Agreed however the management has made 2 years of making the same misatakes and bluffing about integrating the youth. The first sign of madness is making the same misatkes and hoping for a different result. I doubt that Mickey is capable of trusting new players and giving them championship game time until they bed down - Its just in his nature. He has achieved so much with his own players hes blind to some very pertinent facts about their ability to deliver in Croke Park. Its totally understandable.
Agree 100%. How do we go forward and change though? Will MH change his approach or not? What is the alternatives?
I have been living outside the County for a few years now, therefore I am not completely up to speed with the personnel available within the county. I suppose what I am getting at is who are the players that could potentially make a difference that currently are not involved? We need scoring forwards with pace and the right attitude, who are the best in the County coming through? How good is Daisy McDermott, Gareth Devlin or Kyle Coney? What about recent Under 21 stars, namely Finbar Magill or Johnny Lafferty? Whatever happened to underage star Ronan McCrory?
I honestly don't believe for one minute that in Tyrone we do not have a few big men who can field a ball and play a bit too, who are the realistic contenders to help with the midfield issue? I have heard names mentioned before (i.e. McConville, Rouse, Ronan Lafferty), but what is the general concencus on these and the other contenders?
A general question I have, who is the best talent coming through the underage ranks at the minute? Apart from the obvious standout minors, are there any real superstars in the making around the county at 16, 17 years of age?
