Feel this is quite close to our best 15 alright. Any word on players returning from injury (Towey, McGuinness)? Id imagine Devanney will still start in goal, and OConnor? XV = 1. Devanney 2. Lyons 3. McGuinness (if fit) 4. McNamara 5. Mullen 6. Cummins 7. Kilcoyne 8. Marren 9. Spillane 10. Cawley 11. O'Connor 12. Towey 13. Carrabine 14. Hughes 15. Murphy FearSligeach (Sligo) - Posts: 6 - 25/05/2022 20:26:31 2420259 Link 0 |
Had heard Carrabine was injured. If not I would play him at wing back, move Mullen to the corner and not play Walsh. Also i would play oconnor at centre forward (move towey to wing forward and Spillane to middle) or midfield and move out laffey. Competition for places is high on the team. Would be great see to the u20 lads get a run out.

I assume you are joking. Move Carrabine to half back.!!! He is the one player that is not afraid to take on his man, shoot and normally finishes up with a few points from play. He is our best forward

Very very lucky. Hopefully we will get another home draw tomorrow morning. Not sure who I would like eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 29/05/2022 11:00:36 2420727 Link 0 |
Bizzare starting selection and some bizarre substitutions...one because a player demanded it..2yrs with this manager and nearly an embaaraing result against a team that had to fly in for the game...mcintee not the answer I'm afraid MrUnderhill (Sligo) - Posts: 30 - 29/05/2022 15:58:37 2420772 Link 0 |
Was Conan Marren injured or carrying a knock? Bizarre that he didn't get much action considering he was our best player v Roscommon ShellyGael (Sligo) - Posts: 67 - 29/05/2022 16:14:16 2420780 Link 0 |
We will be heading up the road to Carrick as under dogs. Much better than going to either Cavan or Fermanagh I suppose. I don't at this point believe that we have improved under Mc Entee and co. Tommy Breheny said that we are much better than we were but as Mark is part of the Mc Entee entourage that's what you would expect him to say. Probably without Murphy but hopefully the tough game will stand to us eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 30/05/2022 09:21:23 2420941 Link 0 |
Marren was fine, not injured. He was dropped. Strange call to drop one of the best players the previous day against Roscommon. But with this manager anything is possible. We have struggled to beat New York and Lindon in our 2 championshop victories. Can only see a Leitrim victory next weekend as Murphy is unlikely to be fit after his 5 minute cameo. Time for McEntee and especially Keane to step down and give locals like Sloyane, OHara a chance.

Word in the grape vine is that he has a 3 year deal and that he will be staying put. Sloyane and his backroom team have not been re appointed for next year at U20

The best draw we could have hoped for bar it being in Markievicz. Saturday was embarrassing and I hope that they can make amends against the neighbours and try and sneak over the line, either way we're at our level in Division 4 and Tailteann and should we manage to reach semi final, I'd nearly sooner if it wasn't televised!

Funny I would say the same thing. Best draw for Leitrim. One of us will be wrong!! Antrim are no monkeys. 4th in Div 3 Beat Fermanagh by 8 Beat Longford by 9 Beat Wicklow by 6 Drew with Laois. Last Saturday we were without one of best forwards Ryan O Rourke (injured) 50/50 he'll be available. Is Niall Murphy out. Why did Marren not start. Was he Injured I know one swallow doesn't make a summer. To predict it I'd say it's impossible to call 50/50 . I know ye won in extra time. The one stat from that game that stands out is the accumulation of wides that ye had. I know London missed a penalty, but the main stat is the Sligo wides. I missed the extra time listening to ocean . HOW FAR OUT WAS ALAN REILLY WITH THE LEVELLER TO BRING IT TO EXTRA TIME. WAS IT FROM PLAY OR A FREE The Tailteann cup was needed to be introduced. Weaker teams needs summer Co football. Next stop Pairc Sean. leitrimforsam (Leitrim) - Posts: 81 - 30/05/2022 15:36:09 2421150 Link 0 |
Alan Reilly was at the foot of Ben Bulben but he gave it a mighty wallop and over she flew. )) Murphy won't be playing. Different stories about Marren but you can take it that he will be starting next week.

Probably the best draw we could've got bar the fact we are in carrick no disrespect to Leitrim, they will also be feeling the same about the draw . Sligobuck21 (Sligo) - Posts: 87 - 30/05/2022 21:06:12 2421269 Link 0 |
They only seems to want to play the same faces who are trusted regardless of ability. A change is needed to guys who know club football in the county. Also to bring back the players who don't want to play for the current mgmt team

This really is a discussion for end of season. Every county has players who for different reasons opt out of playing. I know the club scene fairly well and there's not too many players that I think should be involved that's sitting at home

I would disagree with you on that

This game was a great draw for both teams and vines the winner a chance to play in croke park. I don't know how Leitrim can be favourites. We played yee twice this year and yee bet us twice relatively easy. We lost to London in the league and scraped past them in the championship. However I do think this is the big gauge on who has improved the most. The league game between us was a dead rubber and the FBD game was a challenge for the differ. I am looking forward to it. They won't be more than 3 or 4 points in it at the final whistle. Champotime18 (Leitrim) - Posts: 416 - 31/05/2022 13:54:39 2421384 Link 0 |
The reason you are favourites is (1) Home venue (2) Ye are on an upward trajectory despite a lot of Leitrim posters saying the opposite (3) An enthusiastic manager who instills confidence and belief in players and supporters. We are the opposite to all those points made above. We have beaten you twice this year in meaningless games. Very difficult to beat a team 3 times the one year.. Just ask Roscommon. Tipperary easily beat Carlow in the League but last weekend when it came to the crunch the roles were reversed. I Hope supporters on both sides come out in support. It's on at a good time and the forecast is good. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 31/05/2022 14:35:38 2421399 Link 1 |
Fair points on a all of the above. At the very best it's a 50/50 game and the bookies reflect this. I hope we get a big crowd and make it feel like a right championship game. A trip to croke park is huge for the development of both teams.
