Replying To sleater:  "The League game against Mayo was the worst performance of the league. The 2 pointers from Fergal Boland before half time really killed any hope for Monaghan and they capitulated in the second half. Monaghan have improved in every game in the championship so far and further improvement is required again this weekend.

The injury situation for Monaghan is a bit unclear - unlikley to see Kelly (Achilles) and Carolan (hamstring). Bannigan previously said Michael Hamill would be back for All Ireland series so he must be close. Ward and McGorman, unsure what the story is here , especially Ward as he was on crutches after the Armagh game.

McElerney is suspended, so will that mean Ryan Wylie gets game time?"
