What way will they approach London? Start strong team similar to Monaghan and hope to take lads off early if they can open up a gap? Get more minutes into lads that need it. FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 30 - 01/04/2025 22:32:40 2600043 Link
Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "I've seen it a lot from you rossie supporters after any win it's because the team was poor. Tyrone in Omagh in a knock out championship game aren't poor. Rossies on the day was good defensively and shooting efficiency was good the problem at the moment is Roscommon are the opposite and firstly need to use the London game this week to restore a bit of confidence and sharpen up the shooting." 100%. Confidence appears to be an issue at the moment. I'd be shocked if he didn't start a strong team against London and get some of our sharp shooters scoring again.

Get more minutes into lads that need it." The approach should be to start with your strongest possible team and look to end the contest as quickly as possible. We have seen with our neighbours over the years to what can happen when the approach isn't right against London. Mayo in 2011 who chose to use the game for a run out for fringe players and those coming back from injury and before they knew it they were in a battle and lucky to get extra time. Leitrim and Sligo in 2013 and Sligo again in 2022 who needed extra-time to get past the dogged challenge of London in an intense Tailteann Cup round one tie at Markievicz Park. Lastly Offaly who are getting plenty of praise at the moment but just 11 months ago London gave them a trimming in O'Connor park.

In 2011 we tore into it and led something like 1-10 to 0-1 in 20 minutes . Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 2185 - 02/04/2025 18:45:21 2600182 Link
Our U20s 9 win against Sligo is looking a lot better now after Sligo beat Galway to tonight. Winner into the knock out stages in Tuam next week. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3991 - 02/04/2025 19:50:19 2600197 Link
Sligo, were much changed to the team that played Roscommon last week. If they beat Mayo and Leitrim they'll win the group. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1119 - 02/04/2025 23:14:56 2600246 Link
Replying To The_analyser: "Our U20s 9 win against Sligo is looking a lot better now after Sligo beat Galway to tonight. Winner into the knock out stages in Tuam next week." Mayo (under 20's) beat Roscommon by 5 points and Galway by only 2 points. Galway will be a difficult game next week. All to play for. Interesting to see how the Mayo v Sligo game goes. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 704 - 03/04/2025 10:38:30 2600289 Link

Replying To Seanfanbocht: "If we bate Galway and Leitrim????" Three would finish on 6 points then and results/scoring difference between the three would decide who finishes 1st,2nd,3rd. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3991 - 03/04/2025 13:33:29 2600343 Link
Replying To moros: "Sligo, were much changed to the team that played Roscommon last week. If they beat Mayo and Leitrim they'll win the group." Nine same starters against us and another two that started was introduced last night. All bar one point of their 2-8 scored last night was by players that featured last week. Sligo would need other results to fall their way for them to win the group and if Mayo need to win to top the group I would expect them to beat Sligo. On the other hand if we lose to Galway then Mayo will have topped the group and they'll rest starters for their final group game giving Sligo a decent chance of beating them and finishing on 6 points. So all to play for in Tuam next week it's basically a Quarter final tie. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3991 - 03/04/2025 14:10:12 2600348 Link
If Sligo win their remaining games they will win the group. They should beat Leitrim. If we lose to Galway but beat Leitrim places for the qf would come down to scoring differences between Galway, Roscommon and Sligo providing Sligo lost to Mayo. Is that the way it looks as of now. Obviously if we can win in Tuam or even draw it would be a good result. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1119 - 03/04/2025 16:03:49 2600384 Link

Our 9 point loss against Roscommon leaves us at a huge disadvantage if there's a 3 way tie on 4 points which could easily happen eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2060 - 03/04/2025 18:02:45 2600413 Link
