Goalkeepers can nearly score points too with the prevailing wind there . Very tight pitch

Trollier should be on that list

Thought of him earlier but didn’t get around to edit, so that’s possibly 49 of the 50

Davy Crowe, once he recovers from injury may well be no. 50

Ah, he’s definitely involved, so that’s a reasonable stab at who the 50 were. With a few guesses.

No Ger D?

I’m beginning to suspect Ger’s not interested.

No one having a stab at a team? too early , who knows who is fit…

Gibbons
Dunphy
O’Donnell
Bellew
Gray
C. Burke
Madden
O’Leary
Mellet
Hayes (presuming he is fit?)
D.Burke
Boland
O’Sullivan
Crummey
Purcell

Subs Brennan, Flanagan, Murphy, Considine, Keogh, Whelan, Currie, P Smyth (fit?) R.Smith, Donohue, Whitley.

I’ve brought in Hayes and P Smyth presuming able, could easily see PSmyth starting and maybe Madden pushed forward with Mellet same or bench.

Maybe wouldn’t mind see Considine tried instead of Cummey at 14.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see something along those lines.

I’d have Considine in the FF line ahead of Crummy as he’s more likely to make something happen. In fact, the FF line of Purcell, COS, and Considine is pretty exciting.

I think in time Purcell will move to midfield to get him more involved in the game, but maybe in this lineup, he’d be dropping out to get on the ball and link the play.

I seem to be in the minority but I’m not a fan of Madden in the HB line or midfield, for me his main strength is man-marking. I’d give Donohue a few games and see how he gets on, if he can nail down a HB berth then that’s a major bonus.

If Grogan was fit I’d be looking at him as well.

Also, Danny to work into the mix there, supposed to be on the mend.

Gleeson & Hutchinson out, Tadhg De Burca is doubtful too

Barron picked up a knock recently too

Is it on the telly do ye know?..no harm playing them when they’re missing those few mentioned. Davy must be knocking lumps out of them😂.

It’s the deferred match on TG4 i think

So after all the experimentation over the Walsh cup, it’ll be interesting to see who he names to start the first league game.

No news on Smyth, Danny, and Hayes so far.

Danny won’t be playing
