After the hammering Leitrim got today Laois will be fully flying to get a home win next week. Leitrim are going to lose every game I suspect and may well end up with a record minus score difference so they have a relegation spot secured. If we don't get over Laois next week I fear we may well be joining Leitrim. Big week ahead! Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 450 - 08/02/2025 16:30:42 2590055 Link 0 |
Tough loss for Summerhill today losing 2-9 to 1-9 in the A schools final. Played all the football 2nd half but gave themselves too much to do against the wind. Brady looks a great player and plenty of quality coming through for Sligo. All the molaise lads showed very well. Showed loads of character 2nd half but the black card probably curtailed all the momentum. Congrats to Colmans who were very good in the 1st half.

Good analysis from last week and I'd agree that we're short a bit of pace inside. Deignan might be worth a shout. We've good forwards on paper but as you said, we need to get it in hand first. As you also said, we don't know what's going on at training either but I'd be shocked if there wasn't some changes. This is a huge test for McEntee and his management team. Let's see what happens over the next fortnight.

I posted here a few weeks ago that both Spillane and Deignan are much better on a drier sod. Spillane's performances in the last 2 games proved my point. A good player but not at this time of year. Deignan has huge potential but is just after breaking into the Sigerson team. Markievicz Park the last day certainly would not have suited him. If a player can't make a Sigerson team then they can't expect to make the Co team. I think Nathan Mullen has served his suspension so I imagine he will come straight back into the team. Towey was good when he came on the last day. Very good attacking, maybe not as good defending. Carrabine is a loss but I actually thought he looked a bit jaded last year. The break will do him good. Attack wise we were all over the shop the last day. A small bit of patience and picking the right option would have seen us win in that critical phase when we were a point down. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2016 - 09/02/2025 15:55:41 2590264 Link 0 |
Tony mcentee is a top manager imo and plays attacking football, he would be my top pick if mcgeeney ever left, hard to know what way teams are going with new rules especially when some rules might change before end of the league, height in middle is definitely needed in new rules, need plenty of workers in middle 8 for breaking ball but I think Sligo have a great squad and should be competing for promotion I'd say some of the players playing sigurson are not being selected until that's over, I wouldn't worry about scores for Sligo as I think you have great forwards, I do think you miss carribine he is a top level player and would start for any county, he would help with fielding and 2 pointers. I do think the goalkeeper rule will change as it is deciding too many matches so wouldn't be changing things too quickly there, but Sligo have players and have been great underage for years so I'd keep the faith as I have no doubt you will be in div 2 in next 2 years, great forwards on the squad that will start keeping dividends Liftball (Armagh) - Posts: 25 - 09/02/2025 21:48:42 2590311 Link 0 |
