James Kielt injured?

[J OGorman]

Came on as sub against Kildare only to go off injured after 10 mins.

[Wildweasel74]

That be us 5 off full first 30, kielt, bell, mcginless, mccloskey and possible bradley, so 3 or 4 starters off full strength for the year, though 2 of them are our best forwards

[quiganmaster]

Who are the 2 best forwards? What's our championship team then weasel in your opinion?

[Never beat the deeler]

Interesting that Parsons was moved to wing forward when Barry Moran came on on Sunday although with no great success - Could he do a job there??

No. Is the short answer. His shot selection the last day was poor.

That's true but our other options there are hardly free-scoring, Carolan, Doc, Higgins, Feeney.....

Carolan not an option this year, I'm afraid.

Interesting times for Horan's Mayo. Starting team (well, forward 6) is less settled now than this time last year - I think a 'horses for courses' approach will make us less predictable, I only hope its not our own players who are scratching their heads!

personally I wouldnt dream of changing any of the three listed forwards (13-15) come championship time on current form. Though much can change between now and then.

[macdanger2]

Any team news??

[sheamy]

Horan with no respect for his supporters again. You'll have to take what crumbs fall from the cute hoors table. Dublin and Mayo seem to be the most secretive outfits in the country. Not sure why.

[mrhardyannual]

Get off your high horse Sheamy. Anyone who has been at the league matches could pick this team. Barring injuries the backline has one place open, midfield is cast iron and barring injuries the forward line will feature Keith, Andy, Kevin Mc, Freeman, Cillian and Doc. Where is the "no respect". Pot calling kettle.......

[Farrandeelin]

Arra don't mind him hardyannual, although maybe they're wondering about Cillian's glutes.

Watch out Zulu, JoeMamas will be after you for disrespecting AOS. 

[Syferus]

Aside from Barrett coming back that looks pretty much like the Mayo side that will start the championship campaign (in Ireland) unless the other O'Shea or Moran can dislodge Gibbons.
