Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[LeoMc]

Am I correct in thinking tyrone are more or less safe from relegation and it would take a bizarre set of results to relegate them?  If correct I would fire a few new faces in there again or give game time to those that haven't figured so far

McCarron, Quinn, Oguz, Ruairi, Niall Devlin all got game time again yesterday and acquitted themselves well. A quiet, under the radar rebuild is underway.

I would like to have seen McCarron get longer. We still need a 6.

[Redhand Santa]

Thought McNamee might have got minutes yesterday. Is he an option at 6 if back fully fit? Leaving defence of Quinn Hampsey McKernan Harte McNamee Meyler and Burns playing sweeper?

This is last outing before championship and chance to test ourselves against a defensive team which we've struggled to play against in last few years. I can't see wholesale changes but likes of Sludden/McNamee/McShane could be doing with time. Could be a chance to get a look at McGleenan at some point too.

It's taken Daragh a couple of years but he's really established himself as a top intercounty forward. Probably our best player of the year so far.

Definitely good potential with the rebuild with players named above. Overall in a much more positive place than 3 weeks ago.

*edit intercounty not intercontinental

Sooner we get rid of Logan & dooher the better.

Well Scout ....what you reckon now ?

It cannot be underestimated the difference Mattie Donnelly makes to that team. Simply immense this last few games. We need to either find another one for the next 10 years or regenerate him.

[An Watcher]

It's a bit alarming that when you take him out of the team the wheels tend to fall off a bit.  Hopefully he'll stay injury free but some of the more senior players need to step yo when he's nit there

+1

He brings a level of leadership and calmness than is sadly missing when he is not on the pitch.

The professionalism of M Donnelly needs to be matched with the under 20s coming up through, when first on the panel was a bit lightweight but in a short space of time was well fit for it. Him coming back in the side with a re-jig in the half back line along with McCurry and Canavan inside has worked well. Hope Oguz keeps on it as his speed and height in half forward is needed and can be real asset

[An Watcher]

Early days with oguz, seemed to snatch at a few handy enough opportunities on Sunday.  I'm hopeful that he'll develop though

[square_ball]

I think Oguz has been impressive enough so far for someone new at this level. I'd say the team the last 2 games will be 14 of the team to start the championship. Only spot up for grabs is the number 6 jersey (wherever they actually end up playing). Probably McNamee or O'Neill if they can get up to speed in the next few weeks.

Think we should see one of the above in the team at the weekend

I think you mean overestimated there, ie, your problem right now, is that too many are underestimating Mattie's importance to this team.

Listened to Eamonn McGee on  OTB podcast about the ongoing shenanigans within Dongel County Board - looks like a right mess and one that Tyrone were lucky to have avoided over the last number of years. More luck than design, in my humble opinion.
McGee talks about the pressure of commercialisation and how county boards of today need to be more commercially literate and the important of having the right people in the right seats.
maybe it could have been tyrone in this mess instead of Donegal? Outside of Dublin Im not sure many counties have the right model in place

Yeah, it'd a business now.  Without doubt.

Look at the money involved - a huuge business and therefore, you need business heads involved in the background.
