Mayo are very average would expect ros to win after beating a fancied Galway
Quote from: cornetto on June 10, 2018, 08:43:24 AMHome advantage against a side that just lost to Carlow and concede 2-22 to them is called a battling performance now?
The Meath v Tyrone match shows that in a knockout situation teams will raise their game.not many gave Meath any chance but they came so close.
Mayo done what they needed to do against limerick.
Derry put in a battling performance against kildare.
Waterford really got the day started with their win.
Looking forward to the draw on monday,it should throw up some novel pairings.waterford v leitrim or Sligo!!!
Quote from: galwayman on June 07, 2018, 08:35:34 PMWould be a surprise if Kevin Walsh drops Sweeney from his half back line and isn't Heaney playing a type of sweeper role?Quote from: Duine Eile on June 07, 2018, 08:32:35 PMA line of Kelly Bradshaw & Heaney would do fine for me.Quote from: GalwayBayBoy on June 07, 2018, 07:45:44 PMQuote from: Orchard park on June 07, 2018, 05:00:42 PM
Think Bradshaw will be gone after June 17th persoonally
He's been playing fairly well of late to be fair but he's obviously up there in age now. He's probably going to be phased out over the next 18 months or so. O'Donnell seems to have lost his place already.
Sean Kelly's display against Mayo and Sligo has cemented Gary's place on the bench you'd think, Bradshaw seems to do 50, 55 minutes and then he's goosed, this is probably our weakest line, if we had Daithí Burke, McDaid and Dylan Wall available it could be one of our strongest. Anyway, swings and roundabouts, we don't have them. I can see Cathal Sweeney getting a serious roasting some day though.
Brad having a good season overall up to now.
Quote from: ballinaman on June 07, 2018, 02:54:37 PMFew stronger midfield pairings at U20 level this year.Quote from: Blowitupref on June 07, 2018, 02:03:50 PMStrong midfield !

3. Sean Mulkerrins (Oileain Arainn)
4. Conor Campbell (Claregalway)
5. Jack Glynn (Claregalway)

Roscommon will need to do something about their loose defence before facing Galway on June 17th.Quote from: Farrandeelin on June 07, 2018, 08:50:55 AM
I hope our forwards can rack up a big score in this one, for a change. Also Brendan Harrison and Vaughan are reportedly injured for us. I wonder who will be in midfield? It's a worry from now on.
Kevin McLoughlin and Danny Kirby were the midfield pairing against Roscommon for most the game last week believe it or not. Neil Douglas meant to have had a great game in the corner too
Why would we need to worry about defending with the forwards we have?

Quote from: GalwayBayBoy on June 06, 2018, 10:39:12 PMOut with a hamstring injury i have been told.
I see one of Galway's best minors of recent years if not the best, Evan Murphy, is not on the U-20 panel this year. Heard a rumour he had left it alright. Anyone know the story there?
Quote from: rosnarun on June 06, 2018, 05:10:56 PMMayo only blow teams out of the water that are poorly organized in defence. Donegal 2013 probably hung over after their All Ireland success and were all over the shop in defence that day v Mayo, Sligo in 2015 and they haven't learnt much going on last Sunday game v Galway and Roscommon last year who probably used up all of energy in the drawn game.
not saying they wont but mayo rarely blow weaker team out of the water ,
well apart from Donegal or Roscommon
Quote from: twohands!!! on June 05, 2018, 09:29:51 PMIts a feature of Div 2 teams this year it seems. Cavan gave loads of space to Donegal and were destroyed,Tipp against Cork likewise and remains to be seen how much space Cork and Roscommon will give to Galway and Kerry in the provincial finals.Quote from: Hound on June 05, 2018, 09:04:19 PMQuote from: Dinny Breen on June 05, 2018, 10:16:55 AMYep, he's nothing like Gooch, a poor comparison.
He scored 1 point from play against Clare, hardly the second coming of Gooch.
He's very accurate and clinical any time I saw him as a minor but doesn't have much pace. Cooper though had a fantastic game intelligence but that develops over time, people will just need to give Clifford time and patience.
He's already a big man though, and what he was supposed to be very good at v Clare was winning ball and laying it off. Seems to have plenty of game intelligence, not the quickest but has a burst in him, and well able to kick scores.
There's plenty of people in Kerry who think Sean O'Shea is going to be even better. As a Dub, I didnt relish him kicking over a few long range frees!
But good for both of them that Geaney is still the main man and O'Donoghue showed some signs of coming back to form. Seems the plan might be to play him as a playmaker 11.
Perhaps Dublin's biggest weakness is if you can get 1-on-1 with their full back line. They're not great man-on-man, bar Cooper maybe. But you need to play 6 forwards to stop them having a sweeper, and then that leaves the Dubs even more dangerous at the other end.
There was one play in the highlights on TSG where he won a ball and set up Geaney with a lovely dummy. The thing was he had half a chance to shoot himself but he made the smart play and set up Geaney for a much higher percent almost tap-over effort. For a young lad of 19 on his intercounnty championship debut it was very smart/composed play.
Overall on Kerry I doubt any team will give Kerry as much space as Clare appeared to give them.
