I would be more than a wee bit worried about  this Saturday's game.
Derry took the piss a bit last year and they are undoubtably a better side at the same stage this year. I also think that Tyone are a bit behind where they were at this stage last year, so those 2 factors together could lead to an embarassing night.
Hopefully through fear of being completely embarassed by Derry can lead to the senior guys lifting the performance a bit, but the intensity and workrate from the half back and half forward lines is missing and probably will be until the middle of the championship. Also in the middle of the field McGinley or Cavanagh (Sean) need to start, to workhorse players such as Holmes and Hughes don't work together.
Here's hoping but probably a night when Red Hand children should be kept at home and away from the TV

Zaptista, you're some of Devines weren't great the last day but I think Curran's kicking is a level below that again and if there is any sort of a wind on Sunday it could be scary biscuits time.

Strong team would expect a good few substantial second-half runouts for some of the key subs.
I do worry though when I see Curran in goals against any strong fielding team, I think his kick-outs are a real weakness at this stage and will never forget his nightmare performance (in terms of kicking) at Celtic Park last year when I think he hit 3 or 4 woefully short kickouts that Derry converted for scores.
I understand the need to give him game time not that Big Packie is out but I wouldn't have chosen Kerry.
