Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Goals_Will_Come]

Tyrone's middle 8 remains a massive problem. No pace and no directness, all too slow. Not starting OHare is questionable as he has shown some glimpses in his first two games. The lack of directness from our half back and half forward lines needs addressed. We need the Errigal contingent back to help with this. In my opinion the middle 8 should look something like:
O'Hare
McKernan (if we can afford to keep him away from man marking duties he's a great asset going forward)
Harte
Kennedy
Conn
Seanie O'Donnell
Eoin McElholm/Ruairi Canavan
Joe Oguz

[Truthsayer]

£80K salary for this. Should have been Paul Devlin.

Whole set of new rules, best players missing... 1 win at home, 2 away defeats including All Ireland champions... sack the incoming manager

Is Mattie Donnelly a sub role now? Teague has size and can kick a point, could he move out the pitch if hampsey returns?

[GaaGPT]

We really rely too much on Morgan coming up the pitch. Think we need Donnelly or McShane as our 14. We cannot play Darragh, ruari,mcelhom,sparky all at once

Appaling shooting and misdirected passes Worst Co. game l have seen many a year. Brennan seems to have upped the organisation but I cannot see Teague as county material.
Tyrone won very few dirty balls. Do they care enough!?? Kennedy excellent but noone picked up his knockdowns which were often good. No drive, a confused look. Conditioning very bad!!! Conn looked mad headless chicken at times. Role needs defining better. The forwards need to take pressure off Morgan who had a schoolboy swipe at the ball at the end. Look at the 2 pointers in Donegal and Galway games. Tyrone missed 4 2points attempts with a good wind behind them in 1st half. A very disheartening thing for younger players in particular. O'Rourke had better smarten up. Should have given at least 3 Errigal players 30min each. This was the match to win with 4 hard ones to come. The only one to truly suss the new rules is McGuinness. Donegal superb!! Run their video to death and learn: Very fast please.

Seems to be a lot of momentum building behind getting rid of the goalkeeper induced 12 v 11 overload. Personally I agree after watching yesterdays fare.

Obv Morgan is one of our biggest strengths and will be severely curtailed if this were to be implemented. Question is, would it be crazy to see him take up an out field role?

Round pegs on round holes

1 Morgan
2 McKernan
3 Clarke
4 Hampsey
5 O'Donnell
6 Donnelly
7 O'Hare
8 Kennedy
9
10 P Harte
11
12
13 McCurry
14 Darragh
15

A MF partner for Kennedy
CHF and strategy outside of McCurry and Darragh is the huge question mark

1-8 is class
10-15 imperfect but I think the players and answers are there, gonna take grit above all else, only Tyrone teams that ever won anything had grit, time will tell

I think one of the problems at the minute is that our players are too comfortable taking the easy pass back to morgan.

They've become overly reliant on him. There were so many times on sunday when we were in attacking positions, with space ahead and just turned back to morgan.

Agree. Look at Bradley's point, absolute simplicity. Ball broken at midfield, Daly picks up break, one solo looks up and simple ball to corner on the outside of Bradley. Mark takes one look and pops it over the bar.

We've small nippy forwards, may as well use their advantage and try to move the ball up front longer and quicker.

Of course you can play them all at once, just need to be moving the ball very quickly which is our current problem. We need an injection of pacey direct players and players who play with their head up in our middle 8. That is our biggest problem at the minute.
