No sign of u20s team for tomorrow's game against Roscommon. It's like they don't want anyone to go to these matches when they put it on at 5 clock on a Wednesday and then don't even have a team named night before the game . Surely there's a pitch in the county with lights that can hold these matches at 7 clock .

Replying To systematic:  "Think problem was 6 forwards on panel either injured or unavailable. Comer, Walsh, McDaid, Thompson, McDonagh, Power. Mulryan also in panel but capt of 20s so was probably needed for them tomorrow."
Very true I guess.
Probably needs to add some forwards to the panel at the same time though given that Comer is unlikely to feature this year, Thompson is gone until the All Ireland series & Walsh and McDaid seem to be injured on a consistent basis.
We could be down similar numbers for a championship game like.

I think their preference is to keep more middle 8 players in reserve. Likes of Conroy, Barrett, Egan, Roche, McGlinchey, Molloy, O Laoi, 2 O Neills, are there but not on every 26 & in case of inside forward injury rotate Tierney/Darcy/S McGrath in there and bring in one of the "midfielders" in half forward line.
Realistically we have 3 games until the all Ireland series. Demands on middle 8 players way higher in new rules so makes sense to load the bench with them and only have 1 or 2 spare corner backs/corner forwards.
