We've a poor record against them in Castlebar and if they are likely to be inclined to revert to type with many men behind the ball. We've historically struggled with same.Kieran Mc Donald's scan long scan short mantra is a real positive.Quick delivery of the ball into the full forward line if same is on. Our historically laboured lateral build ups will not suffice.Patience will be required on occasion.Retention of possession while probing for an opening if the quick delivery is not available. Donegal on paper are IMO a more complete team than Tyrone.Not sure if Peter Harte will be available on Sunday and Conor Mc Kenna will likely be a real handful for our full back line if he starts inside.

My advice to any keeper under a high ball going up with McKenna would be punch it as far away as you can. Petr Harte if he plays is another handful. Donegal mess him up by putting Ryan Mc Hugh on him. Ryan is not the greatest marker in the world, but he keeps Harte honest in that he is afraid to lose Mc Hugh. Stick Keegan on him. Better marker Ryan Mc Hugh and dangerous if you lose track of him. Harte can get very frustrated if things are not going his way. Playing Tyrone you need the patience of a saint when they get their wall up. But attempting to carry ball into the tackle is suicide. 9 out of 10 times they will strip you and they are gone. If you can knock over a few from distance you will pull them out a bit and leave pockets. But do not kick short. Score or put it dead. Kicking it short will get uou the same as being stripped. Ye have your own version of of McKenna in O`Shea. Leave him in there and another nippy forward to play off him, but if you want to use his height and physicality you need to get the ball in early. If they have their wall in place they are pretty good at dealing with the high ball. They just get bodies around you and do not foul. Anyway, best of luck. I`ll be shouting for ye.

He’s still effective and deserves his place on the team, but I don’t think he can automatically be our go-to man to take care of the opposition danger-man. From what I saw, he fouled a lot in the Galway match, and that was without much pressure being put on. If I was doing a match-up, I’d have Oisin Mullen on Peter Harte, I think. Harte like to roam around a bit. Mullen would be tight on him, but would not be shy in spotting a potential overlap further up the pitch.

The Connacht final versus Sligo he ran amok,he was very effective inside v Donegal in 2015. In those games he has gone inside to mix things or towards the games death when he's been running on empty or Mayo were chasing the game. Donaghy argues his previous positioning for Mayo has failed to get us across the line ( fine margins ) so it's requiring of something innovative. It does normally require a sweeper in front to deal with his threat leaving options further out. The mark should theoretically be advantageous to his deployment inside.
