He joined in 2022 season I believe & don't even think he has started a McKenna cup game? He obviously isn't up to it as he would have featured by now.
Knows the drills, has the gear, likely useful for training drills.

I just said he didn't look ready yet in the albeit limited appearances I have seen so far. He may well turn out to be a really good player for us its early days of course.

Unbelievable that. How many appearances did he make for Eglish last year? The lad has had no football at all, just returning after a very lengthy lay off, and people are judging him in 2 ten minute substitute appearances against Derry when the game was gone, and Galway - when we were chasing the game

Enda McGinley was a prime example of this.  When Tyrone eon their first all ireland I didn't really rate him as a corner forward.  Fast forward to 2008 and he was rolling between midfield and attack and was in the runingvfor footballer of the year.  Good luck to the young fellas and mcglennan

Was never played as a corner forward and wasn't always the easiest on the eye, but the shift he put in and importance to those teams should not be underestimated, i think there was a bit of a thing where when he scored Tyrone didn't get beat, coincidence obviously but what a horse of a man, broke his neck in the 03 AIF and played on, mad stuff altogether!

I agree. Lad has been injured, hasnt had a chance yet.

Quote from: southtyronegael on February 27, 2024, 11:33:52 AMWould  love to see a bigger unit in the full forward line to compliment mc curry/canavan. Either of mc Shane, mattie donnelly or mc gleenan would  be worth a go when available.

To be fair, Kilpatrick was there a lot of the time. I moved behind the goals Tyrone were playing into in the second half and you could hear Conn shouting to knock it in to him. And I think the first 2 balls he won and possibly won a free kick for a trip on him. Not sure if he's a permanent option there but it was working second half.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

McShane if he could get back to himself would be the ideal, but it's a big if. I think have him up top with and McCurry and Canavan there too, but probably not at the same time.

Donnelly too always has done well inside, but how he comes back is another question.

There's good players in the panel, different types of players and no obvious weakness in terms of playing personnel to me.

Is McShane still a part of the panel? Was definitely there during the McKenna Cup, was along with other injured players in the stand. Rumours he played a challenge game for Owen Roe's on Saturday night as the Mayo game was being played.

Heard he returned to full training the weekend after the Derry match. Playing a challenge game for Owen Roes would make alot of sense, he's coming back off major surgery 8 months ago.
Im only guessing here - this weekend surely still too soon, but then there's another fortnight to the Monaghan game on 16th March. Could we see him make the 26 then? It would be a boost for sure

A big man on the edge of square keeps the defence honest. It's not an option every time but sometimes it is.

Michael McKernan & Aidan Clarke both unavailable for Sundays trip to Killarney according to Irish News. Thats a big gaping hole in our defence. No word on Seanie O'Donnell in the article, but can only presume he will be out as well.
Would Tarlac Quinn be close to a return? The squad seems a bit light in defensive reinforcements? Eoin Corry would have been an option, but havnt seen him named in any squads to date

Not the best of news that although I did hear a rumour that Clarke had hurt himself at training. McKernan has a hand/thumb injury and will be out for a while.
Possibly bring in Ben Cullen and/or Niall Devlin (back to half back) and put Cormac Quinn into the corner.

I am automatically assuming Dazzler will start after his cameo last week so there will be 2/3 changes to the starting team at least.

This is where the squad counts but a tough place for it to get tested at.
