I hear we have a lot of niggles on the injury front....

Cahillane is gone for wexford for sure.

Glynn ,Begley,donoher have all got injuries that might have them in doubt.

Timmons and O'Loughlin Paul Kingston and Evan O'Carroll are also carrying knocks

Why is it always like this leading up to the championship?
Every team will have players carrying "knocks". I very much doubt any player has lined out without some degree of a "knock". Cahillane hasn't been fit all year. Timmons, god bless him, always has some sort of "knock". Paul Kingston has been coming back from a "knock".
Just how it is. A fella could pick up a strain or a "knock" sitting in a car.

True Don , if you were to sit out every game you had a niggle or knock you would never be playing would you?😂😂 With the exception of being very sick , having a torn muscle or ligament damage or having a broken bone there shouldn't really be an excuse from a physical point of view ? Most niggles or knocks can be ran off but most of the time your mind can make it worse than it really is . Ever hear the saying " Injured in the head "?😂😂

Uisce

Looking forward to the game, more so than in previous years. Seems to be a little but more optimism about the team, winning Division 4 wasn't an extremely significant achievement but was the best they could do. Hard to speculate on a team, especially if some of those injuries are going to rule lads out, so I won't even try!

Will hopefully get a decent crowd to the game as the summer can start with a win!

Tony

I know Wexford have been poor recently, but going to Wexford Park and winning is not easy. The odds baffle me a bit - Wexford are 3/1 to win, we're 3/10. I would have thought that'd be a bit more even given that we haven't exactly set the world alight the past few years either, and Wexford's home advantage. Personally, I think we'll get the win, but I'd say about 2 points or 4/6 favourites kind of odds. Hopefully we can name a strong team. It'd be nice to make a bit of progress in Leinster this year. Another year of early qualifiers wouldn't be ideal.

We'll bate them T, relax. They're scrap. The best thing they have going for them in a retro jersey.

Well I'd agree with Tony . Like I'd imagine Wexford would be as good as Carlow? We were blessed to get out of Carlow with a one point win in the league . Up in Croker we only beat them by four plus they had a couple of decent goal opportunities aswell . I wouldn't lose the run of myself now although I think we will get the win . Hopefully anyway

Carlow were on a high, unbeaten. Wexford are in a slump, relegated and suffering mass defections. They played Division 3 football, but played it poorly.
Lads on here tried to talk Carlow up, but in the end, we had them at arms length, both days. No point getting carried away, but at the same time, its a poor Wexford side, that we shouldn't fear. We love a bit of auld fear here.

Laoiseabu

Well I wouldn't say we had Carlow at arms length the day we bet them 1-5 to 0-7 😂😂😂😂😂

I think they were in a training camp last weekend and are playing a friendly this weekend against a team from the north!

Evan O'Carroll did his hammer playing for cretty according to a cretty man I was talking to today and cahillane looks to be out

The other players are coming on well but Time will tell especially with Begley and Glynn according to the same Cretty man that was at a recent training!

The PRO

O'Carroll and Lowry definitely out for Saturday. I think Glynn may not be fully ready either.

I can see the team being something like;

Brody

Attride Timmons Dillon

Strong or O'Connor Begley Collins

O'Loughlin Lillis

P Kingston at 11 with 2 from Carroll, Donoher and Farrell on the wings.

Munnelly or Conway D Kingston Walsh


Laoiseabu

I think Glynn will be fit , but OCarroll , Lowry and Cahillane are all out.
