Can't agree with that. There has been a massive change in the composition of the panel. Ross, Sheridan, Flynn, Casserley, Gorman were nowhere near the team last year as McEntee selected the players who played for him over the previous 5 years and largelt ignored the claims of the succeessful u20 teams. The team got stale as he continued to pick the same players with very little change. New mgmt have brought in many of the younger players (including the 5 mentioned above who all started last weekend) this will bear fruit in the years to come.

Our inconsistent league form for me is because of so many changes is line up. I think it's a brave if risky move by mgt to use the league to blood new players and try players in new positions, it is obviously looking at the long term and there will have to be a cull in the panel for the championship.

I am delighted to see so many players getting a run. However if MC Guinness, Mullen, O Connor and Cummins were fit this weekend they would all be straight back into the team. I didn't mention Carabine as he is a long term injury. That's the point I am making. We haven't improved. We still can't kick 2 pointers. The best 2 players we have for that is Quinn and Spillane. Quinn has hardly been used and Spillane is best when he comes on. I am not hopeful going to Wexford Taypot (Sligo) - Posts: 243 - 26/02/2026 11:34:04 2658705 Link 0 |

I'm a glass half full so I am optimistic that we can get a victory in Wexford. Wexford will be looking at the table and saying that if they can beat us, then it's Clare away and then a home game against Westmeath with the winner probably taking second place. It's a massive incentive for them. I would prefer to look at our own performances however . Getting hammered by a poor Laois team away from home was very disappointing so there was pressure on us last weekend. We got the job done. We put ourselves under huge pressure by making silly mistakes. Those mistakes cost us at least a point in Mullingar and kept Limerick in the game right up to the last Limerick infringement. Thankfully their error allowed us move up the field and gave us the insurance point. Even against Fermanagh we just pulled away in injury time. We seem to have loads of players that do very well when introduced but when they get the starting jersey they freeze. We haven't got the new manager bounce that both Mayo and Roscommon have gotten but I still think we will click and hopefully that will be on Sunday. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2341 - 26/02/2026 13:57:28 2658740 Link 0 |

I'm inclined to agree with you on Wexford I think they are beatable and if it were in Markievicz I'd back our lads no problem. The journey isn't ideal but I don't think we can be as bad as the Laois performance. Im not sure if the management know their best 15 from the fit players available at present which is grand for driving on fellas to push into starting 15 but at round 5 things should be beginning to stabilise. It hasn't been a good Friday evening for Sligo sport so hopefully things will improve tomorrow!

Im always a glass is half full fella. But I wouldn't be surprised if you won. Alot will depend on who plays better on the day, I really don't think there's anything between the 2 teams.

Bizarrely, promotion is back in our own hands again after those results tonight. Still a big ask and obviously avoiding relegation is the main objective. letsgosligo (Sligo) - Posts: 112 - 28/02/2026 21:40:09 2659114 Link 0 |

Well, Laois winning today has really blown the group open. There will be a lot of teams with the glass half full tonight.

Maybe laois are better than first thought! Huge opportunity today. Young lads need to show that bit of daring today. Support murphy. There is pace in the team which means there are goals. I think if we score 2 we will win the game. Sligo by 2. Southsligoman (Sligo) - Posts: 7 - 01/03/2026 05:56:56 2659140 Link 0 |

If Westmeath win their last 2 game against Limerick and Clare, they are home and hosed.

7 scores. Awful awful bad. Murphy held we are in bother. When we are against size we are goosed. Canice should not have to play in the middle of tje field. A half back. As neil ewing said a year or two ago where are the big men? Fair play to wexford. Humiliated. We have many lads that are whilehearted but very small unfortunately. Lally gives it his all as usual. You would feel for him. Southsligoman (Sligo) - Posts: 7 - 01/03/2026 14:35:03 2659196 Link 0 |

Another disaster on the road and as per my post earlier in the week given the changes made to team today I really don't think the management know what team to play on any given week. We'll be lucky to avoid relegation now. Limericks draw with Laois could save them as Clare could well be in promotion contention when they visit us.

We are in trouble. From the outside looking in it looks like we resemble an U.10 blitz. We look to see who's in the dressing room before we pick the team. A goalkeeper that wasn't on the infamous team sheet on Friday starts in goals and then the usual few other changes. The only people we are codding are ourselves or more specifically the team. We are not done yet but the half full glass is beginning to leak eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2341 - 01/03/2026 15:05:41 2659204 Link 0 |

I gave my opinion a few days ago and some were unhappy. We have not improved. After today's game I rest my case. Taypot (Sligo) - Posts: 243 - 01/03/2026 16:32:32 2659238 Link 0 |

I tjink its important to be patient, eamon o hara has won 3 club titles i think with tourlestrane 2 with mohill. Dessie won sligo first u20 connacht title and brought easkey to an all ireland final. con won 2 with coolera and a connacht club title. Plenty of experience and a massive interest for sligo to do well. I believe higgins is an excellent coach also. Great potential with upcoming underage players but its a big step up to county senior level. This years management team have started the process and should be complimented on giving these lads the opportunity, looking to future. There has to be some pain before the gain.
