Keith Long says Bohs are fighting a scorched earth issue at Dalymount Park despite the boost of a home Dublin derby victory over Shels.
The 1-0 victory on Friday night saw the Gypsies leapfrog their northside rivals in mid-table ahead of Friday's clash with bitter rivals Shamrock Rovers.
"We were glad to see it out," said Long, after Bohs held on to the lead after Ciaran Kelly's 54th minute red card.
