The majority of the current team was there when he arrived but as I say he has still done a great job.

When you think about it though Monaghan, Cork and Shels have had nowhere near the amount of injuries we have had and for us to still be in touching distance is a decent feat by us. Take Sean Brennan, Ryan Brennan, Sava and 1 or two more key players out of the Mons team, take Davin O NEill, Graham Cummins, Shane Duggan and a few more from Cork and then take Conan Byrne, David Cassidy, Paisley and Philly Hughes from the Shels team and just think about the affect that would have had on all those teams.

A load of them up on the Premier and First Division section.

Basically we need a miracle. Mons beating Cork Tuesday would be a good place to start but even at that our goal difference is killing us.

If Mons beat them we need to win 3 and Cork need to draw one of their last 3.

Not wholly accurate. If Monaghan beat Cork then we'd need to get better results than Cork in our last three. Wouldn't necessarily require three wins depending on how they do. If they were to lose one of their games (say against Shels on the last day) then two wins and a draw would suffice for us. In the unlikely event of Cork losing all four of their remaining games we'd only need one point from our remaining games to finish third.

Hadnt thought of it like that. I was just thinking that if they lost to Mons Shels would be the only other team to beat them but you would never know what would happen.

It'll probably pan out with us needing three wins anyway given Cork's current form but there's definitely room for more surprises yet. One freak result could make the whole thing change again. If Waterford could even manage a draw with Shels on Friday it'd be a great result for us too depending on Cork-Mons on Tuesday as it could leave Shels needing a win on the last day, making things harder for Cork. So many permutations. :)

No matter what happens its great being involved this late...Not like previous years with 12-13 games to go and we know we have nothing to play for.

Agreed!

Tough to bring Shels to the last day.

Remember we need to beat Monaghan which will hand Shels the title if we do. If we don't then it is over anyway.

I want a draw tomorrow night. Still need another draw from Cork OR another defeat for Monaghan. Maybe Mervue you never know.

Worst result is a Cork win as we won't catch them then and then have to hope for a Monaghan draw elsewhere.
