Lachlan in very nice. Had an inkling Sargent would start but im surprised it's at 11

your would assume he's ear marked for the role Conor Glass was planned to do.

Hopefully free Conor up a big more to drive forward.
 

I'd be inclined to change Rogers and Mc Evoy but taking Eoin out of Midfield had to be done.

Happy they've reacted to what we all saw against Armagh.

That's a strong starting lineup, but I'm surprised that Niall L is not in the 15. He's been our most consistent forward all year. Didn't have a great game last day out, but no faulting his work ethic and he's usually reliable for scores.
Cassidy / McGuigan both lucky to start imo given recent form, hopefully they can up their performances.

What's the chances Lynch comes in from the start?
I personally think kickouts have been an issue for us so far, even though it has improved massively since last year. Lynch on form is the #1, would still be a risk to play him given how little football he's had.

Great to see Sargent in from the start.

[oakleafgael]

That team will likely not start. Expect at least one change, possibly too.

[Wildweasel74]

Sargent play Senior for Lavey yet?

[shawshank]

Don't think so.

[Ryan O]

I think he's only been fully back for about 4/5 weeks so probably never had opportunity to be released from County.

When Sargent came on against Armagh, they said it was before he had made his debut for his club. If the lack of game time for Lynch is a risk the same would be true for Sargent, maybe more so given his complete lack of experience at senior level.
McGuckin would be unlucky to be dropped but I think they will go with Lynch, as long as they don't tell him to hang about the halfway line as the Meath keeper bombs the ball over his head and goals fly in behind him.
As an aside C Diamond seems to be named on the bench for every game, does anyone know if he has got any minutes at all in league or Championship?

[Wildweasel74]

Tommy Rodgers outside the 30 these days? I like see him and Cahal McKeigue get some league time nxt year along with Danny McDermott and a few others.

C Diamond nevers seems to get a chancw but he always been good at Uni level

Charlie played against Armagh last year and either 0ffaly or Cork this year in the league. He missed the McKenna cup and early stage of the league for sigerson. Highly rated but should be pushing on.

Lynch hasn't played any football in 2 years there's no chance he plays. Possibly only in after scullion leaving since the Armagh game. Really looking forward to seeing Sargeant playing.

Don't think we should be expecting too much from young Sargent. Not fair on the lad.

There's a lot more experienced lads who should be doing a lot better.

[Topmarks]

Crunch time tomorrow night. No idea what to expect. Just hope we get a decent support to get behind the team. Momentum is huge and if we can get a run on them the crowd will row in behind the team and that might give them a bit of energy when it counts. Really hoping we show a bit of fight and stomach for it.

Rogers is a potential future intercounty midfielder but needs to bulk up a good bit for senior intercounty in my opinion (I know he made an appearance last year)

McKaigue a bit of a random shout for me. Solid fella but not sure what his best position is yet and there were better footballers on that u20 team.

[NotedObserver]

What natural position is that Forbes lad? Looks a solid player for his age
