Replying To redser123:  "Agree he has never showed anything to deserve playing time, all these ratoath players are consistently letting us down, they've all been on the panel for 3 or 4 years now and they're not getting better, with the exception of McGill who I still don't fully trust I'd start none of them."
would start power at 6 for sure. underrated, and missing him at 6 has been a loss in our 2 games in the champ to date. at the least,he holds that position well. burke and keoghan left the centre wide open in the last 2 games.

Taught joey done well on the few substitute appearances he came on in the league, a much better option then eamonn Wallace at the minute in my opinion.

Good idea

Id be inclined to agree with you on Wallace, i was expecting great things from him but to be honest he has been a major letdown..

Unfortunately I think Eamon has had his day. Certainly for this year.

Looking forward to the trip up to navan, should be a tighter game than people are expected. I think our forwards will be a lot to handle for the Meath backs, if we stop the Meath running game we are in for a right shot at it

Apparently the rumors coming from the training ground is that Bryan Mc Mahon has broke his collar bone and sean tobin looks set to replace him. Ruairi O Ceoilann and james mcentee to start in the half forwards, brian power in at centre half back with donnacha tobin gone to midfield at the expense of jones. Now could only be rumors.

Sligo are in with a right chance twothrees, there's no doubt about it, I've talked to a lot of Meath fans since the Kildare game and confidence certainly isn't high at the minute. We have to be fully focused and on our game otherwise Sligo will beat us, make no mistake about it, Sligo have the forwards to cause us serious problems if we're not on song.

Safe journey up anyway.

wouldn't mind seeing that team, well balanced and hard working on paper so to speak.

I think we need to change the way we approach this qualifiers. I see Mickey Burke saying in a interview after that if there only one week turn around he would have feared the worst after the Kildare game. Ok that's to be expected players are naturally disappointed aftera lost like that. We got 2 weeks but you wonder if on Saturday it was a tight game heading into the last 10 minutes would lads go missing ? And lads hang heads start feeling sorry for themselves? As has happened in previous years ? We really need to start putting more of a effort in to the qualifiers. Because if we dont we be in them for long.

That was previous years. The goal was last 8, that hasn't changed. The only thing that's changed is the route

Would put Jones at 6, Toher at 10 ,Thomas o Reilly in after 15 mins for first forward going missing . No excuses ! ANY player not giving his best at this point is off the PANEL . Request that mickey mouse excuses for favoured players can only be considered if written as gaeilge on this forum. Meath by 10 .....MAYBE !!!!!

After seeing that team, i'm going to say it sucked the life out of me.

I'll head along with my father, but not with much hope.

I hope i'm proven wrong

Togher is lucky to be getting a starting place. Mc mahon could be unlucky to lose out in may due to not using him correctly the last day. Poor ball in to him and been double marked. There was bigger problems 1 to 8. Good to see ROC but he should have started the last day anyway. So need major changes made really. I am not a massive fan of S Tobin but I love he attitude he never stops trying always tracking players. he deserves a spot for that alone going some performances last time out.

Replying to Penben.............Options limited, but have to agree with inclusion of Jones and Tower anyway. No doubt 20 players will be used for the 70+ mins. More important than names will be the teamwork, especially team spirit. Our forwards now include Toher, Lenihan and Tobin all can be ok as freetakers. Cetre half back has been a problem,and i see Keoghan given special task here

Bad signs to me with that team corner backs cleaned out against kildare to far off their men and not corner backs to begin with keoghan at center back does not work thought andy would send a message to the team that effort was not good enough james toher had his hands on his knees after 20 mins last day if i wer a back on the bench you would think how bad do these guys have to be for me to get a game happy with changes to forwards and midfield where we are very limited should have enough to beat sligo with 100% from everyone but the fact is that back 6 is not good enough the last two games have proved that. center back is a real problem we win no breaking ball in our half back line .i hope we are not going to run down the middle into traffic and lose the ball or kick aim less ball into forwards or shot from miles out if we do the simple things right and put in 110% effort we could win a few games

If options are limited in Andy's mind then why are Douglas, Power and O'Brien still on the panel? They have been given very little opportunity. The worry I have is that if we get over Sligo and then keep the same time that the same problems that happened vs Kildare will arise again as we have not addressed the issues at the back / midfield. Let's hope Andy has seen enough to justify the selection but, if I was one of the periferal players, I would be pretty disappointed.
