Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[trileacman]

Whether you like it or not Brennan kept Burns out of the team last year and I don't see how you could overlook him this week given how wide open our defence was last week. There is a strong argument for Brennan at 3 and Burns at 6.

Out the field I'd rest Kennedy, if he's just coming back to fitness I see no need to flog him in what will be a dogfight of a match. He's a good sub option and Conn, Oguz and Daly are more than good enough to cover MF. Conn needs to be given freer reign by the management. Twice the last day he made a bursting run through the centre of defence and was entitled to have a shot from 30 yards, he threw the ball out wide both times to a player in a worse position and the initiative was lost.

Contrary to opinion I'd start J Clarke but not the other 2. He's a fit young lad, Sigerson is not that high intensity as IC football and I don't see why he can't do 40-50mins of the Derry game. He was too good the last day to overlook. No defender matched anywhere near his performance level (as regards defending).

As for up front, I'd start Jordan and Canavan so long as he's fit. The idea that McGarrity is some all-star, fix all player to whom we can just launch shitty passes and he'll clean up is laughable. Start 4 half-forwards and only play 2 inside, freeing up space for those to play. Playing our forwards in a slow crowded attack is our biggest weakness, we need to focus much more on fast counters and creating space inside for our forwards. Other teams can do it and so should we.

I have never seen Conn shoot before so dont think its anything to do with mgmt. thats always been his game, burst through and lay off to mccurry canavan etc on the loop. dont get me wrong hes great at it when at full flow cant be stopped

Hes a bit like Oguz. Can put over a spectacular but odd time will corner flag it.

Yes but a big 2 pointer against Armagh in Ulster last year. Has it in him but not big part of game for him

Biggest thing conn can work on is his temper. Always get the feeling he is a red card waiting to happen in every game

Conor Oneill very impressive for queens. Playing at 6 and diving forward with the head up. Ronan Cassidy scoring well also
