I don't see Kennedy playing inside, I'd imagine he will start at midfield if the team starts as named.

We really need to move on and start playing two men inside, of that team named I'd imagine Burns and Harte are probably the two player best equipped to play inside and win some ball with McCurry and Sludden playing close to them, the rest will just filter behind the ball when we don't have it and support when we do.

I think that forward line shows how badly short we are of inside forward options.

Bradley, McCurry and O'Neill are not inside forwards in the modern game, they are good players, the former two in particular (I don't think O'Neill has the mobility for the modern game) but the generally are much better equipped playing onto on the 45 where they can get on the ball and run on moves and finishing. They don't have the physicality to play inside and winning ball.

I was disappointed Harte didn't look at alternatives to McShane in the squad for this year, we were so reliant on him last year that we really should have some contingency in place if he was unavailable. Without Donnelly and McShane available our forward line just looks powderpuff and lightweight.

Good to see Michael O'Neill get his opportunity tonight.

Neither are inside forwards though, I was more on about options outside the existing squad. He could have used the McKenna Cup to have a look at the likes of Ryan Coleman, Paul Donaghy or Danny McNulty to name a few - not they might not have made the grade but were surely worth a look at in the least in an area we are down to the bare bones at present.

That was a very good performance from Tyrone, attitude was superb - obviously with the lack of Donnelly and McShane the conditions suited us tonight.

Burns, Brennan, Morgan, Rafferty and Colm Cavanagh were all superb but I thought Peter Harte was the best player on the pitch. He's been out of form badly of late and has came in for some justified criticism but that will hopefully get him in the groove. I think we have to use him inside like we did tonight for the rest of the year, particularly with Donnelly and McShane missing.

Good to see Hampsey and McKernan back too, thought both did well tonight after their layoffs.

To be fair I'm not his biggest fan in general but thought meyler excellent tonight.

Is it just me or was it all the east tyrone boys at the frontline on the boxing?

Tyrone beat kerry and dublin in bogs and think they are great. Hiding the truth about a lot of failings but who cares.

Hard to make it out on the video I seen but I def could see hampsey taking cover in behind a few a richy donnelly doing the boxing.
