Can't see there being massive changes to the team, McCaul especially could be a great help around the middle after fetching a couple of kick outs at the weekend. The bench will be far more important as Derry will be a serious step up physically if nothing else compared to Cavan. The quality of our kick passing was brilliant against Cavan, especially in the opening half, hopefully we see more of it against Derry. Also great to see the newer lads like Dowd, McElearney and Kelly all have a positive day out, some lads a few years on the panel waiting for their chance.

Some interesting stats from the game - Monaghan - 71% accuracy. Easily the best this year. Unforced turnovers - 5 for Monaghan. That is lowest this year I think but the numbers don't tell the full story - some of those resulted in goals and goal chances. Still work to be done here ahead of the Derry game. 11 forced turnovers by Monaghan to Cavan - Cavan lost possession 13 times in their attack. That tallies with a better collective defensive shape until the jitters took hold half way through second half through fatigue and unforced errors. 7 scorable frees conceeded by Monaghan. No doubt Lynch had an off day and you would expect McGuigan to punish Monaghan if discipline is giving away lots of frees in 2 pt positions. sleater (Monaghan) - Posts: 199 - 21/04/2026 12:14:44 2667698 Link 0 |
