The experience players have been v poor. Mckernan, conn, burns, Morgan have been very poor. Attacking plan is to pass into corner and somehow work a score.

Miles away. Play more young lads or call Peter Harte?

I wouldn't say write the season off but would play more young lads or even just rotate the team so players know they aren't an automatic starter. I'd drop 3 or 4 of them that have been guaranteed starters and bring in new players to freshen things up

Should have been more ruthless last year with old guard tbh. Tyrone people need to realise where they are at

The kick outs needs fixed,
Kennedy needs support in midfield. Man marked by 2 Louth midfielders today for the kick out & still won his share.
They did not have to mark Daly today as he does not want know about the ball in the thick of the action, no grit, too soft. doesn't chase back or win breaks.
After Kennedy, no plan B apart from  on occasion as in the Cavan game .. Kilpatrick on the touchline.
Kilpatrick did very well in patches against both Derry & Cavan but was 5 out of 10 today like many.
A 2nd midfielder, winning kick outs/ break ball is urgently needed. Do we have one?

The opposition kick out needs attention too. Not winning enough or making it difficult for the opposition often enough.

I thought Daly was good today and one of our better players. Won a few kick outs and scored a point. Tyrone do not have any other options at midfield at the moment and conn is way too inconsistent to be a guaranteed starter

Oguz not an option at midfield? Don't think he's a world beater or anything but would have him over Daly at that position

Would rather see Oguz.

He's injured again and not on bench. Aidan donaghy/ben McDonnell not on bench atm so options limited.

Oisin McCann foot in a boot at them moment too

Really poor. So much I could say. You'd have thought at half time we would have upped the game.

Naming the squad on Friday and having a raft of changes come Sunday shows that the manager hasn't a clue, clear why so many players have zero confidence.

Ethan Jordan was our top scorer over the first few games of the season, but then is suddenly dropped and now gets 5-10 minutes? What's the thinking there!

Cassidy, Con, McElholm, Quinn all being played out of position. Midfield offer little threat. Attacking plan relies completely on darragh creating something from nothing.

Club Championship player of the Year dropped but space held for McGeary and McHugh, Jones, McCann etc who have never seen a minute of game time.

Unfortunately I feel it's time for Malachy & Co to go. I was confident and trusting when he was appointed but we have been listless and tactically nieve for the last 18 months. The constant churn in the starting team and squad is a sign of obvious issues. 

No plan A, and definitely no backup when things don't go as intended. And to top it of, relying on an S&c coach who lives on the other side of the world!

Is there anything in the fact that he's let one of our star forwards go travelling for a month at a crucial time of the season? Really don't understand this at all.

All of the above. Orourke isn't working out for what ever reason however the players quit playing for dooher they got what they wanted and new management brought in. Somehow they have gotten worse. They need to take a fair share of the blame.

Another year wasted it looks like.

History will be kind to Logan and Dooher.

So it should be. Always heard that the players didn't  Dooher hard tough love approach. He was right look at donegal, kerry, armagh etc all have hard players with a do or die approach.
Recency bias. Do you not recall Donegal prior to McGuinness returning? Armagh prior to 2022 and the direction they are heading now?
Lot of things not going right in Tyrone at this moment but it doesn't take much to swing things back around.
Team selection needs a big overhaul at the minute. Lot of players nailed on during league and not justifying that status.

Was Rauri McHugh on the bench? I didn't see him. Why is Teague out of favour?

This shows exactly how crazy we are.
He has let !!!
Darragh has some cheek living a life. I'd love to get a look at that contract he has signed with Tyrone GAA
