Quote from: NotedObserver on March 04, 2024, 02:44:16 AMAttacking play on the whole has a bit to go yet. It was good to see Oguz running at people today although it didn't always work out he's got the size and speed to cause problems. Conn can still take too much out of it at times

Thought Ben Cullen done well today but Niall Devlin had his hands full on paudie Clifford and couldn't really get near him

Felt sorry for Niall Devlin to be honest. That couldn't have been easy for him - how 3 members of management stood and watched a young lad get destroyed like that without switching him beggars belief.
It hopefully won't dent his confidence too much but it will surely affect any sub defenders who must be asking themselves questions along with the fact that we moved a forward back to replace Petie Harte when he got injured instead of a sub defender.

Thats a fair point. I was surprised he was still on him after the HT break I was sure they would have made a switch. Niall Devlin has a lot of very good attributes but not sure man marking a player like Clifford is one of them. He seems a confident enough player so hopefully it won't affect him too much.

I think we will beat Monaghan in 2 weeks time. They'll not fear coming to Omagh but I think in a must win game we'll have too much for them.

I'd have Cullen nailed on for a start going forward.

Maybe coincidence but we've been at our worst when he hasn't been on the pitch so far (2nd half v Derry, full game v Galway, 1st half v Mayo)

C Devlin, Clarke, Daly, O'Donnell, Donaghy have been big positives so far too

McKernan, Meyler and Burns. Any word on fitness?

McKernan has the hand in plaster cast. You could rule him out of the remaining two league games.
 
Tarlac Quinn - any word on him?

He's been very good any time I have seen him.

I actually wasn't too disappointed yesterday. Tyrone took some crazy shots and options. But they created plenty. Keeping lads fit is an issue but if we can head into the championship with guys coming back then that will be a good lift.
Next week is a big game but have confidence that they'll get over the line.

Have to say that I am encouraged by some of the new blood this year.  Hopefully some of them hold onto their places or provide competition for more established faces.  Important to get a win now against monaghan and I will be content heading into the championship

Having watched every Tyrone game this year i can't say i have been overly impressed by any of their new finds. Honestly.
In saying that, they haven't done poorly or bad, but just much of the same of what already is/has been there before. I don't see any real game changers there or someone to grab the game by the scruff of the neck. Seanie O'Donnell probably the stand out for his work rate alone

C Devlin at corner back hasn't done too bad in fairness as well. Hasn't done much wrong

Clarke, Daly and O Donnell have been good finds.  Devlin, Cormac Quinn and Niall Devlin shipped serious roastings yesterday. They will have learned much. Im not too worried though, Add Meyler, Harte and Mc Kernan to that defense and its a strong looking team.

Any idea how this was sustained?

Good article by Cahir OKane in todays Irish news about the problems with our attack. he's saying essentially the players are there its the shape thats wrong. i would strongly agree with him

He is basically saying Brian Dooher and his coaches aren't up to it.

That might well be the case.
