Looks to be big crowd alright.

Brings me back to the 2011 - 2015 era when Cavan U21 games used to fill up Brewster Park midweek.

Would love to see the possession stats because Derry have had maybe 60-70% of the ball but doing very little with it. Clueless up front really running down blind alleys and carrying into trouble.

Tyrone on the other hand have defended really well, kicked early ball into the forward line and have come by their scores much easier.

If Tyrone can get more ball the second half they have the players to hurt Derry but really Derry should be 5 or 6 up at this stage.

Tyrone forwards on top but will they get enough ball? Derry nr10 the stand out player for them and need to get him on the ball more often

Is this Tyrone/Derry game proper knockout? Hard to keep track of everything these days.

Don't think we defended overly well at times. When it was a 1 on 1 we struggled when we were able to get 2 or 3 supporting players we managed to hold them out. Handed 3 points at the end there to I feel. Not sure what the first free was given for, feel like we got away with the same types of challenges down the other end and not sure what the 2 pointer was given for either

Were tyrone not on 12 points. Now showing 11

Tyrone well worth that win.

Derry were absolutely shocking second half and Tyrone started to get their fair share of ball and their better players made the difference.

Was Paddy Tally coaching these defenders?

tyroneStatto · April 23, 2025, 08:55:02 PM

Tyrone were vulnerable at the back there, Derry player could have worked a shot at goal if he really wanted to. Was happy to see him take a point with no time left.

Still cant work out how 4 of last yrs starting forwards are not on that team.

Our attack was shocking and led to the problems in defence.

We were still trying to play the old way of hand passing around the 45 looking for overloads when Tyrone were being direct kicking ball early into space.

Midfield ran out of steam in the second half as well.
