derry v cork 02/07/23

[restorepride]

Cork the underdogs this time around, but traditionally they are big guns.

Derry definite favourites. There is an aura of champions with this team and we are all part of the journey.

We don't have auras in Derry nor ego and you are not on our journey. Find your own journey on Saturday.

Cork havent been big guns in at leat 12yrs.

[Wildweasel74]

Derry down now to just 27players with injuries, lose any more we might have a 26 barely for the semi if we progress.

Do cork have a chance?

I think if Cork had a full deck to pick from they'd have a right crack at it, but Hurley especially is a huge loss. He'd take marking so it makes it easier for Derry. The midfield battle will be one to watch here. Should be good.

Hurley a loss but it's worth noting he only scored 0-2(1f) against Mayo before going off injured on 55 mins and Cork would go on to outscore Mayo 1-6 to 1-1 to win by 3. Didn't feature at all in their victory against Roscommon.  Cork in the last couple of games had a good spread of scorers, with defenders and subs making big impacts.  One can't underestimate that the last two matches took a lot out of Cork and fresher Derry should be winning probably by closing the game out in the final 15 mins.

He's been struggling with injuries of late and then his hammer went badly enough in Mayo game, so as you say he hasn't been as effective as he can be. But he showed flashes in Kerry game of what he can do and if he were in any sort of shape Derry would be forced to man-mark him if he was out there which would improve the outlook for Cork forwards around him.

He most likely won't play though unfortunately for Cork. Derry would win even if he were there I feel anyway.

Did Derry call in a sub keeper? Scullion had his wrist in a cast did he not

Hurleys ball winning ability and directness will be a huge loss.  Even if hes not scoring hes asking questions of defenders are bringing others into the game. 

[imtommygunn]

He's been very hit and miss with injuries Hurley. Had the potential to be one of the best about when he came on the scene but dropped off with injuries etc.

Where are his brothers now? There was one who was a sub the other year and looked useful but doesn't appear to be about now.

Momentum and confidence within Cork will be huge after Mayo/Roscommon/Kerry games.
Cork have more than a chance, they have a good chance. It's possibly the draw they would have wanted for this game.
By no means a foregone conclusion, hopefully I'm wrong though and Derry run riot.

Thomas Mallon I believe.

Yeah last years GK coach, Thomas Mallon.

Tried to coax Conlan Bradley back in, but he declined.

Hurley named on the bench, he will 100% play a part this weekend.

[Wildweasel74]

Well let's hope Lynch doesn't get injured, could we not called in the U-20 keeper.

After the U-20 final I think not...postie a good safe option

[Wildweasel74]

Was that not the bck up keeper in the U-20, I seen postie a few weeks ago, lad not fit to come to the 45, and I not mention the high ball. We been here before and he wasn't what was required previous.
