Well the Mayo management have to change the way that hasn't worked for them before and surely the 'football intelligence' is on the side line to get the best system on the field.  They have a brilliant squad of players and they must have known that when you reach this stage of the competition you have got to get your game management spot on.

No other county have had in my time, as good a squad of players and failed to win an AI.

Roscommon in 77-80 were good but only managed to win one semi out of four campaigns.

In fairness tactics have worked ok bar AI finals. Quarter final and semi finals are never the bother tactically! I'm not even going to comment on the farce of a semi final last year. No manager could cope with his two most dangerous players banging their heads off one another and how does a manager deal tactically with Cormac Reilly?

Really. I dunno. I can see all that team starting. Not necessarily in those positions of course.

The guys on the Sunday game pointed out some of our defending against Galway & it was a joke. We looked like headless chickens at times .
It won't be good enough on Saturday & a week is a short time to address it.

We won't have faced as much pressure moving the ball out of defence this campaign either & it will be a real scrap.

Toye has to start,Murphy or McBrearty need to stay north & McGlynn needs to run at the Mayo defence all night.

Our tackling will be under the spotlight so the Mcgees need to be carefull here a red card & it's all over.

Is there any reason behind naming Donal Vaughan number 3 again?

They released the team on a Tuesday?

Get the confusion in early!

The guys printing the programs wanted the teams in early due to holidays!!!!!!!!

Meaningless exercise.

Get the confusion in early!

Isn't today (wednesday) the deadline for naming the 26 for a saturday game anyway? - So they are only a few hours early really.

If the backs line out as they did against Sligo, Donegal will get goals. I can't see that full back lining out as it did v Sligo however.

Well where ever Murphy goes I would like to see Vaughan stuck to him.

Even if that means Vaughan has to curtail his running up the pitch? I think Murphy will be left inside for a long spell of the match to be honest. IF our midfield get on top and he goes outfield, then Vaughan will thrive, but not if he's left at fullback in my opinion.
