I'd start Freeman and keep Andy or Dillon in reserve.

If he could get freeman playing the way he was 12 months,ago, I'd agree with you

[Farrandeelin]

What about Sweeney moy? Surely to God he's as good as the 2 that went on the last day.

Good luck with that. Freeman plays under Horan like there s a sniper in the stand. That s no good for where we re at.

Sweeney might be no worse than the other 2 but at the same time he s just another way of losing a game. Even in the league he couldn't keep ball in contact. His decision v Derry was enough for Horan obviously. After the last day the penny should have dropped with Horan about the others.

What decision? Sweeney got 3 from play v derry, well worth a run imo

Jebus Moy , we have to live with what we have though.

Sweeney blew a chance to finish the game v Derry. That s the decision making that s killing us. I didn t bring up Sweeney but seeing as somebody has might as well face facts. He get s turned over far too easy. But run him by all means. He can hardly be much worse - or even as bad.

Unfortunately so

Surely it would have dropped before the last day if  it was ever going to drop? He also seems intent on destroying Freeman's self-confidence. When he was forced to give him a proper run in the team last year he was maybe a 15th minute substitution away from an All-Star and yet he gets a clatter off Hennelly before the game at the Hyde, looked borderline to play, is bottled up in a defensive game where no one shines for Mayo from play and he's hardly seen again. Third choice sub in the forwards against Cork.

If Horan read the game better Mayo would have won at least one of the last two AIs. It would be a shame for him to take a team so far on the road only to become the thing that also stops them from getting over the line.

I'm not Freemans biggest fan but i do think he's worth his place, people say he was poor v  Ross but the supply was shocking .

When you re playing inside for Mayo the supply is always shocking.

This looks to be a horses for courses year for Horan. So I'd expect our team to be slightly tailored for Kerry. We'll probably get the previous starting team named for the Kerry game with the usual unusual tweaks. Instead of looking 100% at our Forward options as potential subs to close out a game - Is there any place for Parsons, Feeney (I know, stuck record stuff), Gibbons and Keane. Keane's goose looks to be cooked as a full back, but as a half back he is well competent and suited to the role. What I'm trying to say is a substitution such as this frees up a player such as Keegan or Vaughan for a forward role toward the end of a game. Same with Parsons for say Aidan to go FF when he is usual shagged come the last 10 minutes of a game.

He wasn't THAT bad the last day was he?

It could be a lot better imo,  id have Cillian as CHF if it were up to me and Doc in  closer and when Andy comes on id have him on the hf line too.

No. Cillian would be great at 11 but dynamic besides is not right. Aidan at 11 is a great plus for us. I d play Barry now at 14 as well. Maybe hold Andy in reserve until he gets his studs right anyway! As Bunker says we have to look at roles for Gibbons and Parsons. The inside forward options are not there at all. Obviously Feeney is wasting his time and Freeman is a gonner too.
