Creedon: 'Our forward play really wasn't good enough'

Sligo is a hard one to call...

I feel we can go up there and get the two points talking to a Tipp man Saturday night they were  short  and not long back playing ball when they played them in Tipperary.

Tipp had a player sent off early in the second half and were missing a few regulars esp in the backs.

The let in two very soft goals in the first half he said and despite being ten points behind in the second nearly won it with 14 men.

Armagh were well in front of Sligo as well before they had a melt down.

What look like the weakest team Antrim beat them last Sunday so I feel we have a great chance up there.


I hope there might be one or two more back to help the lads and the game last week should bring on O'Loughlin plus Finn can be another option after getting a bit of game time.

We really need to sort out the back line I think Farrell should be given a chance and I'd push Darren strong up a line or two.

My team

Brody
Kelly
Booth
Attride
Farrell
Begley
Dillion

O'Loughlin
Ramsbottom/Luttrell

Strong
Conway
Donoher

Kingston
Kingston
Finn(3rd midfielder as Creedon likes)


Eoin Lowry must be close to starting as well ...

Hopefully Meaney Walsh Lillis and Sean Moore are not far away ...

I know Quigley Timmons and Damien O'Connor will be another while

You're watching too much of the soccer unlaoised with 3 points but agree nonetheless a tough one to call. If we lose any chance of promotion most definitely gone.

I know some lads might argue about loose markers but I'd very much agree with this formation in the back 7

Dillion deserves a Start and is a great ball carrier.Attride can play corner back in fact he stared fro DCU there in a few games last year.

I think Farrell would add a bit of pace to the back line and Kelly and Booth deserve to keep their spots after the last day.

Strong is better up the park he can make and kick scores I'd love to see him in the free role!

Same team named. Strong continues as a corner back.

Underage football around that age is always poorly organised. It was poorly organised back in the day when I was a wee lad. And Laois had excellent minor teams when I was a minor. So to say it means that football in the county will be poor because of it, is not necessarily true. Having said that, I'd be nice to get it right.

Yes totally off the topic start a new thread there... on times game Sligo are as bad as Laois but I still fear for  Laois going up there.... lads commented on eoin Lowry omg lads his way out of shape I feel for a lad training since October.... we loose we're doomed I think to div 4 and lets be honest div 3 isn't a bad division it's winnable,,, county board for all there will in employing creedon his not tactically aware.. that's the problem

[town1980]

im probably being harsh on the young lowry but i havent seen a thing for him to warrant a start,,,garry walsh a better option or evan o carroll if he has only 10\15 mins in the legs
