In saying that Tyrone missed enough to comfortably win the game and it certainly isn't all doom and gloom like some are saying.
Alot of people have been saying how Rory Brennan isn't good enough for 6 etc. I think the other night made the case that he is close to essential for holding the middle, we haven't any other player with his discipline in that position and we must bring him back into the team for the remainder of the league. Canavan and McElholm brought plenty of spark once introduced although wasteful and the full back line has potential and should be persisted with. Strange playing Cassidy at wing back when other defensive options were available, Cassidy himself done ok going forward and probably deserves a place in the forward line in a more natural position.
For Derry we probably need to make changes and not save as much for impact of the bench.

Good selection here in post.
But its style plan and determination together.Tyrone need leadership and direction. It all seems a bit random an whatever yer having yerself. This Derry game is crucial. Drawing with the 5th best team in the division against 14 for near 30min is bad esp. on home ground.
A marker should have been put down but....
The response against Derry will tell a lot and a clear win with clear tactics and clear combined determination shown all thru is required or Tyrone may not even get into AI this year.
I had forgotten about that.
