Fermanagh will be tricky match but hoping sligo can get over the line if forwards play as well as yesterday. Really need to tighten up at the back and kickouts. need massive improvement. Not sure why they changed the goalie but no going back now. Match will be on Sunday before Cavan Tyrone match so should be full house.

Replying To Taypot: "Did you ask " the man in the stand " how did Walsh play for Harps. He is another option for cover in the half back line. We were easily opened up yesterday at times but MC Guinness displayed the wonderful skill of blocking the ball with a dive on the Carlow players shot. Enniskillen was my preferred option as that is the venue that we will bring the most support." I did ask and I was told he wasn't great. He appeared to be limping in Tubber yesterday too

bookies/punters was right with Sligo to win by 5 to 7 points against Carlow. They should be right again this weekend with Sligo to win by 1 or 2 points against Fermanagh.

We are a Div 3 team playing another Div 3 team so I don't know why people think we got a tough draw. If we're not good enough so be it. I'm happy to be just heading up the road. I would be concerned about our defence which is all over the place at the moment. To lose Cummins and Cox from the half back line was a big blow but other lads just have to put the shift. God knows they are training long enough and waiting for their chances so take it

I would have thought the opposite and we'd be Saturday evening as wouldn't consider Brewster was a great spot for a senior inter county double header.

I spoke to a few people on the Molaise Harps game, Harps were 1-11 to 4 pts up at HT and it finished 1-14 to 14 in a win for Harps. Good win for them. Disappointed for us as we had our chances to make the comeback by all accounts. I was very surprised to hear that Luke Casserly was playing for us. If I am honest I was actually disappointed and frustrated because that means he is no longer involved with Sligo Seniors. As much as it is good for Molaise and we would have taken a heavier beating because by all accounts he was outstanding and the best player on the field. He looked to be pushing for a starting place last year with Sligo and he had a good club championship as most of you would have seen. You would think he was in prime position this year to push on but zero gametime. His performance on Saturday would suggest he is flying and playing well. With McNamara struggling badly and Casserlys ceiling much higher how can management justify him not making the 26 or even starting right now? Should he not be getting chances ahead of McNamara given his struggles. Make sense of that one for me.
Carlow game went as expected, given the space on show we exploited it well. Alan was given far too much space for his goal and that is a gift you don't get against top 20 teams. Forwards are playing well as you would expect with the space available. The defending remains an issue. Fermanagh up next away in Brewster. Not sure what to make of Fermanagh, they were very good against Down, then lost to Carlow to beating Longford and Wexford. The game is fixed for Saturday at 5pm in Brewster. Its a 50/50 game although I'd still be confident enough of a win.

I was chatting with another "man in the stand" and he told me he was bang average. Any player not on the named 26 is allowed play with the club, no big deal. Please don't turn him into a Joe Keaney where you see a terrible injustice. You are basing all your talk on third hand information, the same as the other poster with his"man in the stand". Luke is a good player strong fast and comes out at speed with the ball, unfortunately he normally passes the ball losing all the momentum of a fast break. He rarely kicks the ball. That's his weakness. It shouldn't be difficult to change that.

Looking back on the weekends club games Harps seem to be the big winners in D1 picking up a valuable 2 points that'll see them safe. Costly two for Molaise as it looks like it'll be Tour v Shamrock Gaels in league final when you look at the remaining games to come. Enniscrone have one foot in Division 2 and it's hard to see them safe. Coolaney v Curry on the last day looks like a relegation final at this point.
For upcoming week I'm expecting wins for Molaise, Shamrock Gaels, Coolera, Drumcliffe and Tourlestrane
In D2 Cloonacool pulled another point unexpectedly again fair play to them, the rest was no major surprise. Tubber and Ballymote as good as promoted at this stage, but it's the scrap down the bottom end that is tight. The winners of the games involving Cloonacool OMG Pats Easkey is where it'll be decided. If I had to pick I think Cloonacool and Pats at this point to drop looking at line up of games. But if Cloonacool were to find a win somewhere I think 5 would keep them safe.
Expecting wins for Bunninadden, Calry, Tubbercurry, Ballymote, OMG this weekend.
Will Saturdays games now be moved for Sligo game?

I think they'd actually be upset with me if I did. If they were good enough, they'd be in and what's more, the players themselves rarely make any excuses for not making a panel, so don't need you to on their behalf. If he's not in a fairly OK gameday 26, he's doing something that management doesn't like. If he's good enough, and learns from it, he might get chances again. I know you're very proud of the super club being established there in North Sligo, but don't forget they've no championship won yet. When they win a couple, we can start talking about throwing a few of these lads in.
Also, how can something be 50/50 yet you're confident of a win?

Casserly is a decent player as are plenty of players in the panel. Not a lot between them and I'm sure if he was flying in training he'd be in. I don't think he's the difference and has a long way to go yet to have as good a career as Paul McNamara.
He may well turn into something for Sligo but Kernan and McEntee obviously aren't seeing it in training. That's where it starts. Im pretty sure he was imvolved in challenge a few weeks ago too. Stop making excuses for these guys. Let them find their own way.

It doesn't matter what club anyone is from. If Casserly was from another club I'd be questioning why he is not making the 26. I am very comfortable in my third party assessment and I have seen enough myself over the years. I can see a scenario where management are more critical of the runs from deep rather than inside line but for me McNamara has to do a lot better and (great servant) he is very lucky to have not really faced any consequences. Its bloody hard to lose the Sligo Jersey when you get one consistently under this management. It looks easily retained but not easy won that's for sure.
Kernan is a excellent pundit and was a classy footballer but our defensive set up has underwhelmed even accounting for the new rules. We haven't really looked like stopping the goal chances being created. If we can find a way to force a point instead we will be a different animal.
On the club scene you have to admire Curry in winning the last 2 matches beating Marys and Enniscone. Marys drawing with Coolera without their county players is not a great sign. Shamrock Gaels are formidable at home and look strong without the county players and fair play to Tourlestrane. They just are masters at maximising what they have.
We are a super club. North Sligo always the best most scenic part of Sligo, probably reminds Spillane of Kerry so he feels at home ;)

In real life I take cheap shots at players, coaches and management without any consideration for the effects it may have.
