Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[The Coddfather]

Padraig Mcnulty scoring for Dungannon tonight. What's the story with him this year? Injury ruling him out of contention?

I'd say his lacklustre skill set is ruling him out of contention more than anything.

So whats the thoughts after the weekend? A badly needed win with the players who have been playing well again showing up again. Need a bit more line breaks for a few players with McKernan and Donnelly the main players capable of doing this. Mattie Donnelly a tyrone great.

Hope to see 1 or 2 players in against Westmeath but a win is a must.

Good to get a win, but in truth we were not overly impressive. Top sides wont allow us to get so many short kick outs away. We did well with the short kick outs.

Hard to know yet, but no team has looked massively better than anyone else. Tyrone have shown in flashes against Kerry, Galway, Monaghan and Armagh that it's within them and we still have quality players.

I think it was hard to cut loose with the way Armagh and the hot weather.
Mattie really looks up for it this year and O'Neill looked solid which was good to see. Sludden and Oguz were pretty anonymous, but hopefully they'll come into form. I liked that Ruairí Canavan seemed to be full of confidence when he came on, even if not everything came off.

Nobody is talking about Darren McCurry... he kicked some outrageously good scores on Saturday.

McCurry has become a top quality forward and was one of a few last year that played to top level

We look to be going through the motions, doing the bare minimum to get the win.
At half time I said I bet you we will sit back now and try to keep them at arms length. Pick off the odd score but not really go for it. Game management.
Some good performances around the field I thought from McKernan, Hampsey, Mattie, Meyler and D&D up top.
Was a bit worried how often our defenders let Armagh runners in for goals.
Great run and one two for Peteys goal chance but disappointed we don't create more chances like these or use the odd high ball into Kilpatrick more. Thought he took his point well from the mark.
Westmeath could really put it up to us.

I'm worried about westmeath myself.  It's do or die for them at this stage.  Has a time and venue been announced for this yet?

[CK_Redhand]

Ruari is not the answer (yet) but the experience he's gaining now is crucial.
The improvement in Daragh at IC level has been great.
At times it seems like nobody wants to make the attacking burst through and pass it off instead. Fair play to McKernan (and a couple of others) for constantly stepping up in this regard but more is needed from rest of team.

It could well come down to hunger and experience.Westmeath possibly have the hunger, whereas they showed their inexperience against Armagh, otherwise they would have knocked out the orange men

There has been no mention of Ronan McNamee but it looks like the full back line has tightened up alot since he returned.  Also, the form of Hampsey and McKernan has improved.

Band of brothers full back line...

I wouldn't swap that our 1-2-3-4 for any other in the country.

Absolutely. Class acts every one of them.

Hearing there is another squad departure and injury casualty in the Tyrone set up
