Now Muldoon is definitely out for it.
Pressures on Joe Diver now.
With no Conway for back up.

Patsy Bradley? 

If he is out I think DC should put James Kilet in Midfield, he is a natural midfielder and played very well there for Derry Minors 2 years ago.

[screenexile]

Starting to get worried about this game. Muldoon, Lockhart, Lynch, McCusker, Patsy Bradley all out!! I know we tried a lot of boys in the league but Monaghan are a Championship team who have been knocking on the door for a few years now and I think we will need to be closer to full strength to beat them.

Anyway my team for Sunday is:

Gillis
McGuckin McCloy GOK
Cartin BMG Sean Leo
Doc Diver
Lynn Murphy Mullan
P Bradley E Bradley S Bradley

E Bradley being out at HF with Murphy

[Logan]

You're kidding right?

You're going to do like last year and play the biggest threat to Monaghan in the half forward line?

Leave EB on the inside line last year Monaghan were delighted to see paddy bradley on the 40 and winning ball where he could do nothing.

Is BMG fit?

Agree with your team except for one - Seamus Bradley.  Thats not in a disrespectful way, I just think in terms of game time throughout the year he wouldn't be a starter come Sunday. Could be wrong!

I would probably play Barry McGuigan there.

I'd love to see GOK out further - he turned the game at the start of the second half last year by attacking and playing up tighter on Damien Freeman who had dropped back.
Also is SLMG ok to play?

If I am picking this up right, then I agree with you, don;t play the two Bradley together as Paddy is likely to be double marked, if they play him out further from goal it'll bring their defenders out and leave Eoin in on his own, a few goals could be the order of the day, eh Kind Larrson??

Think Barry kitted out for Colreraine v Bellaghy and SL didn't, luckily enough we have a good lock of defenders i.e B Mc Alary

GoK usually does play far out in a Ricey type way they he often picks up a point or 2, he is a great sweeping defender.

OL93 - how can you advocate playing J Keilt at midfield in Ulster championship ahead of Diver?  Not ready for that position at senior inter-county for a few years yet if ever.  Wouldn;t have Seamy Breadley or B Mullan on either ideally but I suppose with the injuries there is a lack of options now in the forwards.

Diver can be a bit of a liability of times, I admit it's a bit of a gamble to put him into midfield after just being out of Minors 2 years but It might pay off, no harm in trying it and if it isn't working out then he could be moved to forwards and Diver put in Midfield. Any Kilrea people on here think this is viable?

Well with Lynch injured and E Bradley a viable option on the 40 I think Bumble is our best option as an inside forward along with Paddy. I suppose we will find out when the team is named I guess.

No just play the two boys in the FF line and let the ball in ala Donegal last year

If they struggle, crowd it or double team, then move in either a bigger FF for the boys to play off or bring PB out.
But bringing the best Fwds in the game out the field is ludicrious

I think you'll find out 2 minutes after the ball is thrown up

[Main Street]

Pity there are no Derry fans slagging off Dick Clerkin this year,
worked very well for that Clones game

Bad enough for us to facing one Bradley, but 3 of them?

But if they are played one on 40 on in full forward it'll make it harder for Monaghan to know which one to concentrate on marking, but if they are both in together it solves that problem as they can just crowd out the defence.
