Would give us a decent chance (say 40/60) against Tyrone and Monaghan too but wouldn't fancy us against Donegal. I'd rate Down as good as Armagh as well.Quote from: mackers on February 13, 2015, 11:53:03 AMQuote from: seafoid on February 13, 2015, 10:26:38 AMNo chance.
What about Derry ? Could they get the finger out ?
Derry are anything from 5th to 7th best in Ulster (Donegal, Monaghan, Armagh and Tyrone would be above them definitely - we'll definitely see with Down and with Cavan it depends how they shape up).
So poor is a bit much. We've just played the 2 all ireland finalists.
A combination of missing the spine of the team, players like Fergal, Patsy, McBride and McKaigue, playing our best half forward (Big mark) in midfield where he less of a threat, Skinner back but as a bit player, bar Skinner no out and out marquee point machine of a forward, and nor wanting to peak too soon ;-)
