Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[tbrick18]

At first reading of the named team I thought it might be false, especially with Bradley named at wing back.
But the more I think on it, would Bradley be given a job to track Campbell? Put him on the back foot by pushing forward?
If everyone is fit, I'd imagine this team might well line out with the only real doubt Bradley's positioning.
We now do look very light on the bench.

Any confirmation on how long McKinless got?

Not a chance will Emmett bradley start LHB and track campbell. More likely mcfaul will drop in and straight swap with him. However, still don't think CD will start which would shake things up again.

Don't think everyone is fit either

Incrrect.

They all have to track back.

30 players inside the 45 usually and Bradley will be one of these.

That's football these days.  Even Shane Mc Guigan is on the edge of the square at times...his own square.

Are Slaughtneil in any real trouble in the league? 2nd from bottom having played a game more?

They are arguably affected by the split season more than any club with their contingent of hurlers and footballers missing. They should pick up enough points before the league ends.

Coleraine look doomed. Loup will be glad of Benny Hill's Quinn's whistle at the end the Ballinderry game on Thursday.

Was thinking that but that would be an issue every season, they'll have the county hurlers back after today I suppose which will be a good start to regaining some form.

What's the chances of a replay there given video evidence

What are the rules this year anyway (before they all get changed) - is it one down one into a playoff?

They should manage to pick up a few points in the last few games to finish above steelstown id imagine.

On another note has the league ever been less reflective of the actual team rankings? Kilrea and dungiven at the top, castledawson above glen and ballinderry 4 spots above slaugtneil. Obviously this is a result of lads at the county but even still you wouldnt have predicted it being this juggled.

I tell you what, that holiday you boys all said was a great idea really did the trick. 

[quit yo jibbajabba]

"you boys all said"

This is why the internets great

Apologies for the hyperbol, but there was a some very vocal people on here about how great an idea it was, how the boys deserved it etc... now a few weeks later they knocked sh*t out of eachother, players gone off the rails missing training, and getting hammered 3 games in a row. Not that the holiday (sorry it was a 'training camp' wasn't it haha) is the only issue, the fact we have a few injuries, an average goalkeeper and mind boggling tactics don't help either.

Should maybe have said that the first time 😉

Injuries/still poor squad depth
Rumours of discontent
Baffling tactics
Glen players finally tired?

A perfect storm. But God when we self destruct we really go to town 🙈

[Truthsayer]

Not sure this nonsense in April helped:

100% on all of that.

The most baffling of all is the tactics. Persisting with a high press when you've been destroyed on it repeatedly is just shocking. And I'd love to know if we even work on kickouts, there is such a lack of movement or obvious plan.
