Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Newbridge Exile]

Gone with an experienced 15, bench looks light on midfield options but hopefully some of the newer additions can make an impact and provide more scoring forwards.

Bench light on cover for the full back line as well

Going by Meenagh this week, Rogers and McGuigan aren't to play much, maybe abit of posturing. Seems most of the Derry lineups these days have changes before throw in

I was going to say that but trying not to be too negative. McGurk and Forbes can drop into the defence. Maybe Chrissy will tog out just in case.

Might be light on the bench, but it's the strongest panel we've had out in over a year. Performance is the most important thing - would be good to get the result too.

Are Lynch, higgins and Mcevoy our only missing players due to injury?
What about Sergeant from the minor team, didnt he do his cruciate early last year? Any word on his progress - some talent there too.

Assuming Marty Bradley and Niall O'Donnell too.

Murray not even listed now

Thats a bang average meath team that are living off frees, we are struggling with them.
Eventually Paul Cass and Niall Toner will have to decide if they actually want it enough.
Keepers not good enough c

What has the keeper done wrong? First Kickout was poor but not his fault we aren't winning breaks

[JGDoire]

Hard to win with that f**king ref

[Brendan]

Hard to win with they f**king ref

Cant blame the ref, Meath the better team with a soft goal taking the bad look off it for Derry

Trying to play Rory football in 2026 ain't going to work. Meath expended a lot less energy and looked like a proper footballing team

Jesus lad if you can't see the men in space for kickout while he's struggling to set up a ball. By time he's worked out whats going on its too late

Yeah we would have 5 min of possession and struggle to get a point, then we'd foul Meath and they'd tap over a 2 pointer. They were so much more efficient than us.

I don't think we played bad but just like last year it's just not enough

[Ryan O]

Shocking performance, men pulling out of tackles. Pointless substitutions.
Sean Young 69.21 on clock.
3 or 4 down and we're putting on Shea Downey for Toner and after that Mc Gurk for Loughlin.

Which one of them two would get you a score.
Shit talk for 2 years about systems and tactics, this teams miles off it and from what I see the desire not there to make a shape at changing that.
