Wouldn't exactly say looking forward to this as still think we are poor but Kildare seem to be at an all time low . Would fancy us to beat Kildare all the same interested to see other peoples opinions on the game . Pead0bum84 (Meath) - Posts: 26 - 19/02/2024 10:31:31 2526892 Link 0 |

Agree with this I'd like to see Billy Hogan the next day even though I couldn't be overly critical on brennan . Would like to see kinsella or someone else in ahead of lynch myself Pead0bum84 (Meath) - Posts: 26 - 19/02/2024 11:43:23 2526909 Link 0 |

interesting you say current form. Moriarty and Lynch didn't get a sniff in the sigerson last week and both got taken off so how can they be picked on form ?

I don't think the Kildare county board have helped Kildare by undermining their management team in the build up to the Armagh game. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1363 - 19/02/2024 12:44:32 2526931 Link 3 |

I like the look of your team - I think Shane Walsh is so much better in the full forward line and a much bigger threat there! I like him and Frayne in closer to goal! I also like Costello at 11 - I think he fits that position much better! Daithi McGowan has to start and I'm easy with him either at mid field or wing forward! He scores well and is a threat from placed ball particularly far out! I'm a fan of Aaron Lynch but I don't think his style of play suits the way the team plays! He is in a similar mode to James Conlon and maybe even Joey Wallace and we have struggled to fit these guys in at county level despite the fact that they perform well at club level! Or maybe it's just that at county level the marking on these guys is much tighter! I don't believe they will go with a team without Ronan Jones starting! So I would expect to see him in the starting line up! If that happens I expect McGowan to move to wing forward with either Jack or Diarmuid moving inside but with flexibility to roam out! Anyway - who knows!!!! Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 482 - 19/02/2024 13:12:35 2526950 Link 1 |

1. Sean Brennan 2. Donal Keogan 3. Adam O'Neill 4. Michael Murphy 5. Ciaran Caulfield 6. Darragh Campion 7. Sean Coffey 8. Ronan Jones 9. Daithi McGowan 10. Matthew Costello 11.Diarmuid Moriarty 12. Jack O'Connor 13. Eoghan Frayne 14. Aaron Lynch 15. Shane Walsh id say to drop mcbride and play him at half time. He hasnt fully adaped to the gaelic after coming home from australia. He was a bit out of form against louth. Stick Aaron Lynch in 14 and id say give him the low ball inside and he could cause damage. I am in no interest to drop Sean Brennan yes his long kickouts can be dodgy but he did save us a few times against louth. In my opinion Ciaran played well he made 1-2 mistakes but he played well overall. Jack O'Connor played class against louth and has proven why he should play 12 and he isnt a sweeper or a 15. Matthew Costello was non existant for the first half but when he played in that wing forward position he got back to his best in the second half and proved why he isnt a 24 in my eyes.

County Board have every right to discuss issues of poor performance with the manager. Most definately not in public of course.. That is a no no ! If i was treated like that i would walk there and then. Kildare will not be a push over for us. Depends largely which Meath team turns up . Players have to take their share of the blame for some very basic mistakes.Colm cant be blamed for that. I dont understand why we have not moved futher on a regular freetaker issue though. If a player decides to walk because of not doing anything to improve himself on recurring mistakes then let him walk.. I expect to see a win against Kildare but not certain. Where are we at ? Too early to answer that. I would be both surprised and dissapointed if COR does not get the help needed to bring about sustained improvement this year! Colm O Rourke has a lot of homework to give out to a lot of players .if not completed then sanctions should apply also. Colm also has to ask HIMSELF " are training sessions really working yet" When can we begin to see the benefits of training to meet the needs?

Agree that Lynch is still lightweight for this level. Granted he has talent but he's got to go on a program to bulk up. That type of conditioning will be needed if we're to compete with better teams. In saying that, the general fitness of the team blew Louth out of the water in the last 20 minutes.Was critical of McBride and he's going to need time to re-adapt footballing wise but thought he showed good hands at times, won a crucial throw ball near our own goal and one thing he would've improved in Australia is fitness and stamina which I think we did see yesterday near the end. Would give him another shot against Kildare as they are a big, physical team too. They are lacking confidence but I would still have it as 50/50 game, Meath and Kildare are always well matched. Generally home team wins which might tip the scale. Both should be challenging for promotion but realistically we're both in a relegation battle.

Billy Hogan has to start for me, his kickouts are so much better than Sean Brennans and let's be honest kickouts are the most important part of a goalkeepers job.

That's a bit harsh on both. They were both prominent players that did well as sigerson made the final. Which was one game. Having said that I think lynch hasn't done much for Meath. , he is well able to win ball though.

What has Jack O'Connor done so well that he has gone under the radar of everyone on the forum. 199710 (Meath) - Posts: 120 - 20/02/2024 11:13:43 2527164 Link 0 |

I agree that's harsh, particularly on Moriarty as he's not got a proper chance with Meath yet. But I personally don't think Aaron Lynch is the type of forward that will win you big games, he's there because we have nobody else. Is he better than Daire Rowe? I don't think so.

Read an update from COR today :Conor Grey has gone through a tough time of late, operation followed by illness, hopefull he is on the road to recovery and we see him back in a Meath jersey in due course. Jack Flynn left panel to consentrate on his studies for Masters, no so called "red flag" just felt he was unable to give his all to Meath football at this time. Hopefully, he to will return at later stage. Best of luck to both. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2151 - 20/02/2024 18:30:02 2527257 Link 3 |

What is harsh ? I didn't say I don't rate them or that they are no use ? I simply asked if he was picking on form like he said how could those two be in it ? Lynch hasn't been flying for Meath and Moriarty has no form really either way for Meath because he has barely played this year . He has done ok in the Sigerson in fairness but at the same time didn't have a good game in the final and got hooked as did Lynch so it's hardly nailed on that he or lynch are bang in form.

Has James Conlon fallen down the pecking order again or is even still on the panel ? RD might know ?

Talking to people at the match on Sunday I heard similar, it looks like their was no falling out between Flynn and COR, seems like he can't give up the time at present, hopefully we'll see him back in the future. Poor Grey seems to have had a bad time with sickness, wishing him a speedy recovery. Would be great if he can get back this year.

Moriarty was a big reason UCD made the sigerson final, he had 2 or 3 super games, he didn't have a good final so that means we should erase all his good form in the run to the final? Eoghan Frayne didn't have great games for Maynooth in sigerson but went onto play very well for meath days later. I hope he plays vs Kilare he deserves his chance.
