I know he came on full forward in a game against NC in the League and would have fought his shadow if given the chance that night. Really hope John Ross Molloy gets good game time he meant to be an excellent player. As for the lineup that's pretty strong for a first game. Considering there is what 7-8 regulars/subs missing the lads getting a chance over the McKenna cup need to show up to have a chance naomh_conaill_4 (Donegal) - Posts: 502 - 06/01/2023 17:39:55 2451384 Link 0 |
Is Pattons injury long term? If so would be a huge loss. One of the best in the business DerryBoy1 (Derry) - Posts: 1 - 07/01/2023 17:10:51 2451452 Link 0 |
Yes the commitment of some of the Kilcoo players has been confirmed, 4 played the other night vMonaghan and i saw 3 others in the stand who are to join the squad this week , I also thing your making mountains out of molehills reguarding rivalery , thats the same in every county, and Laverty has that sorted long ago, but without getting carried away too much getting out of DIV 3 has to be our goal, after that we ll worry about Donegal in C ship

Didnt make game yesterday, how did the players perform, any of them make the team for championship. jacktheboy (Donegal) - Posts: 477 - 09/01/2023 09:38:13 2451655 Link 0 |
Too early to be talking about championship. We need to be getting at least 3 new lads through but it's not going to be easy. County football is a major step up from being at the game yesterday it would be hard to judge. Caolan Mc colgan is definitely one who could step up but come championship they'll be very few changes to what we had last year. I know from the Ulster final team alone we'll probably be losing.3 maybe 4 of the starting team but I guarantee you they will be replaced by lads who were on the squad last year. We need Oisin gallen fit he would be a plus. Paddy Mc brearty looked sharp but we need new coming through . Lynch done ok in goals . We need to gave paddy carr the respect he deserves its only early days. Good to be back

Caolán McGolgan for me was the bright light from yesterday. He and Jamie Grant definitely have a future at this level. It would be very hard to judge any of the other debutante on yesterday. There was that many substitutions from both sides that there was absolutely no flow to the game. Unfortunately for many of those making their bows, I thought they appeared a bit light for senior intercounty football. Mind you, some of our experienced performers didn't perform too well either. Brendan McCole was taken to the cleaners by a physically dominant Pat Havern. Caolán Ward didn't impose himself on the game in what i thought was an opportunityfor him at Centre Back.. Paddy McBrearty done well enough, but I don't think he will inherit the No 14 on a full time basis. I'd say Paddy Carr and his team would learn more by being in Convoy on Wednesday evening.

You're right there's no while sense in looking into results at this stage. The players and management are still getting to know each other and it's ultimately more about getting lads out on the field. For instance I don't think Kerry will lose sleep over Cork putting 5 goals in their net. We'll get a better sense of where we're at by the end of the league

It's a bit early to be writing guys off and saying they're not at the required level after a few weeks back training and playing in a team with so many debutants.

I think that's what the Mc kenna cup is for giving young lads a chance.. but once league starts it'll be back to the regulars unless some young lad puts up his hand in the next few weeks. I'm hoping for at least 3 or 4 to come through but will it happen that's the question.

It's quite refreshing to see the new mgr a bit more open to the local media and general public. eunans4ever (Donegal) - Posts: 1693 - 10/01/2023 11:41:06 2451836 Link 2 |
Wee question lad what is the story with a few eunans lads not being available. A man like you in the know might keep the good folk like our selves informed..

I seen Paddy Carrs interview with Donegal Daily, he seems a very open likeable fella and I have a notion he is going to try and get us playing more attacking football, Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3186 - 10/01/2023 14:34:07 2451885 Link 0 |

Yeah it's not the time of year to be making sweeping statements about which players will cut the mustard or not. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9761 - 10/01/2023 15:00:28 2451893 Link 0 |
It's funny but now that Michael is gone this really seems like the start of a new era for us, many of us myself included were always hoping Jim would come back to manage us again but that ship has sailed and we are into new waters now, Really hoping Paddy Carr does well and the county gets fully behind him and his team.
