Do we still think Paudi Mc Grogan will get himself fit enough to hold down a place in Derry team, thought he looked really off the pace and seemed to struggle to get up and down pitch in half back role. Unbelievably hard to get back to fitness needed after the bad injury he had.

Time is on his side before the NFL, but he looked badly off the pace on Sunday. His pace and mobility are not as good as they were. I hope this is just part if his journey back, and not a permanent impediment resulting from his injury.

As jb said, they were very flat. Pretty much the whole team. They looked like a team devoid of energy. Sometimes you get games like this when there is so much expectation. Hopefully just a blip.

Is the Mfelt keeper putting his hands up for county bck up. We been needing somebody to clock over 2 pointed frees. Though our last forerae into a outfield keeper in nets didn't go well!

Corner forward wasn't he, how does his other goalkeeping traits look

He's their 3rd choice, great striker of the ball though

He started the past couple of years in the half forward/half back line. 2 cruciates at a young age really hampered his senior development. I believe Mfelt's keepers are both out for the year so have had to draft him in.

Fair play to him for putting his hand up and going in goal. That's probably his best game in goal for us. The 2 point frees are massive in the game now so if he can get consistency he could be an option at county. James Murray, Rory small and cahir spiers could possibly go into the county next year but certainly in the next couple of years.

I heard this was the case, hopefully he recovers fully.

I would hope Meenagh can talk Scullion back into the squad, a really good keeper.
Best keeper of the weekend that I saw and I only missed 2 games was Peter Stuart Bellaghy. Couple of the point blank saves he pulled off were superb.

jb77

Great keeper and can kick points off the ground, its a pity his only travels to owenbeg are for club and abit of GK coaching

Derry need seriously analysis the goalkeeping position for nxt year. It's now such a pivotal position. They need bck up keepers 2/3 all playing of the same hymn sheet nxt year. And preferably the ability to kick 2pters. It amazes me Lynch can kick a ball 60+m but couldn't kick a 45 or long free. He was tried a couple of times and was missing then straight in front of the posts. Armagh cost themselves the game against Kerry cause they wouldn't sub the keeper when he got cleaned out on his kicking about 10times in a row.
