McNamee and Hughes a surprise for me.

[Redhand Santa]

McNamee and Hughes a surprise for me.

Both earned there start based on mckenna cup. Mcnamme seems to be improving as he goes along. Thought justy deserved a start.

McNamee and Hughes a surprise for me.

Not so much Mc Namee on his most recent shifts in that slot, but Hughes maybe. Good to see Tierney in the half-backs, but Mc Carron in the LEFT corner?

McCarron has played there before. Don't think CB is best place for him though. Not a good enough man marker. Better on front foot.

Would agree, though hope I'm proved wrong.

I thought Justin at FB and perhaps a slot for McAliskey in the corner with McCurry moving back to the half forward line. Thought he was lively v Cavan in the second half feeding ball into Niall and Sean.

Have we any man markers?

[Carmen Stateside]

Dont know were they think they are going with no Carmen men.  Short year this year for sure.

Did McCarron not get his all star nominee playing in the corner? I think its a strong enough team, good to see Peter Hughes getting a run, he's a decent player and is a playmaker which we need. Surely we will be more direct this year, not much point having Sean in there if we don't get the ball in quicker than we have been in the past few seasons.

[Redhand Santa]

Mccarron definitely needed in the corner. Good going forward but a decent marker and we don't have many of them. Good to see Harte trying to address some of the issues from last year early on.

Mccarron will help with our weakness at corner back. Quinn also getting a go though injured for this one. We needed another big presence around the middle and mcnulty getting a go there. McCann also brought in as another option.

Half forward line was very poor last year and the players didn't get on the ball anywhere near enough. Lot of changes there. Don't think this weekends would be strong enough come championship but all good players and good to see them get a to. Lack of presence and ball winners in full forward line was other big issue. I'm hopeful cavanagh and McKenna can form a good partnership that would make a difference there and give us more direct option.

Based on McKenna cup tierney is the one player probably lucky to start especially ahead of justy. Didn't look the player going forward that he did for Omagh. But it's early days and well worth a go.

The league will tell us a lot about the changes. Hopefully we can make a bright start and compete in all games. I'm not sure the team ever really recovered last year from that hammering in Kerry.

Noticed the chemistry between Sean and Niall.  They played great off each other.  Add in Mc Curry and I feel we are moving towards an exciting f/f line. 
I like the way we are going.

Peter Harte injured?

[The Bearded One]

Peter Harte injured?

Took a blow to the head last Saturday night, went off after it. Assume he is recovering from concussion.

[sensethetone]

Will this match be moved from Omagh tomorrow night?
