Rochford was very slow to make changes in my opinion. I would have SOS off as I felt he was not playing well and parsons in. His tackling is off as well. Dillon and freeman offered nothing when they came on. Pace is gone from Dillon as well. On the positive, look we got the win and I would imagine it could be hard to get really worked up for Westmeath as they would have felt they were always going to win this. Vaughan/Moran played well as did Barrett when he came in. I would prefer Barrett in the corner with Higgins the other side. They is no hiding from now on so we are gone if the same display is dished out. I would imagine they should improve a lot and we need to drive in the early ball.

I think he must start because he sets the tone for the whole forward line. I don't think he faded in the second half just ball didn't go into him. I think the sweeper system is not working and is actually inhibiting the half back line particularly Keegan who is a shadow of himself this summer. If DOC is fit next week it's a 50 50 game and Mayo have big game experience in spades. Im delighted that they didn't win by 16 or 20 points last night because we've seen that movie before and it doesn't have a happy ending. The players know they have the ability but know they must improve and that's the best place an athlete can be heading into the sharp end of a season.

I am not convinced if McLoughlin is a defense minded sweeper. He does interchange with Boyler who is a good holding presence and can read the game well. A key requirement. The one thing I like in Keith Higgins is that he is reasonable sound with the ball in contact and difficult to dispossess. With a blanket/zonal defense he has ability to probe and burst through. Yesterday's game wasn't his best by his own standards and willing to reserve judgement on his forward role till after Tyrone. Momentum building and Tyrone rightly favourites. Anyone know if more tickets will be released during the week?
Dublin Upper Tier Season Ticket holders will be seated in the Upper Cusack Stand as normal.
