Odds of it making a difference are slim as cant see Donegal dropping any points. The head to head with Cavan is vital however. Lose we likely finish on 11 as would they and miss out on promotion
Win and we are promoted 100% guaranteed and can really use the panel in Cork

Beat Cavan and we are promoted - simple.
If we cannot beat Cavan then we have no errand going into division one amongst the big boys.
Watched Cavan v Meath and they didn't look much, so we should beat them by 4 or 5 points.

Thomas Niblock was asked on twitter would they be showing Armagh on IPlayer and Niblock replied back that they are showing Antrim vs Tipp instead. It did get some backlash as you would imagine

There appears to be a danger that the weather in Armagh on Saturday will be not unlike that of the last clash with Cavan, which might dampen proceedings.

Very quiet on here and only 2 days until the Cavan match.
What will management's attitude be - go full blast or continue to get some players game time?
We need to beat Cavan to get promoted and then we can rest players and focus on the championship.

Go for it. Now. No messing for this one week and get job completed
Can enjoy the luxury of giving the panel a run out next week with no pressure.

You'd imagine management will be largely sticking to the same XV as we haven't had any more than 2 changes between any of the league games so far. A defeat would be an absolute disaster whilst promotion with a game to spare would be ideal. Predicament for management is that they must realise they need to get serious game time in to the likes rian, oisin, tiarnan kelly, mcquillan and probably mcpartlan as these are the players we need playing to win championship games in Croke Park later in the year.

The management will name the same team as they've done for the entire league, if there aren't any injuries. I doubt the bench will even change that much. Get the win, seal promotion and then use the final game to give some other panel members some game time. It is a concern how reliant we've been on the elder players in the team like Grugan, Murnin and Campbell and how they've played the vast majority of minutes during the league. I hope they aren't burnt out by the time we're hopefully into a deep Championship run.

If we manage to get materially ahead of Cavan then they can bring a couple on.
Still giving rain for Saturday.
