Name all the forwards Roscommon currently have available to them to make all of those changes? Tyrone defended very well yesterday, gave little time for any forward to shoot or create. At the other end Roscommon was far too loose and defend in that manner against Galway next Sunday and it will be another defeat regardless of what forwards Roscommon choose.

Enda Smith in the half forwards and Ben O'Carroll and Jack Duggan on the inside. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 905 - 29/01/2024 11:39:07 2522949 Link 0 |
Our lads looked extremely leggy yesterday i wonder was the 3 games in the dome a factor a different kettle of fish playing on a grass pitch. Lads looked wrecked out on their feet. Tarismelting22 (Roscommon) - Posts: 767 - 29/01/2024 12:25:02 2522969 Link 0 |
Very disappointing result yesterday, more the manor of the result. Yes we had a goal wrongly ruled out but also the red card was very harsh to be fair, although the same player could and maybe should have got a black in the first half for dragging Connolly down as he tried to support Donie. Anyway, in all reality we didn't deserve to win the game or even draw. As has been pointed out, the ease at which Tyrone got their kickouts away after the red card was baffling. If we didn't push up with the extra man, where was he deployed as Tyrone ran through us at ease. Our transition is still too slow. A number of players didn't perform but they will know that themselves, no need to be pointing fingers here. One thing I would say we need to remember is while we have a lot of young players finding their way at this level, we also have a young manager who is still learning too and coming up against mangers with a number of All Ireland's already on their CV. Hopefully we have the Brigids lads available at least on the bench for Sunday. I would have loved to have seen how Stack would have fared against Canavan yesterday, who was superb. That would have been an interesting match up. Anyway, on to Sunday. A game we must win and a game we have a right chance in but it will take a huge improvement from yesterday D.Hyde (Roscommon) - Posts: 209 - 29/01/2024 12:35:06 2522975 Link 2 |
We were loose enough when it counted last June too. That's 3 Competitive (real games) on the trot lost. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1795 - 29/01/2024 12:36:26 2522976 Link 1 |
Has Pearce frost been asked into panel. Think he's a very good aggressive defender and I'd be shocked if he wasn't brought in dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1126 - 29/01/2024 12:52:22 2522985 Link 0 |
That is true, we conceded too much to Kildare and Cork but I was putting some of that down to a tiredness that seemed to creep in at that stage of the championship. Big improvement needed next week on that front.

That's a good starting team but I can't see that many Brigids lads starting, possibly some to come off the bench. Any word when Harney is coming back or Conor Hussey?

Where would you play Colin Walsh. He was full back on the U20 team that got to the All Ireland final in 2021 but I read at the time that he said his preference was to play further out the field. I agree with you that a lot of changes are needed for the Galway game. I wonder will the Brigid's lads be available.

Good to see a healthy crowd from Roscommon up at Healy Park yesterday. Fair play given the conditions and drive. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2092 - 29/01/2024 13:47:22 2523005 Link 0 |
Yeah I agree, he was extremely impressive

The goal at the end ? It was a square ball…pretty clear in the replays.

Should be, One of the best corner backs in the county but i have heard he wasn't called in.

It wasn't a square ball, clearly shown in league highlights last night. Saying that Ros deserved nothing from the game, very poor. Need Brigid's contingent back ASAP and Enda Smith to have a chance in staying up. Tyrone were not much better but Daragh Canavan was a class apart.

If i was to be completely honest i dont think Colin is good enough to be starting for the county team - plays midfield for oran but he wouldnt cut it there for county. A squad player is where i see him. Would like to see senan lambe and declan kenny get good game time in the league two very good footballers/.

It was absolutely not a square ball come on now, a ridiculous call

Ye won all yer home games in the league last year so it was always going to be a challenge to get points up there. Canavan is unreal. That'll be an interesting encounter next week with Micky!

Enda Smith will probably be used in midfield given how light on options in that area Roscommon are at the moment. Jack Duggan is coming from Div 3/4 level football if forwards that started Sunday with Div 1 experience found the going tough one can hardly expect him to do much better. Will Ben O'Carroll even be available for selection? Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3456 - 29/01/2024 15:49:45 2523050 Link 0 |
So clear that neither panel on RTE or TG4 could see it? There was no square ball.

Harney probably won't be back for a few weeks. He was at the game with Enda smith. Harney will be a massive addition to the team. Just hope the Brigid's lads are back Sunday
