Like all in this division Roscommon are inconsistent, able to beat Cavan who were top and unbeaten last week but couldn't beat Down and Meath at home.

I don't think any of the Div 2 sides have many players left for 2010 which is 8 years ago now. Cork won Munster U21 titles 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016 thats where the majority of their players should come from now and with that underage success they should be doing a lot better than they are currently

We've won our last four games and beaten both of the other teams who can be promoted. The only time we've lost this year at all is when Killer got himself sent off after ten minutes. What exactly is inconsistent about that?
Clare beat Down in Newry with 14 men. Roscommon have played 3 home games so far. 1 win 1 draw and 1 defeat the very definition of inconsistent. To know how inconsistent Roscommon really are then look no further than last summer when one week Roscommon drew with Mayo in a game they should have won and the next week beaten by over 20 points in a contest that was over after 10 minutes.

A closer examination of that game and the replayed Connacht final of 2016 (and the Clare game the following week) suggested an inability or lack of depth to preform at that high a level two weeks in a row. But, sure, 'inconsistent' is easier to type..


Inconsistent

2. adjective
Someone or something that is inconsistent does not stay the same, being sometimes good and sometimes bad.

What you've said is more or less an alternative definition for 'inconsistent'...

I'm just quoting this so you don't delete your post when you realise you missed the point.

I'll give you a buzz when I work out how pointing out you saying Roscommon are inconsistent 4 hours after taking umbrage at another poster saying Roscommon are inconsistent is missing the point.

Unless your point was that the Rossies were inconsistent last year but not this year, but as has already been shown, 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw in your home games this year disproves that point. As does the idea that you are only inconsistent when playing at a higher level.

That's an inexperienced enough looking team that Cork have named.

The only 2 left from the 2010 All-Ireland win are Colm O'Neill and Donncha O'Connor.

However even beyond that there's a serious chunk of lads named there who have never played Division 1 football for Cork.

Also further proof they current Cork football management can't count naming a squad of 27 this time out.

Roscommon will have no excuses if they can't get the win.

entertaining reading all this just now....for what its worth, roscommon, cavan and tipp have been the best 3 teams, cavan and roscommon on the same points, tipp two points behind with one game less played. I dont think any can claim to be the best of the 3. Roscommon beat both but (not having been at the match) tipp were 6 points up with 5 mins to go and listening on the radio the better team for the majority, so on that bases roscommon have been just as inconsistent as the other two in terms of performances and having more or less matching results theyve been just as inconsistent/consistent on that basis. Non of this matters, the two that go up wont care how theyre thought of.

Good team. Mattie looks to be going for it from the off, no holding big players in reserve.

Anyone know where Thomas Galligan is gone?

If inconsistent means being top of the league entering the last round of games having beaten the only two teams who even have a shot at promotion, I couldn't give a shít what we're called. Seven years ago we were hosting Kilkenny in the league.

Over the 6 games to date Ross have hardly strung together much with 70 minutes good football, overall have been under the cost more than they have imposed themselves,  are totally porous down the middle of defence , are only beginning to get midfield sorted yet top the group .......

Good forwards who get a lot of scores in our good spurts (Down game excepted).
Only 1 wide last Sunday and only 2 ten minute periods on top.

Yup. When you have top forwards you don't need 70 mins of being on top. You just get the ball to your best forwards during the periods you are in top.
