I asked this on the Armagh vs. Cavan thread, but I was wondering if Jamie Clarke will be in good enough shape to help the county right away after he returns from his Louise and Clarke expedition.  Maybe Jamie playing in 3-minute bursts will be enough to stick the ball in the net.  Also, I like Tony Kernan, but if he plays and Jamie plays, who has to sit?

Jamie will be back shortly and will be in good enough shape. He looks after himself and is not a big party man,much prefers the mochas to the mojitos!  He was in fine shape returning from NY last year and that was on a lads break.

It is really a toss up between Johnnny Waah TK, Mallon and McParland for 2 spots.  Tactically Iwould be inclined to start the 2 Cross lads as they would workvery hard for 40 to 45 minutes and win a lot of lose dirty ball.  As the play opens up going into the last 15 minutes I think Mallon and McParland would get a lot of joy from the space being created.

Sure he was probably running about 3000m up in the Andes, the air in Breffni Park will be like rocket fuel.

If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Hanratty won't be on the championship team - nor should he be. If the national league has shown us anything it is that he's a very good club footballer on his day but short at county level.

It's all about opinions I suppose, I know he has more in him than he showed during the league games.  He has got his head down now and working hard on his game.

Vernon has a broken bone in his foot so is unlikely to be fit.

1. P Mc Evoy - Yeah.
2. J Morgan - Yeah.
3. B Donaghy - Yeah.
4. P Mc Keown - Shields has as good a shout for this spot.
5. A Kernan - Yeah.
6. K Mc Keever - Will play at 7.
7. F Moriarity - An option for 6, but probably behind Toner and McKenna.
8. K toner/J Lavery - Lavery will definitely play.
9. S Harold - Yeah.
10. C Rafferty/T Kernan - Rafferty will definitely play.
11. C Vernon - As has been said, he's injured. A Forker would be my choice for this spot. Hanratty, Mallon and even E Rafferty could come into the mix.
12. K Dyas - Yeah.
13. G Mc Parland - Probably played himself out of the team in the last couple of league games. T Kernan looking a lot more likely.
14. S Forker - Yeah.
15. J Clarke - Yeah.
