Replying To veterngaa: "Anyone want to predict starting team this weekend ?" Mulligan Byrne Treanor Wylie Hughes Ward Kelly Mohan Gallagher Irwin Bannigan Carolan O hanlon Woods Mooney Maybe Kelly isnt fit to start and maybe Duffy comes in there. Be a big risk going with duffy and Hughes both at half back. Ronan boyle could come in if hes going well. Ryan Wylie wil start for that experience in the full back line although hr might not last the 70. Will Byrne go out on Conaty at 11 as he tracked O donnell last week? Its a toss up between Garland and Mooney, mooney prob just shades it given woods can take the frees off the left foot. Goalie is a toss up too, Mulligan prob gets the nod as he has long range frees in his locker. Irwin and carolan at the wings although stewart could get a nod there for his physicality and have carolan coming off the bench. Stewart could be a better match up physically for a Jary Og burns type wing back. monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 451 - 22/01/2026 10:26:09 2652459 Link

G Mohan and Boyle played well in the match. Wasn't their fault UU lost. I think the starting 15 will be very close to what you posted. Maybe Carey or Hanratty in for Kelly? Maybe Boyle in corner back with Byrne moving to HB? I don't see it being a case of Garland or Mooney, I think both will start with O'Hanlon in half forward line ahead of Irwin or Carolan. sleater (Monaghan) - Posts: 191 - 22/01/2026 11:52:31 2652483 Link

Depending how Hanratty's knee is from last weekend, they will definitely not want to risk him. Its ok going for Garland and Mooney, big problem then is who is the impact subs from the bench, I have a feeling they will want to hold one in reserve for the last 20 mins. monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 451 - 22/01/2026 14:30:51 2652507 Link
Reports going about that we have a massive injury crisis atm. 10-15 players currently out injured and unavailable for the wknd. Could be a long few weeks ahead if we can't get our house in order. MonaghanMan44life (Monaghan) - Posts: 135 - 22/01/2026 15:19:07 2652520 Link

Actually dont see us winning any games in div 1 without him he is that big of an influence on the side. With the weather the way it is the two pointers will be massive in early parts of the league. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1933 - 22/01/2026 21:51:44 2652616 Link

Along with O'Hanlon, Woods & Bannigan he must start all games if fit. Shelbourne1 (Monaghan) - Posts: 429 - 22/01/2026 22:28:45 2652623 Link

Couldn't agree more, as much as promotion was a positive last year very hard to be optimistic about picking up points in Div. 1 this year.
