I can't see us coming out of the group in fact fear we will struggle again to be honest. LemonySnickett (Louth) - Posts: 82 - 13/09/2016 14:48:49 1913666 Link 0 1 |
longford, offaly and sligo you would need to look to win them. Longford have Mickey Quinn, so quiten him and their very beatable. Offaly are very like us, limited but hard working and honest. Sligo are hot(1st half v Mayo) and cold(2nd half v Mayo), but again I dont fear them. Frederick (Louth) - Posts: 474 - 13/09/2016 16:51:33 1913764 Link 0 0 |
Careful there Frederick. We have four home games which is great . We need to make those count. It is not beyond us to. win those matches. Win them and we stay up . It won't be easy . All of them represent a serious challenge . You are seriously under estimating Longford . They beat both Down and Monaghan away from home in championship football this year . Would we do that ? I can't see us getting anything in Laois or Tipperary. Hopefully we will push on and challenge for promotion . That would represent great progress . However that is a serious challenge . The four home games gives us a good chance to stabilise in the division . However we cannot afford to under estimate any team most especially Longford .

Seriously tough Division for Louth. Its between 1 Armagh 2 Tipp 3 Laois and 4 Offaly.... Really hope they can survive it.... herewe38 (Louth) - Posts: 506 - 13/09/2016 20:00:37 1913881 Link 0 0 |
Wee have four home matches which is great. Tipp is the furthest away trip but there is Motorway all the way down to Thurles. Portlaoise and Tullamore are handy to get too as well. Win our four home matches and wee will be safe. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12136 - 13/09/2016 20:19:47 1913893 Link 0 0 |
All of those are beatable and Louth are dangerous when they are the underdog, it is Div 3 after all lads! MR (Louth) - Posts: 2570 - 14/09/2016 16:18:37 1914244 Link 0 0 |
We were much more competitive this year MR. However we will do very well to get anything in Laois or Tipp . Four home games is a Godsend . It gives us a good chance to pick up points but at the same time we will be classed as one of the more likely candidates to go down . It may only be Division Three but what level are we really at ?

Since the leagues restructured in 2007 Louth went from Division 1 to Division 3. 2008 Division 3 2009 Division 3 2010 Division 3 2011 Division 3 2012 Division 2 2013 Division 2 2014 Division 2 2015 Division 3 2016 Division 4 2017 Division 3 Wee have spend most of that time in Division 3 so that is probably our level.

i dont see home advantage been that big of a factor to be honest, especially with our home ground in drogheda, where I know a lot of the players do not like to play. Should try get Haggardstown under lights of a sat night. Frederick (Louth) - Posts: 474 - 15/09/2016 12:20:09 1914578 Link 0 0 |
Staying up in this division will be a good achievement anything after that would be a massive bonus but let's be realistic lads.Stay up and consolidate is the best for the county at this stage. Novak (Louth) - Posts: 96 - 15/09/2016 13:17:38 1914602 Link 0 0 |
Overall, I think it's a very favourable looking fixture list, considering what it could've been. Whitey_Toppskin (Louth) - Posts: 60 - 15/09/2016 16:43:18 1914721 Link 1 0 |
You cannot build or make progress in Louth's situation because our players have no previous record of doing it at underage for Louth, so why should they be expected to impress or progress? herewe38 (Louth) - Posts: 506 - 15/09/2016 21:10:55 1914841 Link 0 0 |
