Colm Boyle injured his back during the game and had to be subbed. We also had just lost Jason to an ACL injury a week previous against Donegal. It was definitely chaotic in terms of preparation last year.

Diarmud O’Connor was just back from a broken wrist and just as not 100 percent . Even diarmud would probably agree . We had tom Parsons come in I think also . Another man who just hadn’t the pace back after all he had being through . Lee was back recovered from the shoulder injury from the league campaign . That was our 2 goals coughed up . For some reason I think there was also a fitness reason with Marty Ruane also . Not to mention Cillian was also not niggle free either . So clearly there are notable differences in our ability to take on Dublin from last year . To think we went in 2 up at half time was a phenomenal performance from our team with so many injuries .

Was adamant it will happen due to Horans lack of ability to react "in game". This man and his family are big Mayo supporters but said Rochie always tailored games to the opposition which is very true. I think this is entirely what Dublin won’t do . Yes they will try to impose them selves on the game early on as expected . But to think for a minute Dublin will go all out whoopass is wrong . In fact if they do that they will play into mayos chaotic hand and an all out gun sling of a first 20 minutes would favour our type of game . It would leave space up front and allow us to create goal scoring chances. Most likely they will target our weak areas early on to gain dominance . Kickouts , a high press . Midfield . That alone should be enough to control in the manner in which their game can be imposed on the opposition . It’s a key to us also having some form of parity or better means our game plan can be imposed . So key areas must be sorted . Mclaughlin as sweeper and O’Shea moving out for moving quarters .

Looking at latest reported cases on 10th Dec, we are #2 after Dublin for that days reported cases which seems bad considering our population. We are a bit better on the 14day average but cases are on the rise in the county. Hope people are sensible with their gatherings for next Sunday. it’s making me think twice

If the weather is really windy, hailstones and the like, could really make Dec 19th a bit of leveller. The last league game Dublin played (with a crowd) was in torrential wind and rain. A low scoring game. And Tyrone won by 3 points in Omagh. When Dublin beat Kerry in 2015 and it was on a dirty day in the lashings of rain. It was a very low scoring game as a result. Plus any time I have been to the West of Ireland 'a nice soft day', is almost classed as nice weather. Plenty of practice for the Mayo lads. So I think Mayo would love a manky, very cold, windy, rainy, day in Dublin next week.

I'd agreed from watching Dublin and Ballymun Kickhams Small has performed well but IMO he isn't quite there yet vis a vis Paul Mannion. Fair play re your familiarity with the Dublin club scene. All now makes sense re Howard. Definitely to our advantage he appears to have not been willing to put in the whole nine yards.He has been without a doubt one of their truly outstanding players in recent years. I've seen much speculation Sean Bugler might make way for him.
wirelessdude01 wrote: » Who do you drop from thr 15 that has been starting? Paddy Small more 5hsn deserves his place going on club form during the summer and also what he has done since he got the 13 jersey. From what I've heard Mannion was injured earlier in the year, rushed his comeback for Crokes and suffered further injury and has had form since he came back. Howard is someone that for me didn't work hard enough during the enforced break. Saw him twice for Raheny and he wouldn't have caught the eye and was carrying timber.

gormdubhgorm wrote: » I am curious now. Which manager do you think could get more out of the players available? Either from Mayo currently or fellas that would have expressed interest in the past? Because I think the Mayo job would be a dream job for any intercounty manager. Low expectation, but seems to be talent coming through. Mixed with the old heads. I think Horan has the hard part done for any future manager, and blooded the younger lads.
