Kenny Shiels keen to manage Derry City expectations after flying start

Derry City manager Kenny Shiels says finishing in the top five in this season's League of Ireland would represent success for the club.

The Candystripes will go top of the table if they avoid defeat against third-placed Shamrock Rovers at the Brandywell on Friday night.

"The big five are probably Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers, Cork, Galway, St Pats...even Bohs are in there as well. To break into that would be something we really want to achieve," said Shiels.
