Why would Corofin sack their manager?

[restorepride]

Not long now!

Greenlough sacking their managers after winning 3 out of 4 games??!!!

What's the story there?

Enda Lynn has informed his Greenlough teammates that he won't be playing this season, due to the committee's decision to sack the manager.

Yep, sacking Conway has come at some cost!

Championship Week 
Any thoughts on a lineup for Sunday?

Can't remember the week of an Ulster Championship match being as quiet.

Can't remember the week of an Ulster Championship match being as quiet.

What about the last 2 times we played Tyrone in the first round??

Saw a tweet from Big Adrian last night highlighting that 9 [0f 15 I think] minor games scheduled for last night were conceded or postponed.

Weren't quite as bad as this. I mean out and about, around the club & at other games this past week or two no chat of it at all.

If all fit and good to go:

                 Postie
McKaigue  Rogers     Keenan
Mooney    McKaigue  McFaul
        Bradley   McAtamney
Lynn        Cassidy      Heron
McGuigan   Bell         Sammy

You'd assume McKaigue and Rogers will pick up Donnelly / McShane if Tyrone have them stationed inside. You just want the squad to give it everything they have. Can't ask for more. Must remember to pack the ear muffs 

[Real Talk]

Unfortunately JoG its not as simple as going man-to-man and Tyrone have a serious movement in their ranks and lots of pace too. As Shane McGuigan said in the Derry Post this week if we do we will be hammered again ... The Gap in quality is too big to do a 'Liverpool or Spurs' on Tyrone. 

Just hope that the U20's and Minors can continue to raise something positive 'going forward' and get us a solid base of quality and commitment.

[JoG2]

When McShane and Donnelly are playing on the inside, Rogers and McKaigue will marshal them much as McNamee will most likely cover McGuigan. Elsewhere on the pitch is a different animal. Tyrone are a country mile down the road from us on that front. 

[Keyser soze]

We conceded 12 goals against division 4 teams, which if memory serves me right was the highest number of goals conceded by any team across the 4 divisions. This has been an ongoing problem for a number of years and it does not appear to be a problem that Maccers is able to resolve unfortunately as his teams have always tended to be wide open down the middle. There does not seem to be an awareness amongst our players about the importance of closing off space in the scoring zone and that naivety if it persists will be our undoing.

We need to aim to keep Tyrone to c. 13 points all in to have a chance to win this game, if we continue to play to the same system as we have been throughout the league, Tyrone will win pulling up as they have done in the last couple of outings.

Best guess - McFaul lining out in the forwards but deployed much deeper and another forward sacrificed at the expensive of a more defence-minded player.
