Quote from: Truthsayer on April 22, 2024, 08:32:31 AMYou don't think going a man down and how to cope with it is an element that the management should have dealt with in training? I would be asking serious questions about why we opened up so quickly during those 10 mins. That re-organisation lies with management imo.Quote from: tyroneman on April 22, 2024, 07:22:11 AMNah you've still lost me. Maybe I'm not up to speed with gameplans. You mention Derry, they were a shambles at the weekend. Kerry scraped past Cork. I've must have a simpler outlook. Tyrone went away from home and beat a side just beat Monaghan. Things went badly awry on the black card and need to look at why. Sitting in Breffini Park yesterday wat I saw was Tyrone were the much better team and when it was 15 v 15 Cavan wouldn't have won if we were there to next Tuesday. Next up... Donegal.Quote from: Truthsayer on April 21, 2024, 11:15:44 PMQuote from: tyroneman on April 21, 2024, 11:04:40 PMNo issue with players being blooded, transition years, need to gain experience...all that stuff....fine...What does that even mean? Lost their way when Hampsey went off on the black card... need to look at that. They were the much better side.
But surely you should be able to see a plan, a system, some kind of tactics beyond the basic, something to give these players a structure to develop in ...
What that means is exactly what it says. It's great to see new players get brought in and given a meaningful taste of league and championship.
There is also a lot of talent there, which means we can go on scoring sprees and look fantastic for periods. All good. So the raw ingredients are there.
What is not evident is a system or structured gameplay to compete with Dublin/Kerry/Derry (and McGuiness back means Donegal are also a much diffeent prospect).
There is zero consistency in the team, from quarter to quarter, never mind game to game.
Maybe I just dont see/understand the current tactics as well as others and I would be delighted to be proved wrong.
