Athlone Town manager Stephen Kelly is without Padraig Moran and Graeme O’Keefe for the visit of Cobh Ramblers to St Mel’s Park tonight.
Moran is out due to a knee injury while O’Keefe is suffering from a hip complaint.
Kelly said: "Obviously I'd like to see a similar performance and result from last week. We've said it all along, consistency. It didn't work the week before against Galway, but the players put in an excellent performance last week."
"It's as simple as that. They have raised the bar. They have set themselves new levels now, and it won't be tolerated if they drop below them. The players have to aspire to hit those levels week in week out, and if they do, they'll give themselves long careers in the game. If they don't, theres no point playing one week, and not playing for the next four."
Kick off at St Mel’s Park is 7.45pm.
