Qualifer Classification:Positives

We've had the Negatives now, Enjoy the Positives the Westmeath game can bring

Lose 

And Fitzer's reign is over....harsh as it sounds it's true.

You're all thinking it, I'm just Stating it.

The sooner the change comes, the better.

Old School

One thing we can expect on saturday evening, is a match of 15 versus 15, no Blanket defence, Straight knockout.

A throwback to the Old School and like they say 'Old School is the best School'

There's something romantic about the knockout system, For one, It will make the game that bit tighter, the scores more crucial and a whole lot more entertaining gut wretching and tension filled for the spectator.

U.S.A.

So We've lost our fair share to the US this summer and alot more than others in the inter county world.

Westmeath also have been hit with 2 emmigrations, and I would argue that not many other counties could cope with losing The Best ever Player the county has ever produced, Dessie Dolan and The best Goalkeeper they have ever had and This season's Captain, the inspirational Gary Connaughton.

Losing their two leaders give us a serious Chance to test their mettle nevermind their Debutant goalie's





Tendancy

to play well when the chips are down.....are the chips down?

Confidence Low after demoralising Defeat to Dublin CHECK.

only 4 at training, CHECK.

Injury Problems, CHECK.

Underdogs?, PaddyPower seems to think so...they're 4/9 on to win! CHECK.

Not expected to win by their fans. well, Their most optimistic fan is doubting their credentials, yes me so that a big CHECK.

All these factors combine to take the pressure off the lads and give them something to prove when they pull on the red and white jersey and when they do that they give their all, and their all is more than enough to win.

H eslin's Knee

A fitness test aside, he's been passed fit to play on Saturday (well, according to his own twitter feed )

You have to wonder how right he/it, will actually be for 70 minutes of a Qualifier match!? He was massive the last day for them and without him they are a much lesser team.

Our focus well, PK's focus (who is not 100% either) should be, to conserve his limited energy and solely concentrate on unsettling him. 

If, and its a big if that is successful he have a great chance to win!

The team will be named tonight so Selection discussion will be happening tomorrow.
