Replying To Viking66:  "The middle 8 spend all game transitioning backwards and forwards and have done for years in Football. Eoghan Nolan is very skilful, but I'm not sure he has the steel for centreback. If we had another Tom Byrne I'd play the 2 of them 6 and 8. As it is we haven't, so I'd go, assuming everyone except Shane and Darragh Brooks are fit-
D Brooks
M O'Connor, G Sheehan, M Furlong,
G Malone, E Nolan, E Porter,
T Byrne, N Hughes,
L Coleman, P Hughes, M Rossiter,
K O'Grady, S Nolan, B Brosnan/Ryan.
And ask Ben to empty the tank for the 1st 35 minutes and then bring Mini on, tell Ben play like he did against Tipp. Or the other way around.
Subs on would be 4 of D Furlong, Higgins, Brooks, Carty, C Hughes, Kinsella, L O'Connor, depending who looked tired or injured and what line they played in. And definitely start rotating in lads around the 45 minute mark. Have 3 lads on by around the 50 minute mark. Then 1 more around the mid 50s. Keep 1 back for injuries."
