McEntee is injured.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 09/06/2016 14:29:14 1864263 Link
Should have enough to get past these Sunday however this is as far as we'll go in leinster unfortunately. Dublin will wallop us as per usual with mod saying that this is still a building process. Anyone find it strange that Smyth wouldn't start in the Mahoney's half forward line yet he's one of mods first choices to start to with Meath?

Big game, never thought id say this but the events with the hurlers should hopefully gel the team together, a siege mentality if you like to call it, again we can see that there is still alot of Meath bashing going on. Hatred of the Royal if you like, so I hope mod is using this as a motivational tool, particularly seeing who opposition are, and joes revelations .

Smyth is one of NOM's best performers,not sure what you are on about.. Likely he will play in the half back line now as two of the backs are out. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 09/06/2016 16:44:41 1864351 Link
Anyone see the Chronicle this week and read Mick O'Dowds piece? I found it annoying that he keeps going on about injuries and now suggests that he is in year two of the rebuilding process as opposed to the reality of four. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 09/06/2016 16:46:09 1864352 Link

I'm holding fire till end of championship. Can't stand waffle about injuries though. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1792 - 09/06/2016 18:23:03 1864407 Link

Thought Smyth played well again Louth in O'Byrne. He deserves a start in my opinion bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1792 - 09/06/2016 18:28:03 1864410 Link
He's a fine footballer no doubt just can't understand from watching a lot of club football that hes been playing in the half back and corner back with NOM. Ketchup (Meath) - Posts: 22 - 09/06/2016 18:54:35 1864416 Link

I am pretty disappointed with the Chronicle. I know it's a fine line but they seem to have become a mouthpiece for MOD without actually reporting on anything meaningful associated with what lineups were playing in challenges, who is moving well etc. With that in mind I didn't even buy the Chronicle this week and I would have always bought most weeks especially championship weeks. I just don't think they will be reporting anything that we don't know already. oldsam_newsam (Meath) - Posts: 638 - 09/06/2016 19:39:36 1864433 Link

Well you can surely see why he can be used as a half forward?? He has often played for Meath in the half back line too.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 09/06/2016 19:54:41 1864439 Link

It's been very quiet for weeks. I take this as a positive bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1792 - 09/06/2016 20:08:58 1864449 Link
I think he can play as a half forward no doubt I just find it perplexing that he wouldn't be good enough to start with his own club there. Rather see a natural wing forward there who'll end up there long term if you get me. Lenihan is due a good game hopefully the inside line will bury a few goals sunday.

Team named Smyth is half back.. Surprised McMahon does not start,I heard he has been flying in challenge games etc.McDonagh tends to do better coming off the bench.They have Tormey down at midfield,but surely Cian O'Brien will play there? I would be very worried about the backline generally.Not one natural corner back and obviously Keoghan(although forced) out of position. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 10/06/2016 08:05:29 1864559 Link
Can't understand why POR gets the nod ahead of McHugh in goals. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1792 - 10/06/2016 08:22:25 1864562 Link
Ziggy there would be something wrong if mcdonagh didn't start the man is our best forward on his day. How is orourke in instead of McHugh? And surely conor Downey is worth his place over Douglas ? royalballer23 (Meath) - Posts: 61 - 10/06/2016 08:37:52 1864565 Link
Replying To bert09: "Can't understand why POR gets the nod ahead of McHugh in goals." He was always gonna play whether we liked it or not.. Another season were we have 4 debutants too.Seems every year we have alot of new players.Donncha Tobin does not work as a corner back. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 10/06/2016 08:40:18 1864566 Link
I like that Harnan is finally in his correct position of CHB, although I do think he can be caught out at times and needs protection. I like the forward line but I think you just have to ask yourself, is a Meath team with McDonagh at FF really going to achieve anything or at least improve on previous deficiencies? I have my doubts. proevo (Meath) - Posts: 296 - 10/06/2016 08:49:47 1864569 Link
