Duel at Diablo so at the Taj Mahal next Sunday.

Hard to see past a Rossie win after another strong Mayo team made heavy weather of a poor enough Sligo IT side. Still, good to see a game again at a proper league venue in the county. Good attendance too.

We were tripe today and had 10 or 11 of last year's Championship team.
While I know January games are unreliable indicators ... we can't score, have no midfield, and backs leave a lot  to be desired.
I'm getting worried about the season already. :-\

We're going to bring home the SAM

Way to early to be getting worried. Who won this competition the last two years? How did they do after that? Any lad that was a regular last season will be minding himself at this time of the year. Beginning to loosen out his limbs after Conditioning work over the Autumn. Getting ready for bigger fry! There will/should be no going into tackles above 60%. A regular would be mad to do otherwise.

In my opinion you need a fresh face as a manager

Moy, how many you reckon was there today? We were chatting at half time about it. We reckoned about 1200 to 1500 but could be way out!

Looking around from the clubhouse side we were figuring about 2000?

Thought Donal Vaughan did well Mick?

I thought he did OK. Few lads I haven't seen before. Lyons, Dravins and Corduff looked good. Of course the old reliables were as usual, Freeman, Moran and Mac stood out. Looks promising. Might be completely different team next week. They seems to be playing everyone on the panel, giving them all a run out, (those without "paperwork malfunctions"!)

I can't understand why they can't give out attendance? All computer printed tickets. McKenna cup match's all have attendance figures

Will Vaughan be suited to fb come championship time? Who was the ff today for Sligo IT?

Jaysus Larr yer not really going to stick Vaughan in there are ye. In my opinion the worst marker of all of Mayo's starting backs, far more suited to a HF or sweeper role if he has the football IQ to read plays. Sticking him on a man inside and hoping for the best sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

On second thoughts, I think ye should do it!

I'd have to agree with Syf there, wouldn't mind seeing him playing around the midfield / hf line instead of in the hb line

Disagree. I think Vaughan should be explored a bit more in the fb role. I dunno who was playing ff for IT today and don t care really. Let s see Vaughan in a National League game before we dismiss it. To put Sy. at ease Vaughan read the game very well today at 3 and looked comfortable. If anything he looks stronger and his hands were good. No doubting his durability and commitment ever. His looseness at times at chb was down to our tactical approach. He was encouraged to attack at will. He s a top team player and I d give him a good shout at cutting it at fb. Besides we have plenty options 5-12 (our U21 hb line is the best line in the team), but we need somebody other than Caff. that can play 3. Caff. does well on most but Vaughan is a more physical/aggression possibility. First National League game could see Vaughan go up against Donaghy. We d learn more there.

Larry; how in God's name could anybody answer that yet?
But its a good sign the new lads are exploring the possibility.
Look, he ll possibly get another cut at it against Ros next Sunday at the Taj Mahal. If he can deal with a proper blue chip forward then we might be on to something.
