Greg Sloggett believes his ultimate aim can still happen this season under the guidance of Steven O'Donnell.
Dundalk midfielder Sloggett faces his old club UCD at Oriel Park tonight in what he admits is a must-win game for the Lilywhites, especially after their five-game winning streak ended in a frustrating scoreless draw at Shels last Friday.
Having catapulted themselves into a title race by beating Shamrock Rovers a week earlier, failing to convert chances at Tolka Park felt like a bit of a momentum killer.
