You'd imagine this team will be fairly close to what starts in terms of personnel. The one I'd be surprised starting would be Mattie. Given his injury he may be held back as a sub. Though if fit he's probably a safer option than McShane who could perform better from bench. There's a few boys who will be lucky to start though based on form - McGeary, McKenna and Sludden have all struggled this year. Hampsey at times as well. But the season will be judged from now so hopefully they can start getting back to somewhere near last years levels.

After the Derry I think Dooher had said Mattie Donnelly was 2-3 weeks away so hopefully if all has went to plan he has a couple of weeks training done. Would be a boost to get him back, Harte who wasn't fully fit v Derry and Canavan who was carrying a niggle.
Hard to see McShane starting now after being hauled off at half-time (harshly as our problems v Derry were legs around the middle)

Long time to next season for tyrone. Hopefully get the back room issues sorted out. Would like to see darragh starting more. Rurari may be able to get some game time as well.

Wouldn't be taking back any of the players who walked away this season.

McCann and Bradley were the only ones who had performed consistently and who could be realistically expected to add something. Donaghy and Brennan weren't trusted and maybe had one good game each over several years. Don't see why any should be brought back. There's enough quality there already and in the u20s, just needs to be put in the right configuration and a tune got out of them.

Things worked out last year, even when things didn't, like Covid they were able to turn it into motivation. They just didn't seem to be up to the pitch this year, tactics never seemed to come off and referee decisions not going for and going against us more.

What are the issues?

[Aaron Boone]

Tyrone were in catch-up mode after the New Year holiday, McKenna Cup campaign was notably weak with the League so close. 

But wouldn't be too disheartened. Plenty of counties such as Mayo or Monaghan would love the problem of having to defend Sam.

Another bad day office this year

- Strange team selection and assuming it was based on training performances
- No line breakers at pace apart from mckernan
- No idea how to attack fast
- Not enough score takers on or players with natural attacking intent

Very strange team selection, all up for selections based on training but doing no favours to MO'N who barely kicked a ball since the AIF last year to start the 2 Championship games, while leaving the player of the year out

Felt rough for Teague, hopefully he can bounce back

Burns, different position every game, does him no favours

Darragh Canavan is the nearest thing to Brian McGuigan and probably most suited to 11, hopefully that resolves itself next year

Conroy of Moy comes on v Fermanagh, doesn't make the squad today
R Canavan drafted in to sit on the bench

Both lads missing club football Friday night and no minutes today, wonder how that sits with them, its an imperfect situation unlikely to resolve itself

The likes of Conroy, Monroe and many others maybe on panel for 2 years training but Mike McGleenan comes on yesterday with a week and a half with the squad, what are them lads thinking today.


Real lack of cutting edge and pace coming from our defence, McKernan the only one who do it for the goal but nothing really after that. That's where you miss someone like Tiernan McCann who could come on and really punch holes in an oppositions defence.

[southtyronegael]

Very disappointing end to the year yesterday. Not enough scoring forwards, no energy,  teague gamble backfired badly.  M o Neill should never get a number 11 jersey ahead of Darragh canavan again. No scoring threat at all in the half forward line. Hopefully the club season gets finished in good time this year and lads get a few months off. Don't forget the club season finished on 19th December last year which is a joke and it really showed this year. We will be a different animal next year.

In fairness there was a clear issue at midfield and there weren't really any other options. I think he should have been brought on earlier.

[Onthe40]

will there be an exodus now to the US?

[Taylor]

I had thought there was a rule that you couldnt play in the US if you had played cship here?

You got your wish STG, grass isnt always greener, let this be a lesson.
