Honestly if we don't win this comfortably we might as well forget the whole damn thing. Meant by 10+. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 28/02/2023 14:50:26 2460983 Link
if we win were as good as safe and have a free shot at dublin and kildare, will be nice to go to newbridge on final day and just relax and play football, banish the ghost of 2021 and relegate kildare at the same time, finnish on 8 points we would take that in january dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 767 - 28/02/2023 15:34:37 2460996 Link

But not guaranteed all ire football. 6th won't cut it even 5th might not be. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 28/02/2023 16:39:27 2461014 Link
We are very close to being a good team I wish we had the likes of McGill, Menton and James Conlon available and I feel like we would be pushing for promotion DefenceWinsChampionships (Meath) - Posts: 25 - 01/03/2023 10:23:11 2461110 Link

If we can only finish 6th or 5th in Div 2 and can't beat Offaly and then either westmeath or Louth we should then be playing in the competition that was set up for weaker teams because we will be one of them . We haven't been competitive for years we got into Div 1 and the Super 8s and lost every game we haven't beaten a top tier team in I don't know how long we should be happy if we could win a Tailtean Cup if that's where we end up . I just pray if we play Westmeath they don't send us to the Tailtean Cup that would be the lowest ever for Meath I'm still not over the loss to them under MOD . mmc (Meath) - Posts: 280 - 01/03/2023 13:08:35 2461186 Link

Maintain div 2 status main priority now. Early days under COR Royalman11 (Meath) - Posts: 29 - 01/03/2023 17:25:47 2461278 Link

Replying To royaldunne: "Honestly if we don't win this comfortably we might as well forget the whole damn thing. Meant by 10+." 10 points is optimistic I'd take a 1 point win. We don't score heavily and give up alot of chances. Bookies have it around 4 points which is alot more logical then 10 plus.....what have you seen that we havnt ???? southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 937 - 02/03/2023 11:02:39 2461366 Link

We beat cork and they didn't get a goal against us. I'd say we will net 4 at least. That's what I base it on. Honestly if we only win by a point we are in real real trouble royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 02/03/2023 14:57:11 2461426 Link

Get the win is the starting point. 2 more wins maybe needed to stay out of Tailteann Cup. Nervous already seasiderblues (Meath) - Posts: 352 - 03/03/2023 09:58:22 2461523 Link

Replying To southmeathgael: "6th should keep us out of Tailteann cup bar a very unlucky sequence of results" Not by my reckoning. Say all provincial finalists apart from Connacht are in division one or two. So that's 8 plus top 4 from division 2, is 12 add Westmeath ,add the one in Connacht up to 14 louth likely to beat Westmeath in Leinster so even if they relegated they have a shot at us assuming we beat Offaly etc. they win that it's 15. Then throw in 5th position in league. All that without even considering clare cavan etc getting to a provincial final. 6th likelihood is tailteann royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 03/03/2023 13:54:53 2461589 Link

That's 8 spots gone. Westmeath 9. Then based on current league standings Mayo, Roscommon, Monaghan Donegal Tyrone, Meath and Kildare who are in 5th and 6th respectively. If Clare or Limerick make the munster final 5th place in divison 2 would still go enough to make Sam but I can't either of them beating Cork. I can't see Fermanagh beating Derry and Tyrone/Monaghan, similarly I can't see Antrim/Cavan/Down beating both Donegal and Armagh. Based on the form of teams right now, we would need to be relegated to miss out on making the Sam Maguire UsernameInvalid (Meath) - Posts: 403 - 03/03/2023 15:43:27 2461630 Link
Is the league table based on head to head or points difference? E.g we've beaten Cork but they've a better score difference so they're ahead of us? So why is everybody talking about head to head even though score difference is the tie breaker for teams on the same points? In saying that I would take a 1 point win over Limerick. This Meath team does not deal well with expectation of winning. Look at win over Cork and then last 2 losses when a performance was expected. Which is why I could see us doing a lot of huffing and puffing this weekend and then I'd still be optimistic when Dublin come to Navan because they're will be little expectation. We have a performance in us like that e.g Derry league game last year. Which shows we can perform. So key for COR is consistency. Look at Louth, the role a good manager can play is massive.

Head to head if two teams on same points. If 3 or more score difference. That's how it use to be. Unless it changes royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 03/03/2023 20:53:20 2461683 Link
Strong team named. Would rather have seen Ross Ryan in at corner back than Hickey. Also could change a few players around, Harnan to 6, Keoghan to 5 and O Connor to 12. UsernameInvalid (Meath) - Posts: 403 - 04/03/2023 09:59:13 2461706 Link
