Whatever about what may or may not have gone on behind the scenes pre-season, it seems McGleenan now, at least, has a panel of motivated players working together and pride in the jersey seems to be there.
Much tougher tests in the coming weeks will test the solidity of those foundations and McGleenan's credentials too, but for the moment it's good to see some green shoots poking above the ground in spring.

threw away two big leads. looking like will lose it now

Syferus

That was as big time as it gets in this division, going to Tipp, probably the best team in the division, conceding three goals and being seven points and much later on six points down and winning it.

We have a load of flaws but my God can these lads play football. They don't know when they're beat.

That is some win for the Rossies. They are probably a bit cuter/fitter than Tipp.

Well done on the win, sounds like a complete roll reversal from yer game with meath where ye should have had and comfortable win, we should have done the same here. Roscommon have the easiest run in now and should get promotion from here. wide open between all the rest

We Can only imagine with fear the might of Ros when they actually bother to train.

SHEEDY

down were terrible today and were beaten comfortably in the end by a cork team who aren't great either. mark collins the stand out performer for the rebels. down on this showing will be looking at the bottom end of the table, poor day.

Encouraging that we ran up a good score today.
Confidence should be high heading to banjo country next Saturday.

McStay has a better panel than last year, a number of experienced lads have come back and the panel have bought into McStays methods. Dont forget they were one point away from a Semi Final last year even I accept that they went down badly in the replay.

The only experienced player back who is starting is Niall Daly and he was there for part of the league last year. It's still essentially the same team that won Connacht last year, so what you said is a bit of lazy analysis. Ciaran Lennon at FF, a young lad, is the big revelation so far this season.
