Derry v Tyrone Sat 6th Feb in Celtic Park

[oakleafgael]

How good is Kyle Coney? Objectively rather than bias in people's opinion. Is he as good as Stevie?

Completly different type of footballer. Will never be an out an out fullforward/cornerforward but has the makings of an exceptional wing half forward and with a bit more experience chf. Can take a score and has an excellent range of passing. Has the physique required already, needs to use it a bit more though, for such a young footballer and this will only improve.

The only possible doubt I would have would be his temperament on the big occasions, was very dissapointed with him in last years county final although he maybe wasnt fully fit. He has let it pass him by a few times,maybe being a little harsh as so much has been expected of him.

Its very hard to get excited as a Derry fan at the minute, to many false dawns. Its a long time since expectations have been so low, which is maybe no bad thing.

You're joking

No. He was a lot better in the second half than the first when he was able to get on the ball a lot more but I was expecting more. For a player of his natural ability to be so easily taken out of the game for a full half was surprsing. The only contribution he made for the first 30 mins was a late frontal charge just before the half time whistle.

Derry have plenty of big men named around the middle from Mark Lynch through to James Kielt.
Seamus Bradley will need a bit of watching,has serious pace and will be a handful for our defence.
Still worried that we will struggle for scores though,Penrose is probably our main scoring option from play.If Gerard O'Kane can hold him we are in big trouble.

Good man MH, you surely know how to flummox the measly mortal.

Not surprised, however, with Kyle Coney's inclusion in the starting 15, easily the stand-out of the Minor graduates.

decent mix of 2002 men and 2007 men developing. remains to be seen if they can gel and develop a decent system of play that works under pressure.

[tyroneboi]

Few bad wides aside, Coney has been very impressive so far. Certainly Tyrones stand out performer so far. 4-3 to Derry 20 mins gone.

[ONeill]

Cassidy makes it 4-4 after 23 mins.

[ONeill]

McNabb to Penrose - over the bar. 0-5 to 0-4 Tyrone.

McNabb playing well.
