Declan cassidy fading after a good start to the year then? Is Baker now a first choice for championship after a solid League campaign? Only one of the new call ups that has been consistent

Gilmore? Murphy has been very good when on the pitch. Declan didn't have a great half yesterday, skewed an effort for a point, couple of wayward passes, but was involved in a few good moves, scored a goal. Good man to have in the squad but not a starter.

Baker has had more time than the other young players, and really does look like a starter. Gilmore and Murphy look like great young players and may well lock down places later in the year (or next year). Lachlan Murray is starting to show again after a poor enough season last year. Hopefully he gets a bit of game time next weeks and cements the improvement. I agree about Declan Cassidy. Good man for coming on later in the game.

Baker has done really well. He is athletic and understands our patterns of play and times his support runs excellently. Grt through the transition. His weakness is on the few one to ones that todays games allows,  he has been to easily gone bye, his tackling in one to one needs improvement. When all our defenders are fit I do not see him starting. I see McCloskey, McAvoy, McKaigue, McGrogan, McKindless & Doherty.

For me Baker has been the find of the season.
I think he's a starter and with a fully fit panel, McKaigue should be the one to drop out.
I'm going to predict that McKaigue will struggle most against the dubs. He won't have the pace and will resort to fouls.

From what I've seen of Gilmore, he's certainly an option. Murray was injured I think for periods last year and in the early stages this year, so I think he just needs a run. Has shown enough imo to be in with a shout.
Any updates on Oisin McWilliams?
Murphy and exciting prospect, I can see him as being a real potent impact sub.

Murphy isn't as young as people are thinking, won a MacRory cup in 2017 with Lynch, McCloskey, Declan Cassidy etc and has played in 3 County Finals with Magherafelt. He was unfortunate with the injury after his brilliant performance V Tyrone.

[Mario]

Why has he not had more game time since? I thought he'd be straight back in to first 15 but management seemed to prefer Murray and he finally rewarded them for that.

[God14]

There's a bit of Kevin McManamon about Cormac Murphy. An ideal impact sub, pacey & direct. You know what he is going to do, but its still difficult to stop him.

Did Toby47 not say he got injured. Was it a broken bone in the wrist?

I meant since he came back from injury. He's came on games when I thought he'd start

Was Oisin cut from the panel last week? Long term injury that hasn't cleared up I think.

Conor McGrogan and Dan Higgins still there?
