium] top drawer. It's by far the best in the league. It's what the league needs, we just need more of that.

"We're not going to take anything for granted, but you'd like to think that if we play the same as we did last week then we can beat anyone. We need that kind of performance and then we shouldn't have a problem."
