Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Winning kick outs is also responsibikty of outfield and particularly midfielders under new rules.

Severe lack of intelligence in that quarter..That's not on Cluxton."
You are correct Barney but Clucko has struggled under the new rules.The short kickout option is gone and no Fenton for him to aim at in midfield.Even last year v Meath Clucko struggled as Fenton was suspended.Time waits for no man.

Replying To Fionn:  "After all these years we still dont have a ready made replacement for Stevo.

Our backup goalies are ok but miles of him, and the likes of the Armagh, Donegal, Tyrone and Monaghan goalkeepers for example.

I agree - the new rules are not suiting Clucko though. And not a lot of time to put it right.
Although one could argue, if we had a better midfield, his job would be a hell of a lot easier....."
You are correct Fionn but Dessie s clubmate O Hanlon was a prospect but seems to have vanished.Comeford is nt bad.I just think Clucko should go gracefully but he wont go mid season.Dessie will have to make a call.You are right that even with other keepers we are way behind the Northern keepers.In fact Galway Mayo Kerry are not perfect with the keeper situation either.
