What do ye think lads, will it be in Sligo?

Agreed 2020 fixture should have been refixed, there was enough of a gap between the end of the Connacht final and the All Ireland series to allow this.

Is there a date when the club championship draws will be made? A lot of counties seem to have theirs done.

Weather looks like dry enough from next week. Will there be many changes to the team for the next day. Sligo players look like the s&c work is starting to pay off. Lot more physical looking team than recent years. Murphy had a great game in playmaker role but prefer seeing him closer to goal. Is towey expected to be out for long. Good spine to the Sligo team just need to keep improving the squad.

Sligo 2-11 Leitrim 1-14

That was one of the most incredible finishes to a game. I don't know how we go the draw. Dillon Walsh when he got going basically dragged us over the line with Marren who was immense.

Leitrim had the game wrapped up. No one can question the character of our lads that's for sure.

Can someone explain to me the quick frees in the scoring zone in the 2nd half?

Somehow if we beat Mayo we will go through. And even if Roscommon Leitrim draw, we will edge leitrim on score difference.

All we have to do now is beat Mayo and hope Leitrim and Roscommon don't finish in draw. The truth is we got out of jail this evening. Leitrim were far superior to us and basically left it behind. They could regret that.

If the table is correct on Connachtgaa.ie then the draw doesn't affect us, Eoinog. If we win and Leitrim and Roscommon draw. We all end on 4 pts. 3 way tie goes on score difference.

Roscommon have 0pts difference
Leitrim have -4
Sligo have -4

It if we beat Mayo we go to -3 and knock Leitrim and Mayo out (if other game is a draw).

So we don't need to rely on anyone else. Its in our hands. I am open to correction.

Hard to believe we are still in it as we are playing awful stuff and well below capabilities but special mention to Marren and Dillon Walsh for bringing the energy and quality to drag it back from the death. Fair play to them both. There is hope but that performance was shocking at times. So many headless decisions and carries into contact without support.

Hard to believe we were 1-13 to 1-7 down with 10 mins left after being up 1-5 to 0-3 up. We were outscored 1-10 to 2 pts in the middle period and still managed to draw. The final quarter was some guts in fairness. I am not sure some of the issues with this team are fixable. Losing the ball in any sort of contact. There seems to be a drastic reduction in executing the basic skills under pressure and protecting possession within this team. That can happen as you start to get distracted by life as you get older and don't practice as much. Players who have played with each other for years don't expect the amount of mistakes we are making so we are getting out of position. Players taking each other for granted in terms of tidying up dirty ball.

I know Leitrim folk think they have a good side and all that and they do have some decent players but we handed that game to them on a silver platter for a large portion. Start of the second half especially was some of the worst decision making I have ever seen from a Sligo team on a football field. The turnovers were so carelessly cheap and shot selection non existent. A lack of support was evident when under pressure. I think we need to be ruthlessly honest with ourselves and just go back to basics which we probably have and that would be my concern. Today was the worst of the 3 performances so far.

Some of the standard of our kick passing was dreadful and repeatedly throughout each game this year we keep carrying the ball into contact in slippery conditions. On the positive side, these lads continue never to give up, in the past they have always found a way, lets hope they can do the same next week.

It has been a great competition so far with nothing between the 5 teams and with the exception of tonight's game in the Hyde, it has been good open football and now 2 massive games next week for 4 teams.
