I was the same and when I heard that I knew we wouldnt win. Absolutely nothing against McElroy as I am a fan of hisThey undoubtedly do. And agreed - Turbo in the early rounds of Ulster last year was superb. Then struggled against Down and Derry.
But my heart still stops a little every time I think of when it was announced over the loudspeaker in Croke Park v Monaghan that Conor Turbitt will be replaced by Joe McElroy.
That's nothing against McElroy. Turbitt is a class forward and employing Joe to curtail the runs of a 35/36 year old veteran in Karl O'Connell was a worrying call.
