Here's why; By playing Darragh at CF we can pull him out Midfield from the off which covers off on two area's it crowds midfield covering up his lack of mobility and more importantly it creates acres of space for T. Walsh to run into which in turn creates space for Barry John and Cooper to run riot in the FF line. We have scored 1 goal in 3 championship matches and from the semi-final replay and last saturday it was evident or FF line is just too crowded. By giving walsh the space to run into I think that would free up room inside for Gooch and Bj. If sligo persist with the CB and leave darragh free switch darragh with Maher and use Maher as a runner. In my humble opinion, the struggle will continue but home advantage and a noisy boisterous crowd will push Kerry to hold out for a 3 point win.

Last year we had two plans Plan A = kick it in high and if that didn't work go to Plan B = kick it in higher. Jack knows this was Kerry's downfall last year. He will want quality ball going in. Sean Ban is a great man for the diagonal delivery. Declan can run at players drawing in fouls. But Plan B... to tell you the truth I haven't a clue but I hope that they are working on something behind closed doors in Killarney.

Kerry football manager, Jack O'Connor, has sounded a rallying call to the county's supporters to get behind the team in Tralee on Saturday. O'Connor made his impassioned plea -- something similar to a chord he struck in 2006 before the visit of Longford to Killarney -- as rumours of discontent and disgruntlement swept across the county. O'Connor is no stranger to this situation, however, and feels now is the right time for genuine Kerry followers to show their support by getting to Austin Stack Park for Sligo's visit. "The bottom line is that it is a great opportunity for the Kerry supporters to come out and support the team. I think that's the big thing for this week," he said. "I would say it's critical because this team has given pleasure to Kerry supporters over the last five years and they are on a mission this year to reach a sixth final in a row, which is something that no Kerry team has ever done."
