The men from Brandywell will wear the new Adidas home kit in tonight's clash against the Bohemians.

The new shirt will go on sale in mid-March.

He becomes aware that his side is facing a Boh team full of talented players.

The Dubliners, fresh from two wins this week against Waterford and Sligo Rovers, ended Monday night's success against Liam Buckley's men, with a 21-year-old middle team, and Devine believes in his midfielder, Daniel Mandroiu, who has one of the best players in the country. .

"They have a real ethic in this regard, and Danny Mandroiu is a footballer who is in Ireland right now," he said.

"Wee (Keith) Wardy is just as good a footballer in the division, he is a very good player on his day and (Kris) Twardek is doing very well for them.

"We hope the conditions are good and we hope we have a lot of people, who are right behind the players, because the players have really been behind the scenes and are working extremely hard.

"We can't wait for the match to start, because we want to test ourselves against the best teams. We were very unhappy against Dundalk, we probably should have won the match against the Harps (Finn), but we did not play at our levels, but again this is another opportunity for players to apply for a place in first team. "

Boh midfielder Keith Ward believes the Brandywell men will press for a first win of the season, but Devine disagrees, though he acknowledges that the former Derry City man will know that Brandywell will go to a test. difficult for visitors.

"Listen, if the pressure is on us after 180 minutes of football, we have to really ask ourselves some questions," he insisted.

"There are 36 games at a minimum and there is definitely no pressure. The pressure on us is from ourselves, from the point of view of our performance.

"We have to make sure that we play to our strengths and play at the levels we are capable of playing and, look, I'll let everyone else say what they want to say, but Wardy comes to Brandywell, me." He knows it's a difficult game because we know it's a difficult game.

"Look, I'm very, very confident to get in the game and I think it's a game that we can show what it's about, but we also understand that bohemians are a good part and they come here to make it difficult for us. "

Devine has a completely fit team for tonight's match and feels if his team can replicate their training performance in games, then they won't be too far away from achieving that first success of the campaign and he also thinks that the competition for places is continuing to heat up.

"We have a few blacks, but everyone will be good enough, and the competition for places is tough," he added.

"A guy like Colm Horgan, who has been sensational since he came to the club, is waiting for the first minutes on the field.

"We have real competition in the middle of the park and you just have to look at the advance line. People have noticed Stephen Mallon, who has really settled in, Moussa Bakayoko hasn't played yet, while we have Jamie McDonagh, (Tim) Nielsen, (Walter) Figueira and (Adam) Liddle up, so we got a lot of good players.

"This I said, from the offset, that we will have good players and that we will receive the best 11 on the field for any given game is the key.

"We have to choose teams that win certain games, and some other teams will win other games, but we are only focusing on Bohemia this week and if we can get the performance I see daily in training, then we will be fine."
