Roscommon County Chairman Seamus Sweeney to John Evans in 2015

"He (Evans) rang me and asked me what my thoughts were on him staying on. I told him that, as far as I was concerned, it was time to him and Roscommon to move on."

After 3 years of poorly conditioned teams and failing to develop any type of defensive structure against average teams (Cavan, Armagh) and good to very good teams (our 3 qtr final games), what are the thoughts of our chairman on a 4th year of this? Doubt we'll hear boo...

+1.

Home tired but not surprised at the expected walloping.
Smallest Ros crowd I've ever seen at a Championship match. Jases we got more at D4 games!!!
I won't go into rant mode ad that was all said 2 weeks ago.
What a pity our expensive management hadn't given Dana Petit a few games in winter,  Spring and Summer!!!
To think they dropped Kelly from the panel earlier in the year.
Bright spots - some ooints Diarmuid and Donie. What has the latter to do to get a starting place?
Do the dacent thing Kevin and Liam.
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

the same people who wanted Evans to get an extra yr now not willing to give mcstay 1. despite 3 CFs 1 nestor promotion to D1 and stayed in d1 for a year also.

it matters little who the manager is IMO as we have limited playing personal.

Roscommon have been pathetic, no defence plan but outside of that whenever a team gets any momentum on them they buckle
You can forget about Sean Cavanagh as far as he's a man!

The Hill is Blue

 Cormac Costello with nine points was excellent today. He made a strong case for inclusion on the first fifteen. Paul Flynn and Eoghan O'Gara also played very well. MD McCauley is maintaining the excellent form which he has shown all year.

Jim Gavin has much to think about.

Even a team full of limited playing personal can defend better than Roscommon are currently doing.

Here is a quote from James Horan

"Roscommon have numbers back in defence but their isn't any desire to put any tackle in,to slow down the opponent or to make them turn or to push and keep them out. They don't show any of the basics or understanding in defensive play"

Hard to disagree with any of that but the question is will improvement happen or will it be Déjà vu for Roscommon again next summer.

It doesn't speak well for the 25-26 counties below us if we're so useless according to Father Horan..

No it doesn't, but an all Ireland intermediate title beckons for ros

exactly there are players back but they are not good enough. the desire is clear when you see how some players try and get back. how else can you explain players being faster running forward then when thet are going  towards own goal or pulling out of tackles etc.

Will probably be against Roscommon in the league next spring before O'Gara is given the same type of space and freedom on the ball.

I think its called players having their minds focused on attacking from the voices of the management and then not having a clue about their defensive duties because little or no work is done in that area. No surprise that the final four in the championship have a strong focus on defending first and attack second.
