seriously lads and lassies! WTF is the story with "the Colm Cavanagh project"? Always seems to be the first to get a chance at staking a place in the team, although he has had numerous opportunities already. Must be hard on some of the other "squad" forwards who are continuosly overlooked at his expense!

How good is Kyle Coney? Objectively rather than bias in people's opinion. Is he as good as Stevie?

Certainly not yet. Has the potential though.

Better than Colm Cavanagh however.

At the minute I wouldn't say he is as good as SoN but the potential is certainly there. I'm not sure if you could compare the two however, as they are different types of player. Kyle plays deeper than SoN and is more of a playmaker/score taker as opposed to an all out high scoring FF. Would I be right in saying Kyle wouldn't have the ambidextrous skills of SoN? I personally can't wait to see Kyle develop at senior level as he could be very special. This is my humble opinion on the matter others may see it different!

Subs PMcConnell, G Devlin, M Donnelly, N Gormley, DHarte, J McAnulla, E McCusker, C McGurk, N McKenna, R McMenamin, M Murphy, Sean O'Neill, G Teague

Strong line-out, needed up at in-bred land. Marty Penrose is the man of the hour. 3 ourbo men against the neighbours.

Need a few players to set up to the mark and have a good game. Need the ardboe men to have a good game, hopefully the midfield have a better go at it this weekend.

Midfield as always will be a key area. Hub had one of his comedy nights against Donegal, missing from 21 yards right in front of the posts . Looking forward to see will Cassidy be a contender for a midfield spot in the summer. Have been impressed with him thus far, though League fayre is a big step up from McKenna Cup.

Cassidy had a good game when he came on at the weekend and deserves his chance.

We need somebody to drive Sean to training.

Objectively - at this stage its hard to say just how good he is as he missed most of last year but he certainly has loads of potential. Outstanding vision and can kick the ball exceptionally well. He has a great physique although he could use that to his advantage a lot more than he perhaps does at present but that will come with experience and is pretty quick for a man of that size.
To say he is as good as Stevie would be very premature. He is a totally different type of player to O'Neill and would not be as clinical as him. His style of play would be more in the mould of Brian or Tommy.

Completly different type of footballer. Will never be an out an out fullforward/cornerforward but has the makings of an exceptional wing half forward and with a bit more experience chf. Can take a score and has an excellent range of passing. Has the physique required already, needs to use it a bit more though, for such a young footballer and this will only improve.

The only possible doubt I would have would be his temperament on the big occasions, was very dissapointed with him in last years county final although he maybe wasnt fully fit. He has let it pass him by a few times,maybe being a little harsh as so much has been expected of him.

Its very hard to get excited as a Derry fan at the minute, to many false dawns. Its a long time since expectations have been so low, which is maybe no bad thing.

I've always seen Kyle slipping into the role of Brian Dooher more than Stevie.

You're joking
