The Dubliner, who watched his side secure a comfortable 6-0 win over Ballymun United in the FAI Ford Cup last week, feels they need to up their performance if they want to finish on a winning note prior to the mid-season break.

"Although we won convincingly we weren't happy with our display and we know we have a few things to get ironed out for the Bray game," he said.

"We kept another clean-sheet and that was also pleasing, but as I said we have to get better and work on a few things prior to this Friday, but we obviously have one or two players who can come into our squad.

"The display against Ballymun means it's food for thought and I felt some of the players who haven't played in a few weeks looked a bit rusty, but to be fair they were a lot better in the second half.

"But those type of games against Ballymun can be difficult because you have everything to lose, nevertheless we still scored six goals and you can only beat what is put in front of you, so we can't be too critical."

Kenny should have the likes of Peter Hutton and Tam McManus back in their squad, while Kevin Deery and Gareth McGlynn will also be looking for their spot back in the starting line-up, but Stephen Gray misses out through suspension.

Another man who'll be hoping he's in Kenny's plans is 21-year-old striker Aaron Nash, who not for the first time this season was City's hero during their 6-0 rout against the Dublin juniors.

The Galliagh, who earlier in the season came off the bench to head home a late winner against fellow title contenders Cork City, helped himself to a four minute hat-trick against United on Friday evening.

"Fair play to him. Aaron has been out of action for a month. He tweaked his knee ligament in training and he came back and played in the A-team last week, we lost 3-1 but he nicked a goal," said Kenny.

"What can you say? Mark Farren has finished as top league goal scorer twice and Mark is held in such high esteem but he has only had three hat-tricks in his career.

"There are some great strikers who have played for years and have never got a hat-trick, so for Aaron to come along and get one in such a short space of time is just brilliant.

"His finishing was very good, so fair to play to him."
