Afraid it looks unlikely, Christ this Mayo defeat looks even worse watching Roscommon in that first half.

Well that turned around fairly quickly didn't it.

So first part complete, Galway lose.

Now Mayo have to win round 2 and 3, so sit tight for the next few weeks until that is done.

Can we please just concentrate on Saturdays game!

Surprised they made the trip to Down a week early but no harm to acclimatise nice and early

Hopefully this feeling of things being 'off' will disappear with a solid performance against Down.

Thats the hope. I can understand players are frustrated, but maybe we take it as positive and that their will to win is causing this.

Team selection will be interesting and Paddy Tally has the experience to put in place a system which Horan P1 and Rochford failed to breakdown.

I really think he needs to put his trust in the younger players, with the senior players on the bench who can and will have massive impacts. They subs used could be vital in the outcome.
I can't see COC playing a big part and he will be targeted from the off.

Who are the main threats from a Down perspective?

There was a team meeting/training session in Bangor yesterday.
David Clarke was present.

I feel like the David Clarke rumour flies around every year. They'll be right some time, I suppose!

Greg Blaney. Mickey Linden. Ross Carr. Enduring names. Small boys out the back garden, branches for goalposts...

It does but the Jamie rumour beats him to it in Armagh every year.

It might even be the source, lost in translation and all that.

In 2001 maybe 😂

Mark Poland still playing?

You never know. I always wonder what the motivation is behind such rumours.
But then it could be something a simple as someone making the statement that a player might call it a day this year and then that morphs into a rumour that they are definitely walking away.

do down have any small fast attacker who can blitz past higgins and in for a goal chance.

A bit of truth? I honestly can't imagine Clarke being too happy with the situation. The guy won an All-Star the same year he was dropped in a final and has been more than solid every time he's started. Let's hope now if there was some discontent in the camp, it's been put to bed - Saturday's a huge game for us.

Horan will start Hennelly 100%, which is ****ing infuriating. **** the kickouts, we need to have the best shot stopper we have between the sticks as we will give up goal chances

I gave Hennelly big kudos for the League Final but time for Clarke to come back in.

If not we are doomed.

Clarke has to start
I’m sick of even having to debate it
He is quite simply a much better goalkeeper
The position they both play in

If he doesn’t start on Saturday and we still beat our div3 opponents I’ll still be very worried about the management

In fairness to Higgins you wouldn’t have to be particularly fast to blitz past him at this stage. Still a quality player but he should either be sweeping or playing up in half forwards in my opinion. Leaving him one on one with any decent forward is asking for trouble in 2019.

Roscommon must be winning or Mayo are losing since your back on the GAA forums!

I've come to like Hennelly and the way he has bounced back from adversity. He was brilliant in the league, no question, but the league is what most of the top teams use as a warm up for the championship.

Clarke is proven all day long. Hennelly unfortunately always has a clanger in his locker.

I only appear around the championship because there's not much going on in this forum at other times of the year. Particularly for a Roscommon supporter. Other forums have much more in-depth discussions during the league or club seasons.

As I explained to you the last time you said this.

Nah, anyone can easily see you were around all of the time the great league run Rossies had

As you said yourself, https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=99149578&postcount=1872

Anyway, you'll be around for the next 2 months for the in-depth discussion championship discussions.

Think we all know on this forum at this stage

What sort of starting team are we expecting for the weekend?

Clarke or Hennelly?

AOS and DOC in the middle? Assuming COC will not be risked from the off?

Clarke has to come in. Also COC has to start. Doc to midfield and mcloughlin to the half forwards. If Carr is fit, put him in instead of regan

Was going to try get gaa go but at 10 pound a game i dont think so.
