Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Quarterbackk]

The job Gavin Devlin has done with Louth has been fantastic. Tactically very astute. He could handle the egos and podcast boys.

At the game yesterday and I think we're in for a trimming in 4weeks the in the Athletic Grounds,Rafferty nowhere near it,took him off,put on the liability off Mc Kernan who bombs fwd buts seems to forget he is playing at HB had a chance to  give a simple hand pass across the goal to square the game late on but as usual it was all about him,if Darragh and Eoin had've started I think outcome would've been different

Is Mckernan dropped? Would agree he is wing forward at this stage. He needs to play probably as many others not physically upto to it. Some of them have been on panel for 2/3 years at this stage

I genuinely fear tyrone are in for a hammering against Armagh. Far too many problems to fix before then.

As Tyrone now awaits Derry doing them a big favour in Div2 of the league! Sad

What's the best 15 in Tyrone? What started yesterday seems a bit away from that   

[skeog]

cjx what favour is that?.

[Aaron Boone]

Plenty of Cavan vibes that Tyrone are now Tailteann nominees.
There's a still a lot to happen for that - losing against Cork though is criteria no.1.

Derry need Tyrone to beat Cork to have any hope of promotion.

[Mikhailov]

Tyrone need Derry to beat Cavan (if Tyrone lose to Cork). In the event that Tyrone lose and Cavan win then Tyrone would be 3rd from bottom and perilously close to Tailteann cup.

Can't see that happening but to be even discussing it is alarming

Canavan supposed to be in Oz for 6 weeks only for Trump.
Brennan leaving panel.
Morgan missing game for a club mates wedding.
2 wins in Div 2

A rough start to they year for Tyrone.
I said it a few weeks ago and I stand over it, this isn't a good Tyrone team at all. A lot of players either over their peak or still a few years too early/not ready.

It goes beyond this. Players half heartly making a tackle or tracking back, no real desire or hungry to win. It looks as though from that there is something not right within the camp

Now new rules are well bedded in and tactics to use them clear small busy forwards and tough corner backs count less. Power and 2pt shooting essential and Tyrone as ever are overall too small and now badly conditioned lacking the strength and shooting power required or awareness of 2point shooting to either mark/track the shooters or set up the chances to shoot. Against Meath Raffery,tiny, left on Meath's key half forward 2pointer 4x2 8points gone before anything done. That is why l found it strange the management could not use Jordan and McKernan better and persist with small runners when power is clearly required. Still but for a lazy breech Tyrone could have been level with 5 to go. Very dull and sloppy as other posters say no heart (Harte?) in current team. After 23 years of heavy duty tactics its whatever yer having yerself a la 1980s. Change required if success and good use of young talent is to be got.

The vibes do feel off at the minute alright. This time last year we were beginning to turn the tide in the last few rounds of the league after a poor start in the league. There are very little green shoots now for optimism. Not as if there are loads of first team players to come back in now to turn the thing around.

I'd expect us to still put it up to Armagh and if things go right on the day you never know. I assume if we get beat in the Ulster first round, will we be ranked low for the draw and drew against a provincial winner in the first round? Or how does it work?
