Derry v Wexford 11th July 2015

Estimator · June 29, 2015, 10:46:49 PM

Derry scrapped by 14man Down by a solitary score at home.
Wexford destroyed Down at home.

It's clear who must be the favourites for this one.

dodgy enough spin up for Wexford on the 11th Night, maybe Derry take you`s to Owenbeg, save you the need to see the city of culture and its bonfires on the 11th nite

Unfortunately in spite of this we'll probably still get the favourites tag which we have never worn very well. We can't afford to have too many injuries going into this one.

Someone said on the Derry thread that PJ McCloskey was back in training. I hope it's true. He'd be a major asset.

It would be great to have the game in Owenbeg. The 11th night in Derry wouldn't be much fun for the Boys of Wexford :-)

The bonfires are usually done on the 11th of August in the 'city of culture'

More bonfires in your neck of the woods on that date that mine mucker!

Derry are 1/7 for this. Can't see why

Neither can I. Down should have beaten us and Wexford dismissed them handily enough by the sounds of things. Johnson and McFaul ruled out too. Hope we don't lose anyone else before this game.

Why is MFaul ruled out?

Broke bone in hand making a block.

The lad hasn't played football in the best part of 2 years. . .

Are there any Wexford posters on the board?

There's one here...

Haha good lad Tickle.

With Johnston and McFaul injured who can we see dropping into their places? Sean Leo to WHB is an obvious one. What about the other?

Even though they haven't been great they have a lot more experience of playing Division 1 football.

Far better to get relegated from Division 1 than get relegated from Division 3.

Also Wexford seem to be a team who have a much better record playing at home versus away. Haven't actually looked at this but from the top of my heads have a notion their record at home is a good bit ahead of their record on the road.

Wexford pulled off a shock the last day against Down, it's very rare in the GAA that sides manage to pull off 2 shocks in a row.

Maybe Aidan McAlynn? McKinless will have another couple of weeks under his belt too so could be an option.

I'd assume Benny Heron would come in as a starter if sean Leo drops back, although he could maybe go with the likes of McAtamney. They way we set up i suppose actual starting positions don't mean all that much
