Word that dooher wants in the 26, Logan reckons needs another few weeks. Statement at moment. Joys of joint management !

Think they will add another inside forward into front 6 at least. Could Cathal return? Wishful thinking

Apparently management don't want to release the team ahead of tonight. Must mean Mcshane.

Could understand that to an extent in a knock out championship game. Can't see that strategy for NFL game surely?

Prob just trying something different. McShane or maybe go with a few of mccurry/canavan/Bradley/Brennan

Monaghan showing today how poor our performance was last week.

If Donegal defended like that last week.

Great start then all downhill thereafter. Need to pick up again and stop overcarrying.

tyroneman · May 22, 2021, 07:29:04 PM

Hope there is mention from Brolly of the free flowing Armagh playing 14 men behind the ball for large chunks of this match.

First half thoughts:

- We are a mess at the back, can't handle people running at us
- Burns has been terrible, so has McClure - a Div 3 standard midfield in all honesty
- Meyler has ran into a few blind alleys
- McCurry really sharp, Canavan too
- Donaghy oozes class but spills the ball too easily in contact
- McKenna continuing to be misused and looks frustrated
- Harte has been really good
- Gough being a fanny as usual - just booked Campbell for not having a gumshield in - such a pedant
- Not sure 6 is the place for Mattie
- McGeary has been really quiet, not getting on the amount of ball he had last week

Tyrone have been shocking this last 20min, losing a 5 point lead with little fight.

clarshack · May 22, 2021, 08:18:56 PM

Frank Burns got away with one there. Very poor tackle to give away the penalty.

tyroneman · May 22, 2021, 08:39:16 PM

Massive improvement needed.

Angelo · May 22, 2021, 08:41:04 PM

Meyler with a fantastic 50 yard pass to set Bradley up for a point with a mark and then a wonderful long range outside of the foot point there.

If he can begin to chip in with a point or two a game he is more than worth his place on the team with his work rate and stopping ability.

Midfield is a massive issue. No-one looks up to the required standard.

CK_Redhand · May 22, 2021, 09:33:21 PM

Midfield is the biggest issue

Next is the inconsistency of forwards. Ask 100 Tyrone fans to pick their best 6 forwards and you'll get 100 different answers. For me, the only two who would be certs to start if fully fit are mcshane and McCurry. Nobody else has shown the consistency to be counted on in big games.

Early days for management and with no pre season it makes it harder but they don't know their best team.
