What way will they approach London? Start strong team similar to Monaghan and hope to take lads off early if they can open up a gap? Get more minutes into lads that need it.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "I've seen it a lot from you rossie supporters after any win it's because the team was poor.

Tyrone in Omagh in a knock out championship game aren't poor. Rossies on the day was good defensively and shooting efficiency was good the problem at the moment is Roscommon are the opposite and firstly need to use the London game this week to restore a bit of confidence and sharpen up the shooting."
100%. Confidence appears to be an issue at the moment. I'd be shocked if he didn't start a strong team against London and get some of our sharp shooters scoring again.

The approach should be to start with your strongest possible team and look to end the contest as quickly as possible.

We have seen with our neighbours over the years to what can happen when the approach isn't right against London.

Mayo in 2011 who chose to use the game for a run out for fringe players and those coming back from injury and before they knew it they were in a battle and lucky to get extra time.

Leitrim and Sligo in 2013 and Sligo again in 2022 who needed extra-time to get past the dogged challenge of London in an intense Tailteann Cup round one tie at Markievicz Park.

Lastly Offaly who are getting plenty of praise at the moment but just 11 months ago London gave them a trimming in O'Connor park.

We were fortunate to get out of NY with a win in 2016.
In 2011 we tore into it and led something like 1-10 to 0-1 in 20 minutes .

Our U20s 9 win against Sligo is looking a lot better now after Sligo beat Galway to tonight. Winner into the knock out stages in Tuam next week.
