Jordan Flores says he prefers the leading role in a dramatic change from last year.
While Bohemians might have dropped off top-spot after Friday night’s results, with St Patrick’s Athletic leap-frogging them, they remain the only unbeaten team in the Premier Division.
And even more remarkable than that – they have yet to go behind this season.
In nine games so far, none of their opponents have been able to get their noses in front against Alan Reynolds’ side.
Meanwhile, Bohs have led games for a combined total of 299 minutes out of 810 – or 37 percent of their time on the pitch to date in 2026.
They have won five games and drawn four, with only Dundalk managing to stop them from turning a lead into three points. Their three other draws were scoreless.
Midfielder Flores admits it’s a remarkable stat. And it’s one he would like to see continue as the Gypsies prepare for today’s home game against Waterford.
“I think it was the opposite last year, we were actually chasing the games a lot last year and we always finished the games strong,” he said.
“So it is different, but I guess that’s what you want. You don’t want to be going behind in games. Hopefully it continues.”
He is eager to get back to winning ways after they drew their third game in a row when they were held to a stalemate in Drogheda last Friday night.
BOHS’ LEADING ROLE
Bohemians have led in six of their nine games so far – and have yet to fall behind in a League of Ireland match this season.
Of those six games, they have managed to turn their lead into three points, with only Dundalk managing to comeback and claim a draw.
