On the game yesterday:
Conditions weren't great obviously. Thought we were the better team overall. Rogers, McWilliams and Keenan all had fine games at the back. Gave a couple silly frees away early on but after that Tipp really struggled to score, they didn't score from play at all. Shane McGuigan is a top class forward. Hopefully can be the springboard for a run of results.
Couple other thoughts:
I can't see any way we beat Armagh playing the way we have been, we just won't score enough. Players need to lift the head and look forward that bit more often. We had forwards one on one inside and wouldn't kick the ball in.
We had 3 extra men at a stage yesterday and hadn't a clue how to use them.
Why was Alex Doherty brought on a day after having played for the U20's with us 0-09 to 0-04 up (I think) and 2 or 3 extra men? Do the U20's not play again this weekend? Thought he looked seriously leggy running back towards the end and it just seemed an unnecessary injury risk.
If youd went to the game youd know he was only brought on during the second half. I assume mr Donnelly expected an easy ride v Fearmanagh and got it wrong as the draw after normal time meant Doherty had to slug it out over extra time. I wouldn't be getting annoyed over either the u20 or senior performances from the weekend though as you wouldn't put the dog out in that weather. 2 wins all that matters. hopefully we'll have more support for both squads in games to come when the weather isn't an easy excuse
Quite the opposite, reading the Donnelly interview in the CDP leading up to this match, he knew Derry was going into this u20 game like a 3 legged dog with the McRory men unable to field (Fermanagh were at full strength with St Michaels out). Was told we were 6-8 starters down, though not sure how accurate that number is tbhQuote from: oakleaflad on February 10, 2020, 03:35:05 PMQuote from: TotesEmosh on February 10, 2020, 02:55:44 PMI wasn't at the U20 game and, miraculously, was already aware of this. Twitter is some job. Doesn't change my point in the slightest given the game went to extra time in those conditions. Was an unnecessary risk in my opinion.Quote from: oakleaflad on February 10, 2020, 10:00:42 AM

Does McCarron have an injury? Noticed he wasn't involved with either U20's or seniors.
Lost a few teeth playing with Jordanstown's freshers
