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 have 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

The vibes are certainly off. Who knows who will play v cork

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.

Was Michael Rafferty even on O'Connor? He looked to be elsewhere with Tyrone doubling up on other key 2 point kickers. Donnelly, O'Donnell, Daly and Kennedy closest to him for the kicks.
It felt that we had 5 corner backs playing in our 6 defenders with only Teague of the size required. Joey Clarke does look good though
