Saw this on twitter" In 2025, Monaghan set a new six-game scoring record ever in the NFL. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1963 - 15/03/2026 09:04:54 2661215 Link 0 |

Definitely needed. I'd hope to see as close to the management's expected championship teams as possible injuries allowing.

It's tough to look at the starting team these days …

We are all but relegated. Division 2 next year will be tasty. 222 (UK) - Posts: 914 - 15/03/2026 12:02:44 2661243 Link 0 |

Everyone knew Moran was the players manager last year and we are desperately missing him this year. Just have to move on

Another shambolic monaghan performance, we have absolutely nothing going for us at the minute McGuirk1985@ (Monaghan) - Posts: 136 - 15/03/2026 17:07:01 2661296 Link 1 |

Grim. -60 or thereabout scoring difference. Maher had the freedom of the pitch. No one laid a glove on him. Monaghan never on top at any point over the 70+ minutes. Senior players know they haven't a hope. Newer players too small or not clued in at all. They look totally demoralised. Eddie Walsh getting his usual 5 minutes when the game is over. What is the point of a substitution like that? Guys getting 30 minutes and then taken off. Are they any direction from the management about how to play at all because it's the same week in week out. It looks like a shambles. For once I'm not really looking forward to the next game or the championship. PolicemanFox (Monaghan) - Posts: 214 - 15/03/2026 17:45:41 2661311 Link 2 |

It's only March so you might see worse. Division 2 might help to build the team again . I get the feeling it's going to be a big transformation that might take a few years. Very few players on the team today that won an Ulster medal in 2015

I know that, but there is no fight in the team at all. I honestly don't think we'll win a game this year ay things are going

We are shocking small all over the park. A worrying trend is a lot of the new/younger lads are even smaller, carolan, mcgorman, mooney etc. the new game lends to big rangy lads in that middle 8. MonaghanMan44life (Monaghan) - Posts: 176 - 15/03/2026 18:20:26 2661328 Link 0 |

Under the new system we will be in the all Ireland series and guaranteed three games . So it just depends on whom We draw in the all Ireland qualifiers. I would not be surprised if we get to the quarter finals but I understand the point you are making and I am inclined to agree with your sentiments

You can only hope the experience the new guys get and a rampant s and C programme will stand to them in 2027 league if they have the desire. Today was bleak though , galway toyed with us. It's pretty grim at the minute. Worse maybe than 2024 2011 2012, pre 2005 days maybe we are at? 222 (UK) - Posts: 914 - 15/03/2026 18:27:28 2661331 Link 0 |

Bernardo your own county will be lucky to avoid relegation to division 3.

The heads are down alright. Our biggest problem at the minute is we have no scoring forwards to hurt teams. Our scoring averages across the league given the new rules have been abysmal. We have zero threat inside. Garland was back today and hes never convinced at this level. Think we scored 4 pts from play today over the 70 mins. The regulars in the forwards in the absence of other regulars have lost form and confidence. Not sure if Gary Mohan is back for the championship but if he is id move Gallagher to 14 where he offers greater mobility than Woods who might fare better coming on in games. O hanlon is better as a half forward where he has space to run into but we may have no option but to play him inside. We desperately need a fit Mccarthy McEnespie Lavelle Mohan but what are the chances of that at this stage as you'd imagine they'd featured in the league McCarthy Lavelle even as subs i mean if they were going to play v Cavan. If Bannigan thinks he can throw mccarthy and lavelle in v cavan with no football played this year he is with the fairies. Hamill McCaul McPhilips be a bonus to have back but understand all out for year. If you look at where sides like Roscommon and Meath are at teams we beat convincingly 12 months ago the rate of decline in our county side this year has been as bad as I can recall. The team would struggle to stay up in div 2 and unless big turnaround we will be competing in the Tailtenn Cup next year as div 2 shaping up to be v strong next year.

Comparing last year to this year is like comparing apples to oranges in some respects.. we're operating at the top table this year in a very unforgiving environment….Andy was lucky in that div 2 was a score fest last year with no defensive football on show from any team in it, in the champ then our 3 wins that got us to a 1/4 final comprised of beating two div 3 teams (down and Clare) and a Louth team that was drunk out celebrating after winning Leinster so when you drill into last year we were steeped in luck with the draw that papered over some cracks bubbling under the surface that have come to the fore this year with regards the limitations of this crop…

We don't have a midfield so GB needs to think outside the box for the champ…I still think we will beat Cavan and have an outside chance of taking Derry

We're back to "playing" the same style of football we were playing two years ago. Time for Management to have a good hard look at themselves. Every team in the country has injuries (look at Louth yesterday) and they are still going out making scores in the high teens.

You're deluded if you don't think we'll beat the noisy neighbours. Our under 20s would take the cavan seniors
