My pick

O hare
Fegan
McEvoy
McGovern
Annett
O Hagan
D guiness
J Flynn
C Mooney
Poland
Devlin
McConville
Quinn
O Hagan
McArdle Sweeper

Something tells me O'Hare isn't county this season. Think he lined out for Glenn last weekend. Marc Reid is back up goalie I believe

Annett not on panel either...

[Smurfy123]

Why are they not in squad?

Would have liked to see both in Action

It's a massive match.

Meath supporters seem to feel they have went back in 2 years and put in a poor performance on Sunday so we may see the backlash

Thinking about the keeper situation. Whilst I'm certainly not his biggest fan Burns seems to be hung out to dry by management and players. No kickout strategy falls back on him. He has obviously been told to hit that famous pack where all the players bunch and try win the break ball.

Annett left and O'Hare hasnt been on the panel in two years. Why would you not play your own club man Smurfy?

Massive game is right, we really need to win this Sunday (and we can) or else its a battle on the final day to see who gets the handier relegation play off. Staying up is all we can hope for because we wont beat Donegal.

Down team for tomorrow

M Reid
C McCartan
G McGovern
P Fegan
P Laverty
C Mooney
D o Hagan
J Flynn
C Poland
D Guiness
J guiness
R McEvoy
P Devln
B o Hagan
C Quinn

I like the sound of Mooney in defence coming onto the ball. He had great year when Down reached the ulster final
Poland and Flynn better at midfield as both were played out of position last week
Burns McKernan Murdock Collins and Doherty pay the price for last weeks performance
Is Darren ready for a full match
Is Reid up for it
A strong team hopefully a big performance

[Lloyd p]

Some recovery from C Mccartan after you telling us he'd done his cruciate Smurfy!? Something tells me you are a complete spoofer 

[Smurfy123]

How can you spoof naming a team?

Reid is a long ball man and will be hung out to dry like Burns if he doesn't have more options or movement in defence first of all. Mooney and Darren will give much more of a burst through the middle third. Midfield continues to be a weakness particularly when the box kick out strategy is used. Again, no big consistent scorers up from apart from Quinn, no graft in Devlin and Mc Evoy will be in MF with D Guinness at HB. Not very promising and coming against a physically bigger team will make this very difficult tomorrow. I hope they prove me wrong.

How can you spoof naming a team?

Pretty easily it seems 

[Smurfy123]

Spoof because I named the correct team?
Do you think it was a wild guess Mooney moved to the defence?
And O Hagan Reid Devlin and McCartan will all start
What have I spoofed about?
Kerr in for Poland was the only late change
Where have I spoofed?

[grounded]

Fingers crossed for this evening. There is not a whole pile of difference between the 2 teams. So could go either way. Just hoping for a better performance than last week.

Theres a massive difference on the scoreboard.

[Targetman]

An absolutely awful performance from Down, making no progress whatsoever and div3/4 is the level that this team are at, a complete mess!!

[Nanderson]

You'd near swear these players never seen each other in their lives. No cohesion whatsoever on the team. I dont mind them playing defensive football if thats the what Talley thinks their strengths are but by god at least be good at it if you're going to play that way
