At least we don't have to stew for too long.

Said it before the Under 21 final. The result would have no bearing on the (present) senior team bar the lift it would give supporters. Same carries still!

Rossfan · May 03, 2014, 08:38:47 PM

I don't think Evans will be rushing too many of them boys in now - apart from the 6 there already.

Conor D was clearly not 100% today so we'll even see if he's fully fit for two weeks' time. It's very important we don't let the heads drop on the U21s - Murt, Enda and Conor D offer much of the pace that made our attack so hard to stop in the league. Hopefully they can get the bad diesel out of the system in this game and we can look forward to yer arrival in June.

Rossfan - unless Thomas Corcoran is going on a J1 this summer he needs to be in the championship panel. Our midfield options are very limited. I'd add Harney too but he needs surgery and will be lucky to be back for the tail end of the club championship.

Putting 20 yo Corcoran and 19 y.o Harney into the bearpit of Senior midfield might not be the best idea.
Imagine what the Bear O'Sheas would do to them.

Don't think they'd be starting this year but we need a plan b at the middle that isn't Michael Finneran flying up with an aimless hand and breaking the ball down into the bread basket of the position. We really could have used Mango's services this summer, and I don't mean on the sideline.

A stew, not lamb I hope, but I'm looking forward to one....
Still bullish about the date, the Boy Scout motto used to be "bí cúramach".

If we get within 10 points of ye' we'll be doing well, anything under 10 and we're progressing. Ye're a D2 team after all....

On Hoganstand someone's posted that there are problems within the Roscommon camp however hasn't disclosed what has happened, has anyone heard these rumours?

I expect this to run to at least 40 pages .

Evans apparently tried to get the U21s to train with the seniors the day after the U21 final. There was talk about him dropping some of the U21s but everyone saw sense today and all were at a training camp in Portlaoise today.

As Jack O'Connor might have said - " Sure ya can't bate a few shkelps at training".
Kerry won Sam that year. Any chance we might now win Connacht this year

ross4life · May 06, 2014, 05:39:54 PM

C Daly,P Brogan,D Ward won't feature in this game. Won't be many changes to what started v Cavan. Apart from 2011 Leitrim are always up for these games against us. Should be a decent competitive game will be interesting if Leitrim use the same tactics they used in the FBD final? if so we better have plan b to deal with it.

Rossfan · May 06, 2014, 06:41:57 PM

So we're looking at
O'Malley
Seanie Carty Collins
Keenan N Daly Cafferky
Higgins C Shine
O'Gara/E Smith D Shine Stack
Senan Cregg D Murtagh

Why would Enda be a maybe? Had an excellent league campaign. It's between DO'G, Stack and Comp for the other spot on the wing with Conoreen injured. Dunno if any besides Comp would be tasked with playing as a regular wing forward.
