Yes ..........4 points return from Graham was a welcome return. Full back line did well i thought especially Mc M c Gill . Menton and Flanagan continue to improve through hard work..Conlon best of half backs. Tobin and E Wallace did well again when introduced ,as did O Neill. Mc Keever looks promising. Overall poor first half performance from forwards [apart from Reilly with 3 points] far too much book passing when within scoring range. Lenihan will be welcome back against stronger opposition. Clare virtual collapse in second half means cannot read too much into this win other than going in the right direction. nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 841 - 04/02/2018 16:54:01 2073888 Link 1 |

Great second half from the team after a pretty turgid first half. As mentioned above, Biggy really upped the work rate from last week. For me the players that stood out were McKeever, Lavin, Conlon, Biggy, Menton and Flanagan. Some really fine points taken by McKeever. I thought Joey did well before going off injured. Eamonn got a nice score. Overall a good day at the office but it must be taken in the context of the opposition who fell away in the second half. oldsam_newsam (Meath) - Posts: 638 - 04/02/2018 17:11:36 2073895 Link 0 |

Good day at the office alot to improve on but we are slowly getting there. We still need to up a gear and stop this silly handpassing. I was very happy today with that result. It wasnt looking promising at all 1st half. McKeever is a pleasure to watch he never fails to deliver. If we can improve on the silly mistakes we are making and prove we can be consistant theres no reason why we cant go on and win the rest of our games. Well done to the lads its great to see that passion back that we had lost for a very long time and to feel the lads are actually enjoying the game.

Personally I have said he never should have been dropped ! Form is temporary and class is permanent and I always felt he would deliver but remember its only 1 game and I wouldn't be getting excited too much !

Meath1977, not too many were calling for him to be dropped straight away. After a run of bad games most posters were hoping this would be his game to produce and he did. I think everyone is delighted with Grahams performance both in attack and in defence. Royalio11 (Meath) - Posts: 750 - 04/02/2018 17:53:25 2073921 Link 0 |

This petty stuff on biggy has to stop lads he can be frustrating and brilliant.from what I've seen of the man when teams put a runner or someone who can match his pace he seems to b on the fringes. Reco (Meath) - Posts: 419 - 04/02/2018 18:23:31 2073948 Link 3 |

I totally agree about the players seeming to be happy in the current set up and as a result are playing with more confidence. Tho have to admit the first half was very poor fare from both sides. Big improvement after the break, backs were solid through out with mcgill excellent - it takes time to learn the trade in relation to playing full back and he is doing really well. Midfield were solid but were outfielded a number of times in first half tho I have to say flanagan is improving with every game. Reilly was only forward who threatened in first half, there were wides(but not making chances is far worse). 2ndhalf was one way traffic, mc keever looks really composed on ball . Mcentee worked really hard at 10. Ball was moved at pace for some really nice scores. Subs did well , tobin again is probably pigeon holin himself as a impact sub but was exactly that. O neill did well, wallace is a threat and Halligan seemed to have pace and looked ok. All in all a really positive end result. Just a thought on the crowd today, I was expecting a much bigger crowd, the o byrne cup was better attended, hopefully they will return for the remaining home games. p.s, power should have got a straight red, was really lucky linesman bottled it!!

Couldn't make the game today, the bishop in Donegal decided to put a confirmation on today to stop me in my tracks but got commentary on LMFM, decent win, wouldn't have expected that margin of victory but it's a great bonus which has us too if the table. I said we would need 5-6 points after the first three games to be in contention for promotion and we are on track for that, the new players are showing great promise so far and now it's all eyes on next Saturday night, a win in Breffni and I think we can start thinking very positively. Onwards and upwards and well done to the lads today, and the burners yesterday, great to see both teams on top of their respective divisions.
