Team has been released with McPhillips named to start in midfield.
Lavelle is named in the panel so hopefully he's fit to play.

Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "Sadly no Gary Mohan could be the straw on the camels back in this game. With our record in Armagh and the injury issues it leaves one travelling with some fear. It is now more important than ever that we pick up dirty breaking ball around the middle. Like an earlier poster mentioned this is the biggest game for Monaghan for a while. Win and who knows where it could end up. Good luck to Gabie and the lads."
Travelling to play a div 3 team with some fear…jayus good job were not travelling to play a Armagh or a kerry…

I have been astounded about the sense of fear and caution around the county about this fixture. We are a div 1 team and down are a div 3 team. They are no better than Louth and we dismantled Louth with ease. Down have 2/3 decent players and apart from that they are bang average. They stayed with donegal for 40 mins then fell away, we stayed with donegal for the full game and could have got something from it, that shows where both teams are.

Would a Tyrone/Donegal/Armagh be fearing down as much, not a chance. In essence we should cruise through this with a facile 5/6 point victory, but then again we are from Monaghan and we are capable of producing anything!!!

"For anyone that would be on the fence, thinking we should be better because Monaghan are Division One and Down are Division Three, that's crap"

The words of the great Paul Finlay and I agree. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

Obviously you dont attend many games or you wouldnt describe 5/6 point victory margin as facile under the new rules. We shoukd win but as Paul Finlay says anyone who thinks it will be easy is talking crap.
